Hardee County commissioners approve three subdivision plats for residential and agricultural use
Summary
The Hardee County Board of County Commissioners on July 17 approved final plat and minor subdivision applications for Thompson Estates (24 lots), Goosepond Miner Estate (9 parcels), and Mon Ramon (two parcels from a 30-acre parcel). Staff recommended approval for each application citing consistency with the county comprehensive plan and ULDC.
Bowling Green, Fla. — The Hardee County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved three subdivision filings at its July 17 meeting, clearing the way for future residential and agricultural development on parcels across the county.
Staff presented the three items and recommended approval for each. Anna Willis, a land planner with Kimley‑Horn, told the board the proposals conform to county policy and the Unified Land Development Code.
Thompson Estates (Resolution 2025‑51): The board approved a final plat to create a 24‑lot platted subdivision on about 67.5 acres in the FR zoning district, with a future land‑use designation of residential mixed use. Willis said there are no immediate development plans; setbacks, height and lot coverage will be set when development plans are filed. Commissioner Miller moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Wells seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Goosepond Miner Estate (minor subdivision): The board approved a minor subdivision to split nine new parcels from a 101.7‑acre parent parcel for residential‑agricultural use. Willis said the item was unchanged from a workshop presentation earlier in the week and recommended approval. Commissioner Wells moved; Commissioner Flores seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Mon Ramon (minor subdivision): The board approved a minor subdivision to split two parcels from a 30‑acre parent parcel for residential‑agricultural use. Staff said setbacks, height and coverage will be addressed with future development submittals. Commissioner Flores moved to approve; Commissioner Chancey seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The board’s approvals were consistent with staff findings that each application met the standards of the Hardee County comprehensive plan (policy LI 0.6) and section 9.12 of the Unified Land Development Code. No conditions beyond standard code compliance were added at the meeting.
Ending
All three items were presented at the board’s workshop earlier in the week and were unchanged for the public hearing. With the plat and minor subdivision approvals complete, applicants may proceed to subsequent development submittals that will specify lot dimensions and building setbacks.
