Permit record timeline

What happened with the Tarpon Woods mitigation-bank applications

This timeline tracks agency and applicant activity for the original SWFWMD application, ERP 47575.000 / App 889588, and the newer application, ERP 47575.002 / App 930235. It is organized with the most recent activity first so residents can quickly see what is active now.

Why the new application matters

The fight did not end when the first permit was withdrawn.

The public record shows the original conceptual mitigation-bank application was withdrawn/deleted in December 2024. A newer individual mitigation-bank application later appeared under a different application number. That means residents now need to track both records: the withdrawn original application to understand the history, and the newer incomplete application to monitor deadlines, RAI responses, agency comments, boundary/fencing revisions, water and floodplain issues, and any future decision points.

Timeline of Events

Agency/applicant events only. Resident letters and public comments are intentionally excluded from this timeline so the sequence stays focused on the permit process.

Summary for residents

The first application entered the record in March 2024 as a conceptual mitigation-bank application. SWFWMD issued a Request for Additional Information, the applicants submitted partial/full responses, and the record later shows time-extension activity, agency comments, a withdrawal request, and withdrawal/deletion in December 2024.

The newer application appeared in November 2025 as an individual mitigation-bank application. SWFWMD issued a new Request for Additional Information in December 2025. The record now shows a partial response, a time-extension request, and a time-extension approval. Residents should watch for the applicant response, any revised boundary drawings, and any agency comments addressing county setbacks, residential property lines, drainage, Brooker Creek, and mitigation-bank design.

What to watch next

  • Applicant response to SWFWMD's RAI.
  • Any revised mitigation-bank boundary or plan sheets.
  • Pinellas County comments about 50-foot setbacks from residential property lines.
  • Any new agency comments, completeness letters, or time-extension activity.
  • Any public notice, hearing, agenda item, or related county development pathway.
