Tonight, the City Council passed the Commander/St. Johns Village ordinance on a unanimous vote. Four buildings (Buildings 100A and 100B are 44 feet in height, Building 200 is 40 feet in height, and Building 300 on Commander Parcel is 56 feet in height, not counting non-habitable architectural features), 250 units, 10,000 s.f. commercial, public boardwalk and kayak launch.

According the amended PUD, the demolition of the existing structures will occur on or about April 1, 2014 and construction of the Development will commence immediately thereafter.  Applicant plans to complete the Development by March 31, 2017.

Grimss, you've been a great resource for this project.  I have to confess that sometimes I turn to your online updates for information instead of asking my own client.  I hope that you will stay involved in the neighborhood review process as we move through design.

I'll like to watch the demotition of the commander.  That's a big building to bring down.

meh.....can't see the design too good, but looks boring like something we would see in Gate PKWY. The architecture should either be unique or at least follow the theme of the surrounding architecture.

I think the style of the proposed buildings corresponds to a beautful house a block away on Glendae and Oak pretty well actually.


......more like Mellow Mushroom Avondale owner's new house.GIGANTICA Gene.

No matter. It's only Jacksonville. The New Fishweir Creek Sweep will be better than what we have now. I don't even leave the back yard and paddle by the place anymore.
Looking forward.
