The Council approved the reconstruction of Old Hwy 8 NW along the Northwest Quadrant and on Wednesday, March 28, a work session will be held for updates on Long Lakes Landing. Baker inquired if the Council has had any discussion regarding Commercial Park Dedication. Doffing replied that staff has not brought that to the Council, so it was not discussed. Public Hearings: PUD2007-001 (amendment to PUD2006-002) Planned Unit Development Amendment to allow the addition of decks to the 55+ and New Urban Flat condominium buildings The applicant is requesting to amend the previously approved Planned Unit Development for the housing located on the west side of Old Highway 8 NW, known as Long Lake Landings. The request is to allow the addition of decks to the 55+ and New Urban Flat condominiums. The applicants previously gained PUD approval in August of 2006 and have since constructed sales trailers and began marketing. As a result of their marketing prospective buyers have requested the addition of decks and the developer would like to accommodate that request. Howard inquired what the developers mean by “aluminum style” railings. Teresa Greenfield, Director of Land Development for David Bernard Builders and Developers, replied that the railing will be built out of very durable aluminum that looks like wrought iron. She added that they have had a number of buyers who have expressed interest in having a deck so they can observe the lake. Howard asked how many units will have decks added to them. Greenfield replied that all of the 113 units in the Senior 55+ building and the 32 units for the Flat buildings will receive decks. CPH.
