Hundreds Of Housing Units Planned At Development
PLANT CITY - A Tampa developer has submitted plans to the city for a 400-acre tract north of Bill Heard Chevrolet's showroom. The property, known as the Zack Tract, is largely wetlands and is in the middle of a flood plain.
Hence the proposed development's name: North Park Isles Canoe & Kayak Club.
The property has attracted attention in the past, but the trouble and expense involved in creating a residential project in a flood plain proved too daunting until now.
John Buehler of Landbuilder Corp. in Tampa designed the plan, which calls for about 300 single-family homes and more than 400 multifamily units among a network of man-made ponds north of the intersection of Sam Allen and Park roads.
The city once considered buying the 400 acres for a park, but a deal was never reached.
