Some FAQs:

What does Open Space mean:

• In this case, “Open Space” has a very specific history. When Sarasota County approved The Legends in 1998, the approximately 336-acre Tatum Ridge property was treated as a single development consisting of the residential area and the existing golf course and open space.
• The approved Development Concept Plan identifies approximately 207 acres as “Tatum Ridge Golf Course & Open Space.” County records also indicate that this land was used to satisfy the open-space requirements associated with the cluster-housing development.
• What those historical requirements mean for the property today is an important question—and one that remains central to the current dispute

Is this a political event:

• While there may be a few politicians in attendance, this is not a political event. This is mostly an opportunity to share information, understand the situation and—have some fun!
