TerraCap Enclave 270 Multi-Family Units + Commercial


TerraCap Enclave


TerraCap Enclave Details

Comment: 270 units of Multi-family brings an estimated 500 cars to this site behind RaceTrac one minute from the main entrance of Lake Sarasota. Families who have young children are likely to use Mauna Loa Boulevard to bus or drive their children to one of the three schools on Hand Road.

Add these to the families now moving into Ridgelake and Baytown Square, apartment communities just another minute farther in on North Mauna Loa. Ridgelake is filling up - it has 333 units, Baytown Square has 89 apartments. A recent visitor noted several young children at Ridgelake.

As a neighborhood, we need to consider the pressures these new residents will put on our internal roads, especially Mauna Loa, Lago, and Hand Rd.

Please plan on attending the virtual Neighborhood Workshop online via ZOOM on Thursday, July 23, 2020 at 6:00 PM to discuss the Enclave at Bee Ridge Park of Commerce (BRPOC).

The Applicant is proposing a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Concurrent Rezoning/Special Exception request related to a 26.05 acre +/- area located in the northwest and northeast quadrants of Bee Ridge Road and Mauna Loa Boulevard, Sarasota, Florida 34231.

The overall intent of the petitions is to re-redesignate 8.87 acres +/- of the 26.05 acres +/- owned by Terracap BR Partners LP from Neighborhood Commercial to Major Employment Center (MEC) on the Future Land Use Plan. This will allow the Owners to process a Rezone/Special Exception on 17.18 acres +/- currently zoned PCD (Planned Commerce Development) without a Binding Development Concept Plan and CN (Commercial Neighborhood) to PCD with a Binding Development Concept Plan.

The Workshop presentation is an opportunity to ask questions via Zoom following the presentation. The purpose of the Workshop is to inform neighboring residents of the nature of the proposal, discuss the Binding Development Concept Plan, and to seek public comments online. Staff of the Sarasota County Planning Department will also be available to answer questions about the process. This is not a public hearing.

Water Moccasin or Water Snake?

By -

At the Lakeview Park Clean-Up, some residents were picking up some branches of a tree when a dangerous Water Moccasin slithered out and dashed into the water. It might be useful to know one when you see it, but the differences between the venomous Florida Water Moccasin (or Cottonmouth) and the wholly harmless Water Snake can be subtle. Here are a few images and links that might help. First, here's a Water Moccasin Another shot of a Water Moccasin (click for a huge image): Here's the plain old harmless Florida Water Snake: Another clue (thanks Ray): When in water, Water Moccasins move on top of the water - almost as if they were gliding on the surface, like this: Water Moccasins are to be met with extreme caution. "When a moccasin is nesting or has her young in their nest it will aggressively defend that area," says Ray. "Moccasins have aggressively attacked people." Water Snakes tend to be partly submerged, partly out of the water, more like this: Click f...
