Private Planner's Counsel Sought on Rovin Request

The City Commission has thrown the problem of what to do with Sol Rovin's request for 150 apartment units at Hammock Oaks, subdivision to Rader Associates for their recommendation. Rader is scheduled to sit down with the Commission Jan. 8 for a conference to bring the City up to date on its survey of zoning and planning needs. The planning consultants are primarily concerned with the high rise building problem, but have been given several other areas to work in such as traffic, recreation, parking, utilities, overall zoning and land use by the Commission. Rovin is seeking to build 11 apartments on a 10-acre tract facing an artificial lake under construction at Hammock Oaks.
