Donald Sweetser plans to construct a four-story building with 32 apartments at 5 Sherman Avenue, said an application submitted to the Glens Falls Planning Board.
It would go where a three-story apartment building was destroyed by fire in spring 2014. That building resembled the 7 Bemis Place apartments next-door, also owned by the Sweetsers.
The project — envisioning 12 studio and 20 one-bedroom apartments and a basement parking garage for 13 vehicles — has an estimated cost of $3.5 to $3.7 million.
The architect is Ethan Hall of Rucinski Hall Architecture.
The project also calls for increasing parking in front of 7 and 9 Sherman Ave. to provide a total of 55 parking spaces.
“The color scheme will be tan vinyl horizontal and vertical siding with brick veneer on the exterior foundation walls,” the application states.
The project goes to the Planning Board for sketch plan review on September 3.
