For more than 20 years, developer Victor Posner had the right to develop a 239-acre site. Posner wanted to change the way the houses would be built; instead of sprawling on two-acre tracts, he wanted to cluster them on lots of one-third of an acre. The change required a rezoning, which was denied by the City Commission due to school crowding. Posner sued. In January, the City and developer Ron Bergeron negotiated a settlement. Now, Posner will get his development, and the City will have a road to speed the development of "School P", to serve both Posner's development and the nearby 656-home community planned by Bergeron.
