Schenk's-Atwood A proposed residential development involving the Garver Feed and Supply Company buildings off Fair Oaks Avenue would give the neighborhood a needed boost, said Al Arntson, president of the Schenk's-Atwood Revitalization Association.

"I think it's great," said Arntson. "To keep a neighborhood like ours vital we need to bring in more people." New families would support the neighborhood's commercial district and schools, he said. About 25 people attended a neighborhood meeting Feb. 1 at 01-brich Gardens to hear developer Phil Sveum describe his plans, which include converting the four-story feed mill to apartments, building other multi-family units and about 200 single-family units. The 28-acre property extends from Fair Oaks Avenue to Starkweather Creek, behind Olbrich Gardens.

Arntson said Sveum hopes to begin construction by the end of the year or the middle of next year. The plan still needs city of Madison approval. Arntson said residents at the meeting favored the proposal. Some were concerned that it might be a low-income, high-density he said, but were generally satisfied with Sveum's responses. "It looks like a classy development," Arntson said.

The plan includes park space, grassy boulevards between buildings and preservation of some wetlands. Access would be from Fair Oaks Avenue.
