Both groups want their region s notable rural areas left alone by developers.
In Deltona, it s about 110 acres of land located west of Little Lake, though part of the lake is included in the boundary, and just south of Lake Hutchinson. A developer has plans to put 189 single-family homes on the site. The surrounding area also includes several miles of the River of Lakes Heritage Corridor, which was designated in February as a National Scenic Byway.
On Monday night, Deltona s commission voted 4-3 with commissioners Loren King, Dana McCool and David Sosa dissenting in support of the request to change about 110 acres from county prime agriculture to city residential planned-unit development dubbed Hickory Lakes Preserve.
