Merrywood Lakefront Lot Split — Ordinance 3368-26

Description

The new owner wants to split the city's largest single-tract residential lakefront lot (3.67 acres on Lake Osceola) into two 1.5+ acre lots, capped at 30,000 combined square feet, after the first reading was approved in June under the prior owner. The Commission tabled it to November 11 to draft enforceable facade-preservation conditions.

Impact summary

Approving the split avoids a possible 55,000+ square-foot mansion but hands out a rare exception to the city's 1990 lakefront no-split rule; the open question is whether a partial facade preservation is enforceable and worth it.
