OVIEDO, Fla. \u2013 City leaders in Oviedo have voted to prevent future development on the Twin Rivers Golf Course property, approving an official declaration aimed at preserving the land as green space.<\/p>\n
The Oviedo City Council passed a declaration of restrictive covenants for the city-owned Twin Rivers Golf Course during a meeting Monday night. The decision formalizes the city\u2019s longstanding commitment to keep the property free from development.<\/p>\n
The city purchased the 310-acre site in 2017. According to Mayor Megan Sladek, leaders at the time assured residents the land would not be developed in the future.<\/p>\n
Under the newly approved conservation rules, residential, rental and vacation properties will be prohibited on the site.<\/p>\n
Sladek said preserving the green space is also critical for environmental reasons, noting the property plays a key role in absorbing stormwater and helping prevent flooding in nearby neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
In addition to the vote on the restrictive covenant, city officials also approved an additional $10,000 to fund a third-party audit into the golf course\u2019s operations. The decision follows concerns about profit margins.<\/p>\n
The added funding brings the total cost of the audit to $30,000.<\/p>\n
