A new proposal for a revised apartment complex and development project in southeast Minot has been given the green light by the Planning Commission. Tonight at their regular meeting the commission reviewed and approved the plans headed by Dakota Commercial and Development Corporation of Grand Forks. The original complex, that was protested by neighboring residents was for seven buildings that contained about 250 apartments. The new scaled down plan, that's plotted farther to the southeast, proposes only four buildings and includes townhouses and about 50 feet of green space to act as a buffer to the property. (Kevin Ritterman, Dakota Commercial & Development Corp.) "One of the larger concerns was the density so we've taken out a hundred and some units and then the access on 16th causing more traffic so we've tried to mitigate as much as possible and work with neighbors over the last couple of weeks. (Thomas Drouin, Lives in SE Minot-Spokesperson) He's made some drastic changes, changes that I think we can live with. It's not abrupt I think it will blend very nicely with the neighbors. The proposal now goes the city council for their review.  « Less
