The Longboat Key Town Commission will discuss a site-plan amendment application for Town Plaza Phase II submitted by owner W. Howard Rooks to maintain the property’s 6,206-square-foot commercial building and 89 off-street parking spaces on a 2.01-acre site at tonight’s regular meeting. The building was home to Mattison’s Steakhouse at the Plaza, which closed in 2008. The property was part of a 3.53-acre site until last month, when the Lakeland-based Publix Super Markets Inc. purchased a 1.52-acre tract from Rooks for $1.25 million.
The Longboat Key Planning & Zoning Board unanimously recommended the site-plan amendment at its Feb. 21 meeting.
Also at tonight’s meeting, the commission will:
• Present retiring Building Official John Fernandez with an award in recognition of his 16 years of service to the town;
• Discuss the adoption of the annual update to the town’s Comprehensive Plan.
The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. tonight at Longboat Key Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
