General Information
On July 23, 2025, the Planning & Zoning Division received a Preliminary Subdivision Replat petition from Joseph A. Kelly, PSM, representing Stantec Consulting Services Inc. This petition request is for the replatting of Main Street Ranchlands Plat No. 1, as recorded in Plat Book 56, Page 250 of the public records of Sarasota County. The replatting will extend the Wellen Park Boulevard right-of-way, creating a connection to Wellen Park Boulevard Phase 1 to the north and the Everglow Drive right-of-way to the south.
Additionally, the replat will create two wetland preservation area tracts, three stormwater management tracts, three open space tracts, and three tracts designated for future development.
The property described above has a Future Land Use Designation of Village, within a Village Zoning District. The right of way, preservation/conservation, stormwater management, open space, and future development tracts are permitted in the Village Future Land Use Designation, Village Zoning District, and the Village D District Pattern Plan. The proposed preliminary subdivision replat, as submitted, is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
The City Attorney’s Office reviewed and approved the proposed Resolution No. 2025-R-76 as to form and correctness.
