Resident-led public information and civic action

Protect the course. Protect the creek. Protect the wildlife.

Tarpon Woods is a long-standing golf-course landscape connected to the Brooker Creek watershed. Residents are asking agencies and County officials to review the current mitigation-bank application—and any separate future land-use proposal—on complete, current records.

Follow both Brooker Creek Mitigation Bank permit records.

SWFWMD maintains two separate public records for the proposal affecting Tarpon Woods. Use the current application to monitor new activity, and keep the original application for the earlier filing history.

Please allow time for the official record to open. SWFWMD’s older permit system can take 15–30 seconds to build and display a record. After clicking, leave the new tab open while it loads. If it produces an error or never finishes, use the search-instructions link under that permit.

What each SWFWMD tab means

Information appears when it is available or applicable to that permit record.

GeneralBasic permit details, status, project name, applicant, and permittee.
TrackingReview milestones, assigned District staff, deadlines, petitions, and advertising activity.
LocationCounty, watershed, and section-township-range location information.
MapA link to the mapped project location when mapping is available.
FeePermit-processing fees, payments, and receipt information.
Condition TrackingTracking for permit conditions or water-quality requirements when they exist.

DocumentsPublic uploads and correspondence. This is the key tab to check for the newest records.
NoticingFormal agency-action notices and petition information when posted.
Resident property protection

Document golf-ball, maintenance, or cart-path safety concerns.

Property Incident Records helps neighbors prepare a private community report of a golf-ball, maintenance, visibility, damage, or near-miss incident. It does not contact a government agency or create an official filing.

Campaign position

Preserve the existing course landscape

Save Tarpon Woods supports continued golf-course and compatible open-space use. That is a campaign position, not a statement that a particular future outcome is legally guaranteed.

Current application

The applicant says no earthwork is proposed

The current application instead describes vegetation treatment, planting, signs, and targeted fencing. SWFWMD still lists Application 930235 as incomplete and has requested additional technical information.

Compare the claim and record

Unresolved question

“320 units” is historical—not an approved project

Dated 2009 and 2024 County records discuss approximately 320 units differently. Current allocation, vesting, transferability, buildability, and location remain unresolved; no current County housing application is asserted here.

Read the density record

Current campaign ask

Review each decision on its own complete record.

Ask SWFWMD to complete a transparent, document-based review of Application 930235 before agency action, and ask Pinellas County to provide public notice and the review required for any separate land-use, zoning, drainage, floodplain, traffic, or site-plan proposal.

SWFWMD mitigation-bank review does not itself approve a housing project. County land-use review does not itself approve a state mitigation bank. The historic “320 units” references do not establish a current approved development.

Species observations and review considerations

The site distinguishes resident observations, photograph identifications, database records, and qualified-biologist confirmation. Species presence can inform surveys, avoidance, consultation, or permit conditions, but presence alone does not decide an application.

Why careful review matters

The Tarpon Woods landscape includes course features, ponds, tree cover, neighborhood drainage concerns, and a connection to the Brooker Creek watershed. The current mitigation-bank application, any later County proposal, and any federal role require their own records and procedures.

  • Track current ERP Permit 47575.002 / Application 930235 separately from withdrawn Application 889588.
  • Record species observations without overstating identification or legal effect.
  • Document flooding, drainage, and property incidents through the correct official and community routes.
  • Check Current Status before acting; no universal hearing or petition deadline is stated here.
