Council accepts CC Homes conservation easement; Davie Area Land Trust to monitor preserved acreage
Summary
Council approved consent items to accept a 60‑acre conservation easement from CC Homes (The Estates by Turnberry). Davie Area Land Trust representatives said the easement increases local protected acreage and praised the developer’s cooperation.
The Town of Davie council unanimously approved consent items to accept a conservation easement from CC Homes for The Estates by Turnberry, adding significant green space to the town’s protected lands.
Linda Grech, speaking for the Davie Area Land Trust, said the all‑volunteer nonprofit has worked for more than 20 years to preserve the town’s open spaces and thanked CC Homes for cooperating on this, noting the land trust was accepting its fifth conservation easement in Davie. Another land‑trust representative said the 60‑acre easement adds to roughly 33 previously recorded conservation acres in town, bringing the total to about 93 acres protected in this set of holdings.
Speakers cited Davie’s comparatively high open‑space ratio: council discussion referenced Davie’s internal target and figures presented by the land trust showing multiple acres of recreational and equestrian trails and a per‑population open‑space standard that outperforms county norms.
Council approved the easements as part of the consent agenda; staff said oversight and monitoring responsibilities would be coordinated with the Davie Area Land Trust and that trail access and conservation easement terms would be specified in the agreements.
