A
developer has ambitions to build about 300 single-family homes on parts of what
used to be the Matanzas Golf Course.
The 277-acre property
is scattered on several parcels stretching from U.S. 1 to
Lakeview Boulevard, all north of Matanzas Woods Parkway.
Commercial and office space is proposed for the land
fronting U.S. 1; most of the homes are proposed for land
along or at the north end of Lakeview. One or two homeowners
associations could be created to maintain the roads
associated with the new clusters of homes.
A recreation area is proposed for the northern intersection
of Lakeview Boulevard and London Drive.
The application was submitted Oct. 17 by developer Alex
Ustilovsky, who also is building American Village, off
Pritchard Drive in Palm Coast. City staff is reviewing
plans. The land is already zoned for a master planned
development, but there is no agreement for the proposal yet. |

The developer’s
intention is to avoid negatively impacting current
residents’ views, according to a source familiar with the
plans. A
neighborhood meeting will be scheduled sometime in November,
and the project will go before the Palm Coast Planning and
Land Development Review Board on Dec. 18, to entertain the
proposal.
The golf course has been dormant since it closed in 2007 and
has changed ownership multiple times since then. Ustilovsky
bought it earlier this year; he had the overgrown fairways
mowed and had the old clubhouse demolished on the property. |
