Palm Coast City Council has temporarily tabled a voluntary annexation of 62 acres to Palm Coast.
The land is owned by Geosam Capital Florida, LLC., and currently slated as a Master Planned Development for a 213-lot subdivision. The land is located east of Old Kings Road, about 2.5 miles south of State Road 100.
Matt Lahti of Gulfstream Design Group represented Geosam in the April 4 meeting. He said the applicant had a preference for the city's zoning regulations over the county's.
But that preference might be because the development company will not be able to alter its MPD with the county to remove a lot of preserved greenery, according to Charlie Faulkner, who said he worked on the land's original 2007 MPD.
Faulkner is one of several members of the Flagler Beach Polo Club — a gated community near the 62 acres owned by Geosam — that spoke up to caution the council from approving the annexation immediately.
The council unanimously decided to table the decision until city staff could learn more from the county.
"I'm getting the impression ... we getting something because the county doesn't like what they're going to do," Vice Mayor Ed Danko said, "and they're trying to pass that on to us. And that is my concern."
