Apartment building, flagpole requests to be discussed by town council

La Ronge town council is expected to make a decision on whether or not to approve plans for a new three-storey, 36-unit apartment building at the corner of Studer and Boardman Streets at a regular meeting on Monday. 

At their meeting on Feb. 9, council approved the sale of the .92 acre lot to Kelly Fiske with the provision they would have to approve the final plans for development. Those plans have now been submitted.  

Administration collaborated with the purchaser in preparation of the plans. Details released by administration show the easterly full length of the building will face Studer Street, an off-street parking lot has been located on the west side so there is less parking lot visible from the adjacent streets, and concrete sidewalks are ample and provide two accesses each to Boardman Street and Studer Street, with well-planned internal pedestrian traffic flow. 

In addition, waste storage will be in an enclosed structure located at the far north end of the parking lot, and the colour palette for the exterior of the building includes a range of colours that administration deemed appealing.
