McKinney: Embassy official surveys site for village replica

McKINNEY - The Croatian Embassy officials had to see it for themselves.

Supetar, a village on Brac Island in the Adriatic Sea, would be rebuilt in McKinney?

Marijan Gubic, Croatia''s deputy ambassador to the U.S., viewed plans on Thursday for the replica village and toured the site of the proposed development, though he found only overturned dirt and surveyors'' markers.

But he left an evening reception convinced that ambitious plan to replicate the popular European vacation spot would be realized.

"Bringing Croatia to the United States is an important thing," Mr. Gubic told a gathering of local dignitaries and elected officials. "Texas and the president stand for freedom. My generation was fortunate enough to see Croatia become an independent democracy."

Mr. Gubic plugged his country as a beautiful destination for American tourists and a fertile market for U.S. investment.

"It''s a booming modernizing country," he said.

The replica village would be set on 45 acres in Stonebridge Ranch and include loft apartments, town homes, shops, office space and waterfront sidewalks, the developer said. Its buildings would boast stone exteriors and tile roofs.

Developer Jeff Blackard, who has vacationed in Croatia, will model the development after the Croatian village. It is to be on the southeast corner of Stonebridge Drive and Virginia Parkway, and called Adriatica Village at Stonebridge Ranch.

Mr. Blackard has hired Croatian consultants to ensure that the village''s architecture accurately duplicates Supetar''s character.

He travels to Croatia every three weeks to study the real village and meet with government officials, he said.

"Unbeknownst to our country, this project is headline news in Croatia," Mr. Blackard said.

I vjerojatno domaće američke drvene konstrukcije... a zid od 115 cm debljine od kamena da ti ni AC ne treba će ostat na Braču...

Znaci nisu to kuce nego apartmani i townhomes. Ajd lijepo sto ce imati crijep na krovu umjesto shingles, ali opet ne znam koji im je target market - mozda yuppies...

Evo i stranice od developera koji to reklamira... ima i skica predloženog naselja...

Pa zato i kazem...ako negdje pise koji je price range, odmah ces znati kako ce to izgledati. A i to bas ne kaze da je waterfront (ako nisam negdje fulo u textu).
