The Board conducted a workshop for the Estero Crossing Commercial Phase 1. The applicant was requesting review of their updated commercial building elevations and landscape plans.
They have made a number of changes to the elevations of the buildings, raising them with towers, as well as adding elements projecting forward from the ground. The side elevations include a covered outdoor dining area. The color palettes used on these buildings will be represented in the rest of the development.
The pocket parks include improvements of two sidewalks on each side which will be shaded, bike parking and benches. Landscaping includes royal palms, ground cover and shrubs, black olives and oak trees for shade.
Estero Crossing is a 43-acre site on Corkscrew Road adjacent to the Estero Town Center (Lowe’s) plaza. (Presentation)
No voting occurs during workshops.
