Under contract-accepting backup offers. Lot in North Port, FL. Close to schools, highways and other amenities. A enviornmental assessment was completed which determined one potential Gopher Tortoise on property, seller will pay for Gopher Tortoise relocation. Permitting and relocation may not be done prior to or as a condition of sale. Obtaining the FWC permit requires submission of a site plan clearly demonstrating that the burrows cannot be avoided by the project and the permit may not be carried out until there is an active building permit application on file with the county. The two permits are matched up and only then may relocation proceed. Although the city does do a site visit and will withhold the building permit until any protected species have been addressed, that visit does not count as the FWC required survey. A site visit will be conducted to identify all burrows – not only those currently active, but others that may be inactive or abandoned. All burrows are protected, whether they appear recently active or not. All burrows that cannot be avoided will be included in the permitting process. The potential number of tortoises on the permit will be based on the number of burrows, but the “basic” permit can include up to ten burrows. Contact seller for more details.
