3 issues in development with low priority
Stetson Baptist Church storage outbuilding
A storage building for dry goods that has been in review for over six months, with the applicant frustrated by what he called redundant comments. The committee required driveway apron paving, landscaping details, tree coverage counts, and a note that any future mechanical equipment be screened — partly out of concern that church outbuildings can creep into other uses.
Stetson University softball covered hitting facility
Stetson University proposed a 4,320-square-foot pole-barn structure over batting cages on its campus at 430 E Arizona Ave. It supports the university's athletic programs without major neighborhood impact.
Ace Hardware planned development
First-round approval to rezone 1.47 acres near South Amelia Avenue and East Howry Avenue for an Ace Hardware planned development — a new retail option taking shape.
