body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Lee Pedone, an individual and Lee Kelso Pedone as Trustee of the Lee Kelso Pedone Trust submitted an application for a Conditional Plat for the Verona Hills Subdivision, Application No. 1500882, for 302 units to be constructed on Parcel Key Nos. 394585 and 1357971. The conditional plat was reviewed by various County agencies and found to be consistent with County standards.

Additionally, adequate school capacity was found not to be in place or under actual construction within three (3) years after the Local Government’s approval of the Proposed Development.
