The final site plan for the Anna Maria Historic Green Village sailed through the Anna Maria city commission's meeting held on June 24th.
Engineer Lynn Townsend Burnette presented the site plan on behalf of Mike and Lizzie. "This is a project the city can be proud of" Burnett said at the meeting.
Plans call for the preservation of three older stuctures - the Sears Cottage - the Rosedale Cottage and an older structure already on the site - on the five lots. Two new ROR buildings will be added, each with one residence, over office or retail space. No other residential space is on the site plan.
Commissioners seemed impressed when Burnett said the lots could never be sold to individuals. "The property will remain as a whole" she said. Public rest rooms will be available at the village and native landscaping and vegetation will be in abundance.
It was voted 3-1 to approve the plan. Commissioners Dale Woodland, John Quam and Jo Ann Mattick voted in favor of the plan. Commissioner Chuck Webb was absent from the meeting and Commissioner Harry Stolzfus voted to deny the project.
