Springs development stalled as rezoning faces state study
Sarasota County Commissioners again delay a public hearing on Robert Morris Ramar Group plans to rezone Warm Mineral Springs for a 320 unit eight story motel and 710 multi family units while the state demands a costly regional impact study. Morris questions feasibility citing $150 000 to $200 000 study costs and potential delays years long. The springs on 76 acres supply about 27 million gallons daily with 87 degree water. Congress considered protected historic site status.
