Show Btfflo OKs Store Comcte By GARY R. BLODGETT Clipper News Editor BOUNTIFUL - Final approval was given to two large development sites in Bountiful at a meeting of the Bountiful City Council last Wednesday night. DEVELOPERS Walt Gasser and Richard Prows were given the green light for their proposed prop-osed developments of a mini-shopping center east of Main Street and south of 500 South and a condominium complex west of Main Street south of 500 South. The 184-unit condominium complex will begin be-gin immediately following groundbreaking ceremonies which were scheduled for Tuesday (yesterday). One, and possibly two 20-unit buildings will be built during the first phase. "THESE UNITS will be completed next spring," said Mike Holmes, vice president of: Prowswood, Ltd., project developer. "The first units will be erected adjacent to the Bountiful Boun-tiful Post Office." He said the condominiums will contain two and three bedrooms and designed from six different dif-ferent floor plans. "They will have a price range from $49,900 to $69,000 which should be very attractive to first-time home buyers," he said. EARLY BUYER interest has been so intense that intial plans call for one 20-unit building to be started this fall, with a good possibility that a second unit will be started shortly after the first and ready for occupancy next spring." To be known as "Carriage Crossing" - formerly for-merly Turtle Creek - the complex will be buil.t between 500 and 800 South west of Main Street. "It will have a traditional-colonial architecture with heavy accent on oversized window areas that will overlook the beautifully landscaped garden area," said Mr. Holmes. FLOOR PLANS will range from 900 to 1 ,344 square feet and will include self-cleaning ovens, tile fireplaces, oak cabinets, oak-trimmed oak-trimmed counter tops, carpeting, panel doors and other extras. Mill Creek will flow through the north end of the project and connecting streams, fountains and ponds will highlight the landscaping, Mr. Holmes explained. MAIN STREET will be marked for a right-turn right-turn lane for the condominium complex while 500 South is scheduled for widening and a left-turn left-turn lane to serve the proposed shopping plaza. The council agreed that Bountiful would pay for the widening of 500 South on the north side if the developer agrees to widen the street on the south side between Main and about 150 East. The city's cost was estimated at between : $10,000 and $12,000. MR. GASSER said final drawings of the pla- ; za - which will include an Albertson's supermarket super-market and several shops and offices - should be completed in about two weeks. "We would like to begin construction about mid-December and have the Albertson's store ready by July or August," said Mr. Gasser. "We feel this is going to be a nice development : that will be eneficial to a lot of people living in the area." |
