Clearwater Cove - City Planning Commission Meeting Tonight

Tonight, the City of Hugo's Planning Commission will meet to discuss the proposed DR Horton neighborhood east of Victor Gardens (and south of Frenchman Road).  The development area, known as "Clearwater Cove", is adjacent to Victor Gardens Creek Side Villas sub association.

Clearwater Cove is also described in this The Citizen news article: National home builder looking at LaValle property

The agenda's numerous pages describe the Clearwater Cove project in great detail. This includes its relationship to Victor Gardens, Everton Ave., trail connections, etc.  

Also on the agenda is discussion of a new Park Dental commercial building to be built next to Kwik Trip.  The details of that proposal were discussed at this month's Victor Gardens Architectural Review Committee meeting.  The ARC approved two phases of the design.

The agenda for the meeting has been published and a copy of it may be found here: http://www.victorgardensnews.org/files/clearwatercove/hugoplanningagenda7-23-15.pdf

The public is welcome to attend this Hugo Planning Commission Meeting, Thursday July 23, 2015 7:00pm at Hugo City Hall.
