Several styles of lodging are being considered, including resort cottage dwellings, condominiums, hotel style rooms and bedroom units within the clubhouse. The lodging will be available only to members and their guest and will not be open to the public. Subdivision of residential lots is not being considered.

The clubhouse was proposed to be located on parcel Key 337399 (largest parcel north of Lake Lindsey Road), central to the parcel and set back sufficiently from Lake Lindsey Road.

• The remainder of the south side of Lake Lindsey Road will remain as indoor open space with outdoor recreation activities.

REQUESTED DEVIATIONS:

Each lot is 2.30 acres, totaling 4.6 acres combined.

The petitioner’s proposed minimum lot size is 21,179 square feet.

The site includes two buildings totaling 10,482 square feet, parking areas, and paved/gravel spaces for inventory storage.

The proposed development includes the construction of a single-story, 7,000-square-foot equipment service building and an expansion of the existing paved and storage areas. The rezoning will allow business operations within the rear portion of the property, which is currently zoned Agricultural.

APPLICANT’S REQUEST:

The development is proposed to include single-family detached, townhome and villa units, with the townhome and villa units on the northern portion of the parcel, transitioning to single-family as it moves south.

APPLICANT’S REQUEST:

The applicant has submitted a request to rezone a 1.9-acre, partially wooded parcel from R-1C (Residential) to AR (Agricultural/Residential). The subject property is developed with a primary residence and is served by a private well and septic system.

According to the applicant, the intent of the rezoning is to allow for the establishment of a small-scale hobby farm. The proposed use would consist of limited agricultural activities, including the keeping of chickens for egg production and the cultivation of vegetables, primarily for personal consumption. Any surplus products would be utilized for non-commercial purposes.

The applicant has indicated that the proposed use will have minimal impact on the surrounding community. Chicken coops would be maintained in a manner intended to prevent objectionable odors, and animal waste would be composted and applied to the soil as a nutrient source. The applicant has also indicated that the proposed rezoning would support the property owners' retirement plans, with Mr. Davis stating that engaging in small-scale farming would have positive effects on his health.
