DR HORTON at the PLANNING COMMISSION Nov. 21

If you care about the Celery Fields as a healthy public amenity for humans and wildlife, tell the Sarasota County Planning Commission that you oppose Rezone Petition RZ 23-30 . The Petition would give DR Horton the opportunity to build 170 homes on the Smith Farm property, yards away from the Raymond Road Boardwalk and a critical nesting area: Smith Farm is the light green - steps away from the Raymond Rd. Bird Walk and Nesting Area. Virtually the entire Farm property is a floodplain. Below, the FEMA map indicates that a very large portion of the Farm, showing in blue, is AE - which means it's in the 100-year floodplain.

 A MEMO from Commissioner Tom Knight that will be on Tuesday's  Agenda under Item 29:  County Commissioner Tom Knight MEMO To: Commissioner Ron Cutsinger Commissioner Teresa Mast Commissioner Joe Neunder Commissioner Mark Smith  Cc:  County Administrator Jonathan Lewis County Attorney Joshua Moye  From: Commissioner Tom Knight  Date: March 3, 2025  Subject: Outside evaluation of Sarasota County Comprehensive Plan and Sarasota 2050     As you may remember, at our December 13 strategic planning retreat I requested a review of our comprehensive plan and Sarasota 2050. I was told at the time that it was not something typically included in an annual strategic plan and instead could be a simple staff assignment.   At our next regularly scheduled commission meeting, I plan to raise this topic again but will request that instead of it being a staff project we invest in a qualified and unbiased outside consultant (possibly with he...
