The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has posted an application for a project site for Harbor Village and Maranda Homes. The Army Corps link is HERE. Some notes from their application.
The proposed activity would affect aquatic resources associated with the Myakka River. The project site is centrally located at 14705 Cattle Dock Point Road SW, in sections 3,4,8,9,10 Township 41 South, Range 21 East; at latitude 26.937859° and longitude -82.210270°; in Port Charlotte, Charlotte County, Florida.

The applicant is requesting a Department of the Army (DA) permit to construct the Harbor Village mixed-use residential development and public marina. The proposed project involves the discharge of fill material for the construction of residential lots, access roads, and associated infrastructure.
Project impacts include: The permanent fill of 50.51 acres of wetlands and 9.99 acres of surface waters and canals. As part of the development, a new marina basin will be excavated from uplands, creating a direct connection to the adjacent Butterford Waterway.
The applicant has provided the following information to explain how impacts to waters of the United States associated with the proposed activity are to be avoided and minimized:
To compensate for unavoidable permanent impacts to 35.97 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, the applicant proposes to conduct on-site, permittee-responsible mitigation within a 114.48-acre conservation area.
The mitigation plan includes:
Based on a Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) analysis, the proposed impacts will result in a functional loss of 12.27 units, while the proposed mitigation is projected to generate a functional gain of 17.41 units. The Corps will complete a public interest review and a full evaluation of the mitigation plan, and the final determination of the type and amount of compensatory mitigation necessary will be made in accordance with 33 CFR § 332.
