This item concerns a proposed text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for Indian Lakes Estates. The amendment, proposed by Bill Braswell, would remove the requirement for sewer connections for duplex units within the Residential Low land use designation. Indian Lakes Estates is located south of SR 60, north of CR 640, and east of the City of Lake Wales. This policy change is currently under review, with a first reading planned for June 16, 2026, and an adoption hearing set for August 18, 2026. If approved, this change could lead to future development opportunities. The scope of work would likely involve planning and design services, followed by potential construction phases for new duplex units. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as engineering, land development, and construction trades could find opportunities. Engaging early before final plans and permits are established may offer a competitive advantage.
