3. Building Activities Update...The Building and Zoning Department has provided
<br /> the following statistics on construction activities. This data for the past five years
<br /> (number and value of the permits for residential dwelling units and the value of the
<br /> commercial/industrial permits) provides some interesting information.The first item
<br /> to note is that residential construction activity for the first half of 2003 has increased
<br /> significantly from the first half of 2002. Next, when you "do the math" the average
<br /> per dwelling unit permit value in the first half of 2003 is down slightly as compared to
<br /> the first half of 2002. It should be noted that this includes all dwelling units and not
<br /> just single-family homes.
<br /> Regarding the permits for the 206 dwelling units for the first half of 2003, the city has
<br /> issued 113 permits for single-family homes,permits for 18 twin home dwelling units,
<br /> and permits for 75 multi-family dwelling units (three to eight plexes). The 55% to 45%
<br /> ratio between single-family home dwelling units and non-single-family home dwelling
<br /> units is higher than previous years.
<br /> Regarding the commercial and industrial projects, the largest permits were for the
<br /> Sportech project, the Town Office Park (in Mulvaney Point), and the Hutton and
<br /> Rowe plumbing project in Cascade Industrial Park.
