Conceptual plan included 47 units
Around 130 people crammed into the Ted Adcock Community Center on Thursday evening to give their thoughts on the proposed affordable housing complex on Stone Pine Road, which would be tucked in between the city’s corporation yard and the Cypress Cove neighborhood.
Officials say the public feedback will be used by planners as they move forward with the project. The conceptual design released by the county last week includes 47 detached single-family manufactured homes and a resident manager unit. Staff say the manufactured homes, which will be a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, mean lower building costs and quicker construction, both positive factors for advocates of low-income housing.
The layout of the new 4-acre neighborhood is being designed by BFK Engineers and landscape architects Kikuchi and Kankel Design Group. Some attendees liked the amount of open space and trees proposed. Each home is proposed to have two parking spaces and the neighborhood would have outdoor features like a recreational lawn, picnic tables and a play structure.
