MICA Board members met with Tom Newman, the new owner of the property known as Longwood Commons.\u00a0 Mr. Newman is working to secure renewed approvals and agreements to allow a mutually beneficial development at this site, one which the community will welcome.<\/p>\n<p>Longwood Commons was the\u00a0 name for the project proposed for the J6 parcel retained by Frank Weber from his original Sandy Hills plan.\u00a0 It is located on the southeast corner of Rt 25 and Renaissance Blvd, circled in red on the approved site plan for Renaissance Village in the second photo above.\u00a0 In the original\u00a0 plan, when Mr Weber was building Sandy Hills, this area contained a large L-shaped building fronting both Rt 25 and the Blvd, with a smaller residential building just north of that.\u00a0 In the newer version, the L-shaped building has been replaced by two separate ones, and the smaller northern building is gone, as indicated by the pink shading in the third photo above. The longer building along Renaissance Blvd includes an Urgent Care facility on the first floor, with 12 market rate duplex town homes above.\u00a0 The smaller building calls for a RESTAURANT, facing Middle Country Road.\u00a0 As the support letter from MICA indicates below, a restaurant is the Number One request from our members and the community at large.\u00a0 We believe the artist&#8217;s rendering of the project (top photo) shows a pleasant looking addition to our hamlet center and wish Mr. Weber well in securing the special permit he needs to make his long-held dream come true in the heart of Middle Island.\u00a0 Visit the website for the project for more details: http:\/<a href=\"http:\/\/longwoodcommons.com\/dev\/commercial\/\">\/longwoodcommons.com\/dev\/commercial\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Weber-support-letter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2792\" src=\"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Weber-support-letter-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Weber support letter\" width=\"475\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Weber-support-letter-791x1024.jpg 791w, http:\/\/s453969799.onlinehome.us\/mica\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Weber-support-letter-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In June 2026.
