201 Lake Street Applicant Lowell Zitzloff and family, on behalf of building owner Westway LLC, are proposing a Planned Unit Development Concept Plan to build a three-story, mixed-use building at 201 Lake Street East. The site is currently home to an office building that primarily houses Coldwell Banker Burnet. The application requests also include a height variance and a conditional use permit.
