Estero Dialysis at Corkscrew Palms is proposing to develop a 6,592 square foot medical office building within the mostly developed Corkscrew Palms Commercial Planned Development.
The proposed building will be a four sided/façade building with a porte cochere and bump-outs on the other sides of the building. The building will feature varying roof lines, columns, contrasting base, awnings and be painted in neutral earth tones.
The dialysis center will be a chronic clinic, with a home training center. It is to be located at 9431 Corkscrew Palms Circle, south of Corkscrew Road, east of Corkscrew Palms Circle and approximately 300 feet east of the Estero Village Hall. (Presentation)
The Board recommended that the applicant meet with the association as the proposed building is missing some of the elements of the other buildings, add some roof accents, add a bench to the grassy area and consider placement for a back-up generator.

Public Hearing – Genova
Genova, currently under construction at the southeast corner of Corkscrew Road and Via Coconut Point, was requesting architectural modifications to the towers, chimneys and windows in their buildings, and giving notice to add two units to Buildings E and F under their approved zoning.
Jim Wallace stated that his consultant pointed out that 8 windows should be removed from the original plan as they are in the interior hallways, are facing blank walls and reducing energy efficiency. He explained the majority of changes he’s requesting are internal to the community.
Staff recommended a continuance on this application due to the fact that the Genova Pattern Book was adopted as part of the zoning ordinance and the applicant is asking for deviations from the Pattern Book. Staff wants the Village Land Use Attorney to make a determination on this process. The Board voted to follow the staff’s recommendation for a continuance of this hearing to a future date.
Public Hearing – Heartland Dental
Representatives for Heartland Dental, a 5,520 square foot multi-tenant (medical/dental and retail) building, were requesting approval for their development order.
This building will be located in the Grande Oaks Shoppes north of Corkscrew Road and east of Ben Hill Griffin Parkway.
The applicant stated they have added perimeter sidewalks, embellished an outdoor public area, added contrasting elements and stone texture at the tower base at both entrances. They have received approval of the building design from Publix and the association.
The Board noted a number of concerns regarding the building’s architecture and the internal landscape plan. The applicant asked for a continuance to the October 11 meeting; the Board voted to approve the continuance.
Additional details are available in the minutes of this meeting. Residents may also view the archived meeting by going to the Village website http://estero-fl.gov/council/watch-meetings-online/.
