Taylor Morrison of Florida Inc., has conveyed a site for a future elementary school in the Northwood residential development.
Northwood is a master-planned community in southern Pasco County, on the north side of County Line Road, east of Interstate 75 and west of Bruce B. Downs Boulevard.
The community is nearing build-out.
Taylor Morrison agreed to provide approximately 15 acres, more or less, of usable uplands for the school site, in exchange for impact fee credits estimated at a value of $450,000.
In addition, Taylor Morrison dedicated easements for an already-constructed stormwater pond and access from road from County Line Road.
The school site has already been filled and graded.
For the access road to be built in the proper alignment with the road to the south of County Line Road, a small triangle of property must be acquired from a third party, according to a school district document. District staff has negotiated that purchase and a future board item will be brought to the school board for its approval.
The Pasco County School Board approved the transaction, without discussion, as part of its consent agenda at its July 3 meeting.
