Planning officials gave the go-ahead to more than 200 projects, with a combined value of more than $44 million, during the first three months of the year. That includes projects of all sizes, including ones receiving administrative approval.
Cayman Islands Planning Department officials approved 120 projects valued at $16.3 million without direct involvement from the Central Planning Authority.
The department has recently published records pertaining to administrative approvals in 2012 on its website, which already contained agendas and minutes of the authority’s meetings.
Projects approved by the Director and Assistant Director of Planning include houses, duplexes, pools, gazebos, fences, signs, generators, subdivisions (of fewer than six lots), and modifications to existing proposals. Officials administratively approved three projects valued at more than $1 million, including a West Bay duplex, West Bay house and North Side house.
By comparison, during its first seven meetings in the first three months of 2012, the authority considered 84 projects valued at $28.0 million. However, the authority’s decisions on projects considered during its final meeting of the quarter, held 28 March, have not yet been published. The authority was scheduled on that day to consider 20 projects worth $1.8 million.
