The Ballard Boys & Girls Club completed its application to the Department of Planning and Development for a 5,400 square foot, two-story addition to the community center Feb. 9.

The renovation plans also include parking for 52 vehicles, new street trees along Northwest 64th Street, the relocation of the playground, and a reconfiguration of the play field.

In September, Executive Branch Director Mark Hendricks told the Ballard News-Tribune the renovation would double the number of youths the club could serve as well as give each class its own room.

"Our main focus is probably to add about 75 to 100 kids on a daily basis," Hendricks said in September.

There will be a neighborhood meeting to discuss the renovations at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 15 at the Ballard Boys & Girls Club, located at 1767 N.W. 64th St.

Public comments are due to the Seattle Department of Planning and Development by Feb. 24.
