Discussion item, placed by Commissioner Sabatini, on whether to begin a county-initiated rezoning review of the Deep Woods Ranch conditional use permit (Ordinance 2006-61) for a private airstrip. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University bought part of the property on Jul 10, 2025, and residents asked for a hearing on plans to pave the runway and add a hangar. It was on the Board of County Commissioners agenda on Aug 11, 2026.
Outcome confirmed: The Lake County Board of County Commissioners voted 4-1 on August 11, 2026 to table the Deep Woods Ranch conditional use permit discussion until the property owners could work with staff and bring back a plan, per the August 11, 2026 minutes.
