Special to the Lehigh Acres Gazette<\/p>\n

\"\"The property located at the southwest corner of Gunnery Road South and Daniels Parkway, known as the Timber Creek project, could bring change to that area of eastern Lehigh Acres in the near future<\/p>\n

The project developer anticipates building a center consisting of residential and commercial. It is seeking a comprehensive plan amendment and planned development rezoning, with an overall goal of developing an MPD (master planned community).<\/p>\n

The Lehigh Acres Architectural, Planning & Zoning Review Board gave the project its approval after a presentation by Steve Hartsell, of the Pavese Law Firm. The project’s attorney, he appeared before the board on behalf of the Lennar Corporation and the Jared Holes Trust.<\/p>\n

If the comprehensive plan amendment is approved by Lee County, about 638 acres of the property will be located on the sub-outlying suburban future land use category and gateway\/airport planning community.<\/p>\n

According to officials, the remaining 67 acres will remain with the central urban future land use category and the Lehigh Acres Planning Community.<\/p>\n

Two planned development zoning districts are being requested for the property to address the future ownership of the property. The proposed 40-acre mixed planned development will be owned by North American Properties, while the 655-acre residential planned development will be owned by the Lennar Corporation.<\/p>\n

The Lehigh Acres Planning Community will have 40 acres of mixed used planned development, which will permit 250,000 square feet of commercial uses including 50,000 square feet of medical office and a 150-room hotel.<\/p>\n

Also proposed are 50 multi-family units. However, the schedule of uses limits the multi-family to no townhomes or twin villas, according to Ekblad.<\/p>\n

A remaining 27 acres will be zoned residential planned development, which will permit multi-family units.<\/p>\n

There is one major issue the property are in two different fire dept. zones Lehigh Acres Fire and South Trail Fire which both tax differently on buildings. According to Steve Hartsell, of the Pavese Law Firm, he was aware of the issue. But the developer has the time work out any issue before the first shovel hits the ground.<\/p>\n

A motion was made and unanimously approved to recommend approval of the mixed-used planned development and residential planned development for Timber Creek to county officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
