Commercial Development Coming

The parcel of land in front of our community, sandwiched between US-301 and Dartmouth Hill Road, is under contract to a developer. A representative of the Barclay Group has asked to meet with the HOA board "to discuss how we can work together to ensure the harmony and success of the development," he wrote in an email.

The board is not yet sure what that means. It is trying to learn what the community's rights are based on the property lines and previous plans for the parcel filed with Hillsborough County. It is zoned commercial, and original plans included a bank and a gas station, but a developer could put any kind of commercial business in the space.

To be clear: The HOA cannot stop the development from happening. But we might have some leverage in how it impacts our community. This will certainly top the agenda at the HOA's next meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, March 27.

If you own a unit in the community and have thoughts to share, bring them to the meeting.
