June 2006 Update

Zoning Change from Residential (RB) to Private Services (PS-2), which will allow the property to be used for a Park and Xeriscape/Native Plant Demonstration Garden. There will be two public hearings on the zoning change: Clay County Planning Commission -- 7:00 P.M. on August 1, 2006; and the Clay County Board of County Commissioners -- 7:00 P.M. on August 22, 2006.

The Park and Demonstration Garden will be limited access due to tresspassing and vandalism concerns. However, Duval Audubon Society is looking for volunteers from the neighboorhood to help build/maintain the park and help facilitate walk-through access on weekends. Please contact Pete Johnson at (904) 536-4806 for further details.

The Park and Demonstration Garden is currently in planning and development phase by Duval Audubon Society with support from the University of Florida IFAS Clay County Extension -- Master Gardener Program Staff (internet address: http://hort.ufl.edu/mg/).
