Development Applications Board.

The applications include a revision of plans for the former Palm Reef Hotel on Harbour Road, Paget.

The slightly scaled back plans by Entasis Architecture include 21 executive suites rather than 25 to 30 and only 15 apartments/townhouses rather than the original proposal of 20. There is also a reduction in the proposed floor space of 5,021 square feet.

The Wharf Development Company plans also see an increase in parking spots for cars, up to 22 cars can be accommodated.

The Bermuda Equestrian Federation have applied to put up lights at its Vesey Street headquarters in Devonshire.

Architect John Warwick has submitted plans for the BEF to erect eight 40-foot poles supporting 1,500-watt metal Halide lamps around the track and erect a vault with switching room.

Computer students at CedarBridge Academy may soon be getting additional space in the computer lab if the DAB approves the enclosure of a patio at the school.

The room is a 1,008 square foot addition to the southeast block adjacent to the Ruth Seaton James Centre.

Smatt's Cycles have applied to build a four-foot-high cycle storage shed and a concrete enclosure for a compressor at its St. John's Road, retail outlet.

The 573-square-foot addition runs most of the length of the eastern border of the property and encroaches on the southern boundary by seven feet. It will not be visible above the current boundary wall.

The compressor enclosure replaces a wooden enclosure and is intended to muffle sound.

The Bermuda Electric Light Company want to build a 205-square-foot workshop adjacent to a test facility near the east power station.

Canadian Pacific, owners of the Hamilton Princess, have applied to rebuild a retaining wall at its Pitts Bay Road hotel.

The wall runs southward from the Smatt's Cycle Livery and will be capped with Bermuda Stone.

The architects plan to keep heavy construction vehicles well inside the hotel's parking lot behind a wall for safety reasons.

And the West End Development Corporation have applied to replace a floating dock attached to the North Arm of the North Breakwater in the enclosed waters off Dockyard.

The new dock is double the size of the old one and has space for 18 vessels and will be anchored to the seabed.

In the application, Wedco write that the historic Dockyard wharfage is "not convenient and is not satisfactorily usable'' for small boats.
