Update on Two Proposed Developments on Bruce B. Downs

The Giunta Group was scheduled to present its revised plan for the controversial condo development on Bruce B. Downs between Lake Forest and Tampa Palms this month. The Tampa Tribune reports that the deadline to submit the revised plans was missed by the developer last month. This development has been opposed by many residents of these two communities over concerns of increased traffic on Bruce B. Downs. The developer has proposed "high rise" type condos (six stories) with the garage parking on the ground floor. The rezoning hearing on these condos will be rescheduled to March 6.

Additionally, the same Group has plans for the development of Trout Creek, also to be located on Bruce B. Downs near County Line Road. This development is planned to include 240 town homes, and 350 single family homes in addition to office space. The Trout Creek subdivision is scheduled for a hearing by the Hillsborough County zoning hearing master on February 5, 2007
