More than 60 Matanzas Woods residents met Monday, Oct. 17, at the Flagler County Public Library, regarding the multifamily Sawgrass Villas building project being considered in the L-section.

The new group will meet monthly, beginning 6 p.m. Nov. 28, at the library.

Sawgrass Villas is a proposed 50-unit, multi-family housing development between Leidel and Lee drives. Putnam State Bank owns the land and is entertaining offers from companies to buy the land for future development.

The group is planning to appeal the rezoning of the area, which would bring the matter to the City Council at a future meeting, according to one of the group’s organizers, Linda Spilling-Markey.

At the Oct. 17 library meeting, Nina and Earl Scott introduced Matanzas Woods Neighborhood News, a website they are planning to launch in 2012. The site, matanzaswoods.webs.com, would include items of concern for Matanzas Woods residents, as well as yard sales and other meetings.
