Middlesettlements apartments get site plan approval, Alcoa commission will vote on annexation Monday | News

A proposed 92- unit apartment complex on Middlesettlements Road will feature four residential buildings plus a community building, gazebo and playground. The Alcoa Municipal/Regional Planning Commission gave site plan approval to Maryville Hall Apartments on Thursday, days before the Alcoa Board of Commissioners votes on whether to annex the 14.781 acres into the city. The commission will vote on the requested annexation, as well as the proposed zoning and plan of services for the property, at a called meeting at 8:15 a.m. Monday in the Commission Chambers of the Alcoa Municipal Building , 223 Associates Blvd. Although the planning commission recommended in April that Alcoa not annex the property at the intersection of Middlesettlements Road and Robert C.

200+ unit condominium development in Kalamazoo requires rezoning

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Walden Woods condominiums could expand by 200 units in the Arcadia neighborhood . In order to complete the project, the city of Kalamazoo will need to rezone 10.1-acres at 565 S. Drake to a residential, single-dwelling district. Thursday, the Planning Commission recommended the City Commission approve rezone the land, which will contain 40-60 owner- occupied units . The wooded and undeveloped property was formerly part of a Drake's Pond Apartments project approved by the City Commission in 1987.

Forsyth Park apartment complex vote may be reversed

A vote in support of a controversial 114-unit, five- story apartment complex next to Forsyth Park could be reversed this week — or area residents hoping the project is blocked could just get their hopes dashed for a second time. One Savannah City Council member is now having second thoughts about rezoning the project site bounded by Drayton Street , East Bolton Street , Abercorn Street and East Bolton Lane . After voting to approve Delray Ventures’ rezoning request for the project on Aug. 3, Savannah Alderman Tony Thomas announced on Facebook the next day that he plans to call for the 5-3 vote to be reconsidered during Thursday’s meeting. Thomas said Monday that he wants to hear more information about the project and see if the developer would be open to reducing the scale of the building, which he now believes is too big for the area. “I’ve never ever called for reconsideration of a vote up until now because I have reservations and am not afraid to go out and limb and reconsider...

A rendering of San Pedro Public Market Image courtesy LA Waterfront Alliance The redevelopment of Ports O' Call Village has been decades in the making. The village opened in 1963 with cobblestone streets, souvenir and gift shops and seafood restaurants. Now there are plans to change the New England- style seaside village into the modern steel and glass San Pedro Public Market . In 2013, the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners called for the redevelopment of the waterfront site , and in 2016 the board approved a 50-year lease for an expansion of the village in the style of San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. Mike Galvin is the Director of Waterfront and Commercial Real Estate at the Port of Los Angeles. "Part of the [Port of LA's] mission there is to make the waterfront accessible to the public and we view through this development we will really do that on a very large scale by creating this half a mile promenade down the main channel of the Port of Los An...

Aspen Ridge Apartments - 64 Photos & 10 Reviews - Apartments - Reno, NV - Phone Number - 1555 Ridgeview Dr

10 1555 Ridgeview Dr Reno , NV 89519 (888) 278-3512 Great place to live! Love my apartment it's very quiet and the amenities are updated. Maintience is fast at and work order also. Aspen Ridge will be the last apartment i ever live in! WARNING WARNING! Do not apply to live here. They charged my family $90 in application fees, plus an extra $150 in holding fees. Here's the kicker: The holding fee is non refundable after 72 hours, regardless of whether or not you are approved. That is $240 dollars, before they even let you in the door. Here is what happened to us: They dragged the application process out for twelve days, three of which they did not answer phones or emails at all (I called 15 times). During that process I continued looking for a home, since we had to move out on short notice. When I finally rescinded my application, they informed me that the $150 "holding fee" was non-refundable, regardless of whether or not you are approved. Thus, the application actu...
