Construction is underway at the site (in red on this map) just south of Asaro’s. It will be for a Hyatt Hotel. This is the 2nd hotel in NE Venice, with the other being an Echo Hotel on Laurel Road across from the new City park which is also under construction. More information on development activity in Venice at the Developer Approval Process talk on Monday, January 26th. See details below.
January 24th Bik-O-Rama, River Club parking lot, 9-11 am Probably the longest running Community Association event is the always popular Bike-O-Rama in cooperation with Bicycles International on Tamiami Trail. For those who have never been to this well-attended event, just bring your bike to receive a free maintenance check by the highly trained mechanics from Bicycles International. Consider bringing some cash to tip the mechanics for their free service. There will also be items for sale for bicycle enthusiasts. A Community Association membership table will be present for those who need to renew or join the Community Association. Don’t be late, Bike-O-Rama closes promptly at 11 am.
January 26th Developer Approval Process, River Club, 3:30 pm What did you say? They are building another &(%^%^(^ development nearby!!!!! Certainly, we have heard that comment numerous times over the years. Many residents are curious of the approval process that the city goes through when facing a development proposal. That process will be addressed at the seminar, “Developer Approval Process” on Monday, at 3:30 pm (note time change) at the River Club when Roger Clark, head of the Venice Planning and Zoning Department, will provide a presentation on this topic. Getting the facts may help residents gain a better understanding of a process associated with a growing Venice.
See Active Petition Schedule on Venetian Gems. On that website, there is a map of the intended developments in our area.
