Development of condominiums and single family residential units on the Carroll County side of Lake Freeman moved one step further at the March 28 Area Plan Commission (APC) meeting.

APC unanimously voted to send a favorable recommendation to county commissioners to rezone Bridgeview Subdivision from L1 and B1 to PUD (planned unit development). Site construction plans were presented by the engineering firm of R.W. Gross and Associates, Inc., on behalf of the developers.

The subdivision will feature a private boat ramp, a parking lot and swimming pool, according to developer Kevin Sims.

"The boat ramp will be locked and will not be used by anyone other than those in the subdivision," Sims stated. Other news
