The 84-unit residential condominium project was to commence all at one time, but owner and developer, Fred Taylor, decided to break the project into phases. Following a public hearing without comment, commissioners recommended approval for Taylor to begin phase one. The developers must now seek township board approval. A date is yet to be set for a meeting.

"He (Taylor) wants to break ground within a few weeks," said Eveline Twp. planner Eric Beishlag. The site plan remains unchanged. The first phase consists of the construction of three residential condominium buildings. The entire development is expected to take two years to complete. Sommerset Pointe will include recreation facilities and a fitness center, an inner harbor marina and a marina on Lake Charlevoix, with 136 slips. The docks will accommodate up to a 120-foot yacht.

The 23-acre site is the former Wolverine Power Plant. The land transfer was recently completed.
