Frauenshuh Commercial Real Estate on Behalf of Park Dental- PUD General Plan/Site Plan Planner, Juba, presented on the Park Dental. PUD General Plan/ Site Plan from the applicant Frauenshuh Commercial Real Estate. Juba described that the applicant is proposing an 8,001 square foot commercial building, which will be built in two phases. The first phase would be a 5,050 sq. ft. building, which would home the new Park Dental location. This commercial building would be located north of Frenchman. Road (CR 8) and east of Elmcrest Avenue. Juba explained that in 2009, there was approval for a 12,000 square foot retail building on the property, but the development did not get completed. Now, there are new owners and there is a contract on the property for a commercial building with Park Dental. Juba explained that this property is located within the Victor Gardens PUD. In short, the design concept for this PUD includes neighborhoods defined by public spaces, a range of housing types, street designs and pedestrian walkways that keep cars in perspective, architecture that responds to its surrounding and local traditions, and a mix of land uses to meet the daily needs of residents. One of the consistent themes of the Victor Gardens PUD has been the exceptional architecture that has been maintained throughout the development. The previous approvals for Victor Gardens North Village 3rd Addition require this development to be architecturally compatible with the rest of Victor Gardens and required that all four sides of the commercial buildings will have comparable finishes, leaving no underdeveloped backside of the building. The PUD design concept for Victor Gardens is a "French Village" setting with buildings constructed with a French/European architectural influence.
