Plans for a 240-unit luxury apartment complex at the proposed Lighthouse Harbor Marina Village development on Colbert Lane at Roberts Road earned an initial vote of approval from Palm Coast's planning board on April 21.
"It’s right on the harbor front. ... It’s a very wooded area; I think it’ll be a beautiful addition to Palm Coast."
— CURT WIMPÉE, southeast regional manager, Alliant Engineering
"I’m glad to see this area starting to develop," Alliant Engineering Southeast Regional Manager Curt Wimpée told the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board, adding that he'd been working in the area since 1999. "It's a beautiful development. It’s right on the harbor front. ... It’s a very wooded area; I think it’ll be a beautiful addition to Palm Coast."
The complex is part of the larger Marina Village master planned development on the old Lehigh Cement property between Graham Swamp and the Intracoastal.
Marina Village as a whole is approved for 663 homes, 160,000 square feet of commercial space, 80 wet boat slips and 200 dry slips and was annexed from Flagler County to the city of Palm Coast in 2019.
The luxury apartment complex's 240 units would be divided between five four-story apartment buildings with 48 units each, on 22 acres.
Overall, there would be 80 one-bedroom units of 700 square feet each, 120 two-bedroom units of 900 square feet each, and 40 three-bedroom units at 1,020 square feet each, Palm Coast Senior Planner Bill Hoover told the planning board.
Four of the apartment buildings would have wetland views, while the fifth would look out over a stormwater retention pond with wetland views in the distance.
The buildings are under the city's 60-foot height limit, Hoover said, and the development meet the city's requirements for parking, garage space and number of exits, as well as the standards associated with the Marina Village master planned development.
The planning board voted 7-0 to recommend that the Palm Coast City Council approve the development's master site plan.
