ApprovedGeneral Plan Amendment

Merrywood Lot Split Comp Plan Amendment (1020 Palmer Avenue)

Description

First reading approved 3-2 to allow the 3.67-acre lakefront estate to be split into two 1.5-acre lots, with a 30,000 sq ft combined floor area cap and a Mediterranean/Mission or Gamble Rogers design requirement on one home; second reading expected in 45-60 days.

Impact summary

Prevents a potential 56,000 sq ft by-right mega-mansion on Lake Osceola but means the demolition of the historic Merrywood house is likely.
