In a recent government meeting, commissioners approved two significant development projects, including an expansion of the Black Creek RV Park and a replatting of the Alice Beach Block FF.

The Black Creek RV Park, which is set to expand its facilities, received unanimous approval for its second phase. The project, submitted by Black Creek RV Park Holdings, LLC, will add 17 RV sites, four cabin sites, and four tent sites across approximately 6.72 acres. The expansion is designed to enhance the existing park, which was initially approved in 2020. The planning commission had previously recommended approval, and the project will utilize existing water and sewer infrastructure, along with a modified dry retention pond for stormwater management. Despite some concerns regarding traffic impacts on County Highway 3280, no public complaints were reported, leading to a motion for approval that passed with a majority vote.

In addition, the commissioners addressed the Alice Beach Block FF replat, which involves changing the side setback requirements from five feet to zero for six lots. This adjustment aligns the plat with the previously approved Planned Unit Development (PUD) regulations. The replatting was described as a technical correction rather than a new entitlement, ensuring compliance with existing zoning laws. The motion to approve the replat was also passed without opposition.

Lastly, the meeting included discussions on the Calla Beach Resort Phase Three, which seeks to plat seven single-family lots and nine townhome lots on 2.47 acres. While some commissioners expressed concerns about the density of the development, the approval was framed as a ministerial act required by Florida statute, emphasizing that the board's role was limited to ensuring compliance with prior approvals rather than reassessing the development's overall impact.

These developments reflect ongoing efforts to expand recreational and residential facilities in the area, balancing growth with community concerns.
