$2,250,000 offered for water, sewer (Citrus County)
$2,250,000 offered for water, sewer
By Terry Witt
An attorney for the company planning to build an upscale RV resort east of Inverness said his client is willing to pay $2,250,000 of the cost of supplying water and sewer to the project.
Robert Clark, who represents Century Realty Funds Inc., made the offer in an Oct. 14 letter to Inverness and county officials in which he asked if they were interested in a draft utilities agreement.
The latest offer includes $500,000 from Century Realty Funds Inc. to aid in the upgrade of a regional wastewater treatment plant owned by the city of Inverness.
Clark said the resort would be marketed similar to other projects his client has developed, focusing on people who drive recreational vehicles costing $250,000 to $1.5 million. Lots would sell for $75,000 to $150,000.
Neither the county nor the city has formally responded to the letter.
The proposed resort, which would be developed on the shores of Big Lake Spivey, has yet to receive a recommendation of approval from the Planning and Development Review Board or formal approval by the Citrus County Commission.
Inverness City Manager Frank DiGiovanni declined comment on the letter.
Citrus County Development Services Director Gary Maidhof said Century Realty Funds, Inc. realizes it must pay for water and sewer improvements as the cost of doing business, particularly in small counties like Citrus.
However, Maidhof said it might be premature for the county to approve a utilities agreement with Clark’s client before the RV resort itself is approved.
The resort would be developed on property currently zoned for one house per 20 acres.
The plan is to develop more than 800 RV units on 150 acres of land.
The project would include miles of walking trails, an executive golf course, a small grocery store, a canoe livery, boat ramp, clubhouse and other on-site amenities, according to Clark’s letter.
