The Palm Coast City Council has approved a 51-townhome development at the corner of Club House Drive and Palm Harbor Parkway.
Called Hammock at Palm Harbor, the townhome development is actually a reduction from an approved 2005 plan that would have built 112 apartments on the 15-acre lot. Instead of the multifamily housing, the lots will be for the single-family residences only.
After the 2005 plan was approved, the developer constructed and inspected the infrastructure on the lot and then began developing the apartment buildings.
However, project was never completed, city planner Estelle Lens said: Only one building with seven apartment units, a separate garage building with four spaces and a planned amenity center and pool were constructed on the site.
The lot was later purchased by Hammock Town Homes, Inc., who submitted plans for the Hammock at Palm Harbor townhome development in 2022. The initial application was approved in 2022 by the city Planning Board and the preliminary plat was approved in 2023.
The new developer has since applied and received approval to retrofit the utility connections on the site.
Because the design plan was for less than 100 units, Lens said, the application did not need council's approval until this final plat approval process. The development is surrounded by single-family and multi-family housing.
The city council approved the development application 3-0. Council member Cathy Heighter was absent from the second-half the council's June 18 meeting, which lasted over six hours. Mayor David Alfin, who was present at the meeting, had to temporarily leave the dais before the item was voted on.
