Apartments proposed on Irby Street in Florence
By: Matthew Christian
FLORENCE, S.C. – New apartments could be constructed soon in Florence.
The city of Florence Design Review Board is expected to consider today whether to grant a certificate of appropriateness for apartments to be constructed in the 700 block of South Irby Street. The board will meet at 2 p.m. in the city council chambers.
Plans provided to the design review board indicate that two buildings would be constructed: an 18-unit, three-story building parallel to South Irby Street and a 22-unit, three-story building in the southwest corner of the property. The latter building will be perpendicular to South Irby Street.
The new apartment buildings would be between the Insurance agency of Dewey Powers and Creel Tire.
The application to construct the properties has been made by Drew Schaumber. Schaumber appears to be a real estate developer.
The property upon which the apartments may be constructed is owned by Rogers Family Investment Holdings LLC.
The design review board is a 10-member board consisting of a professional architect, a member with experience in financing commercial and residential property, a member actively engaged in industry, a general contractor, a professional structural engineer, a member experienced in landscape design, a member of the city staff, two persons engaged in business in the city’s downtown, and two at-large residents. It is tasked with performing functions related to the city’s overlay district and historic preservation according to city code.
