<br />Wenzel Farm Planned Unit Development
<br />The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the request of Pratt -Amt -Oakwood Land Development, LLC,
<br />1611 Highway 10, Spring Lake Park, to subdivide by PUD 212 acres to create commercial, townhome, and single family lots, to be
<br />known as Wenzel Farm. The property is generally located east of Elmcrest Ave., and north and south of CR8.

<br />City, and area agencies regarding the development, as well as a list of work that needed to be performed prior to granting PUD and
<br />plat approval.

<br />plans of their first phase, which would include single family homes. They stated their plan was created to accommodate the sense of
