The 92-unit community was approved after a compromise between the City of Brooksville and the petitioner, after the original request for rezoning was denied in August 2024. The site plan for the development names the project Liberty Cove.At the time, City Council members David Bailey and Thomas Bronson were opposed to 93 homes on 50-foot lots on the 41.22-acre parcel, of which 18 acres is located in a flood hazard area. The council voted 4-0 to deny the petition. The fifth Council seat was vacant during this meeting.On September 25, 2024, the petitioner, Brooksville Associates, submitted a Request for Relief under the Florida Land Use and Environmental Dispute Resolution Act (“FLUEDRA”). During mediation, a settlement was reached, and Brooksville Associates agreed to build 92 larger lots.The City Council unanimously approved the settlement agreement on February 3, 2025, and subsequently passed the rezoning from PDP-MF (Planned Development Project-Multifamily) to PDP-R (Planned Development Project-Residential).Other approval conditions require a 20-foot buffer and fence with decorative columns along Wiscon Road and a 10-foot buffer, fence, and decorative columns along Barnett Road. The western boundary along Horse Lake Road currently contains natural 10- to 20-foot buffers from the planned preservation and drainage area. A 6-foot fence will separate the eastern boundary from a wooded area. According to the site plan, a single entrance with turn lanes will be constructed on Wiscon, roughly in the center of the southern boundary.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1vjQeB_1GrnbOXf00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1vjQeB_1GrnbOXf00" width="1280" height="964" ><figcaption>Land clearing along Wiscon Rd for Liberty Cove development, Nov. 1, 2026 [Photo by Rocco Maglio]</figcaption></figure></div></body>
