Julie Byrne, who serves on the county's Environmentally Sensitive Lands Oversight Committee, criticized the idea that stormwa- ter ponds would count as preserved space. "These things are not lakes," she said. While praising the neighborhood of Palmer Ranch for its attractive stormwater ponds, she added that there is no guarantee other developers will follow suit. "It may turn out that these developers are per- fectly fine," Byrne tells The Sarasota News Leader, "but my guess is they're not going to be as careful as Palmer Ranch was." A section of the changes in the 2050 Plan addresses green space in developments. Image courtesy Sarasota County Sarasota News Leader March 21, 2014 Page 46
