New Lakewood Ranch Subdivision Gets Planning Approval

A Lakewood Ranch, Florida project called Eagle Trace Subdivision won tentative approval last week from the Manatee County Planning Commission. 

The commission agreed to a rezoning and preliminary site plan request to add 43.53 acres and 95 units for a total of 104.66 acres and 278 units.

County documents also confirmed the following headlines:

- The developer will be responsible for construction of part of the new, unnamed road, which will connect existing Pope Road to the project entrance

- The property includes 9.033 acres of wetlands, but only 1.29 acres will be affected by the development

- The site is heavily treed, with approximately 6 acres of mixed hardwoods. The developer has indicated about 85 percent of the habitat, or 5.1 acres, will be preserved through a conservation easement

The planning commission is an advisory body, so the project must still win final approval from the Manatee County Commission.
