KEYSTONE HEIGHTS—Residents near the Clay-Putnam County line on State Road 100 say they are concerned about a proposed 20-acre RV park inside Putnam County.
According to a planned urban development application filed with the county, Bristol Oaks will consist of family-friendly RV sites, glamping sites, a dog park, a butterfly garden, venue space, and a camp store. The site will have direct access to the Palatka-to-Lake Butler State Trail, and the butterfly garden will be developed with the assistance of the University of Florida’s Institute for Food and Agricultural Sciences. Wells will obtain water, and septic tanks will dispose of wastewater.
Susan Stanley said that since the project lies in Putnam County, she is concerned her Clay County neighbors will have little influence over officials who will decide the project’s fate. She added that many of her neighbors were also not informed of public hearings about the park because the county only notified property owners by letter within 300 feet of the proposed project.
The first public hearing on the project will be before the Putnam County Planning and Development Commission on Wednesday, Sept. 13, at 4 p.m. Stanley said Clay County residents may address the commission about the park.
