About the Project
JMorton is the contracted reviewer of site plan, landscape plan permit submittals to the Town of Lake Park. JMorton works cooperatively with the Town Community Development Director and Town Planner in review of new development, redevelopment and code compliance issues.

The Town of Lake Park recently amended their land development code to encourage and allow more intense development along the Federal Highway Corridor. One of the projects JMorton reviewed was a new 23 story mixed use building with 332 residential units on 2.78 acres. The review of this project was challenging as it was the first development submitted under the new code regulations. JMorton and Town Staff worked collaboratively to ensure the first project reviewed under the new code met the intent of the Town Staff and Elected Officials. The project received unanimous approval by the Town Council.

Other projects reviewed include infill development projects within the Town’s commercial corridor. These reviews often include working collectively with the applicant and Town Staff to examine potential site redesign options, alternative plant materials and alternative requests such as variances to resolve code compliance issues.

JMorton has expeditiously processed many applications by providing an initial thorough review. During the initial review we communicate with the Town Staff and the applicant regarding the comment letter. The result is limited submittals which save money for the applicant and the Town. Overall, JMorton respects the Town applicant’s time and money without compromising good design.
