Developments
Village Green plan up for review
by Herald Staff Report
BRADENTON - A plan to turn a former golf course into a housing development heads to planners today for a second time.
The
Bradenton Planning Commission, along with residents of the Village
Green subdivision, rejected developer LagoInvest Florida's original
site plan in July. But LagoInvest's latest revisions have apparently
satisfied most of the opposition.
The plan for The seasons at
Village Green calls for 142 single-family detached homes, 17 fewer
homes than previously planned. The houses will average about 1,800
square feet of living space and 2,500 square feet total under one roof,
similar to the existing homes in Village Green.
Village Green
officials said, "the new plan addresses concerns residents had about
green space, the number of homes, building designs, and drainage."
Amenities include a walking trail along the project's perimeter for all
Village Green residents, a gated entrance, private roads, and extensive
landscaping.
LagoInvest bought the 42-acre, former golf course,
nestled in the heart of the Village Green subdivision, earlier this
year for $5 million.
Also, on the commission's agenda are
requests to build a 36-unit senior housing apartment at 104 17th Ave.
W., a rezoning and future land use amendment change to the 230-acre
Mixon property, to put it under city jurisdiction, and a request to
operate a day care center at 1300 Manatee Ave. E.
