Fine. Big improvement over existing land use. Strengthens the neighborhood.
I’m not sure the obsession we have with breaking up massing of gentle density. I don’t understand the trend of alternating cladding of different materials. Also, dont get the trend of grey brick. If not going to go classic st. louis red clay, might as well use color. I hate when people commit atrocities of painting over actual beautiful mason work, but if we are going to go with these grey brick facades without masonry details, then I will be fine with people painting these grey facades later to create a more vibrant street facade.
Yes, entrance on alley makes much more sense. There is already a curb ramp on Morganford so I’m sure the reason.
There is actually a collection of siding homes on Arsenal to the west of this site, which is quite rare for south city. Not sure the history of how that happened?

Also, looks like they are going to call it "Parkview Quarters" from the media tag on the fence
