P-68 Palmetto Ridge MPUD and cogongrass concern
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.
What was said
Machine transcription of 2m of recording, with speaker names inferred from voice matching. 100% of 11 lines carry a name. It shows what was said, not what was decided, and both the words and the names can be wrong.
a busy. Okay, item P sixty eight. Do you have proof?
We have approved publication in the Tampa Bay Times March twenty-fifth, twenty twenty-six, supplemented by an affidavit of site postings, uh I'm sorry, certification of mailings on site postings for the meeting of July fourteenth, twenty twenty-six, where it was continued to today.
Item P sixty eight is PDE twenty six seven eight seven seven. This is a zoning amendment in the name of Palmetto Ridge, MPUD, by the Palmetto Ridge Cattle Company LLC, EPG Palmetto Ridge Holding LLC. It's a rezoning request from an MPUD Master Plan Unit Development District to MPUD Master Plan Unit Development District, and this is also requesting a continuance of the September 9, 2026 meeting. at one thirty PM or soon thereafter say maybe you heard in Dade City.
Uh do you have a motion to get to continue?
Uh Mr Chairman Mariano and then I'll make a motion to Move up. So uh Palmetto Ridge is land that's covered with coking grass. And uh with emails with the applicant or the applicant's agent and staff. the way that they are dealing with the Cogan grass is not acceptable. They are disking it, which means they're cutting it up into little pieces. Which will
continue to grow.
Huh?
They will continue to grow that way.
Yes, and they will spread it. It'll go to the next place those machines go to. So I'm I'm very concerned. Um that is the op probably the worst way to deal with it. And so I am really asking the county. I've been banging this gong for a while. Until you get that under until you got a better method? That is not acceptable by that land developer. uh the l the land, the company that's doing the clearing. So um that's my comment on this one and um but I'll move to continue.
Second
All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay. Item P sixty nine, do you have proof?
