BEXLEY SOUTH
MPUD NARRATIVE
Project Description
Bexley South is a 1,733 acre site located north of S.R. 54, east of Suncoast Parkway,
approximately 5 miles south of S.R. 52 and extends east of Ballantrae Blvd to the Bexley South
site. The site is currently vacant pasture and partially used as a cattle ranch. The northern
portion of site is currently regulated by the Bexley Ranch MPUD rezoning No. 6669 and the
southern portion is regulated by the Ashely Glen MPUD rezoning No. 6997. The property is
owned by NNP-Bexley LLC (Newland Communities). The Ashley Glen DRI #261 was rescinded
in 2007. As a result of the concurrent Bexley Ranch Development of Regional Impact (DRI)
#255 rescission application a rezoning to MPUD is required. Table 1 shows the proposed land
uses and density.

The site is currently designated Residential (RES) -3 and ROR and is located within the
County’s Urban Service Area. The site is also within a planned area of concentrated growth as
identified by the County’s Comprehensive Plan. The site is subject to a concurrent
Comprehensive Plan Amendment application to redesignate the site to Planned Development
(PD) in an effort to create a unified development including the Ashley Glen, Wells Fargo (aka
Suncoast Commercial) and the Bexley North properties.
The site’s proximity to State Road 54, future Tower Road extension and the Suncoast Parkway
together with the abundance of natural landscape features make it ideal for the proposed
development. The proposed single and multi-family uses, on-site amenities, cycling and
walking trails, together with office, commercial and retail uses will boast high quality urban
design that will make Bexley a very sought after community to live, work and play in.
Soils
The soils information below is based on a geotechnical report completed by Mortensen
Engineering Inc. (MEI), dated 5/7/03 for the Bexley DRI #255 as well as recent preliminary testing
for the Ashley Glen and Wells Fargo sites. As a result, MEI notes the following:

Fine sands to silty fine sands, with typically 15% fines or less (passing the No. 200
sieve), those most suitable for reuse as structural fill material after excavation and
drying, appear present to varying depths, but typically to at least 10 feet deep, in some
locations 25 to 30 feet deep; and at some locations to less than 10 feet deep.

Silty to slightly clayey fine sands, with typically 15% to 25% fines, which are also
suitable for reuse as structural fill material after excavation and drying (and mixing),
typically are periodically present beneath the upper fine sands and above the lower
more clayey materials.

The clayey semi-confining unit over the subject sites (the deeper clayey sands and
clays) appears extremely variable in depth, integrity and thickness. The clayey semiconfining unit was very thin (less than 2 feet thick) to absent at about 50% of our test
boring locations.

The depth to the uppermost weathered limestone formation was also extremely
variable over the subject sites. Weathered limestone was typically encountered 15 to 40
feet deep; yet as shallow as 7 to 15 feet deep and over 40 feet deep at some locations.

Minor evidence of active overburden soil erosion/ravelling related to limestone
solutioning/sinkhole related process, above the limestone surface, was also noted at
some of the other deep test boring locations.

No significant buried deleterious (organic/debris) materials were noted within the upper
10 feet of the soil profile at our test boring locations; however, some existing
heterogeneous/variable surface fills (and possible surface fills) were noted at several of
the test boring locations; shallow surface soil variations should be anticipated.

No significant shallow active/plastic clays were noted within the upper 7 feet of the soil
profile at a majority of the test boring locations.

The shallow groundwater level, at the time of our field work, typically varied from about
0 to 3 feet (+/-) below the ground surface, depending upon the location on-site, ground
elevation, and proximity to wetland areas (and standing surface water areas). It must
be noted that significant fluctuations in future shallow groundwater levels on-site will
occur due to variations in rainfall, control levels of new water features constructed onsite, perched groundwater within fills, proximity to wetlands, drawdown influences of the
adjacent wellfield, and other factors. During normal wet seasons, anticipate average
predevelopment shallow groundwater levels typically 0.5 to 2 feet (+/-) below existing
site grades over a majority of the upland portions of the site. During normal dry
seasons, anticipate shallow groundwater levels several feet below these levels,
depending upon the area on-site.
Wildlife Habitat
The Bexley property has been thoroughly surveyed for wildlife as a part of the previously
approved Bexley Ranch DRI #255. More specifically, over 320 hours of field time were
dedicated to the initial investigations conducted between November 2002 and July 2003. The
wildlife survey methods employed in this study were approved during the Bexley Ranch DRI
Pre-application Conference and consisted of meandering pedestrian and vehicular transects
through the various habitats and vegetation associations. During site inspections, the ecologists
periodically stopped, looked for wildlife and listened for wildlife vocalizations. Muddy and sandy
areas, game trails, and dirt roads were examined for tracks and scat. Survey teams normally
consisted of one to two ecologists. Overall, more than 115 miles of upland wildlife transects
were conducted through all on-site habitats. In addition, species specific sampling including
helicopter surveys for nesting sandhill cranes, small mammal trapping for Florida mouse (200
trap nights), surveys for red-cockaded woodpeckers in older stands of pines, and a 15 percent
survey gopher tortoise survey were also completed with this effort.
In support of environmental permitting for both the Southwest Florida Water Management
District and the US Army Corps of Engineers, additional wildlife surveys consisting of pedestrian
and vehicular surveys were performed by Cardno ENTRIX staff on July 20, 25, 26, 27 and
August 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, and 28, 2006 and March 20, 2007. These wildlife surveys were conducted
in general accordance with the FFWCC 1988 Wildlife Survey Methodology Guidelines and were
consistent with the 2003 survey efforts.
On February 28 and March 3, 2014, Cardno ENTRIX staff completed a review of Bexley South
MPUD and Bexley North MPUD sites to reconfirm the previous wildlife reviews. These surveys
consisted of a mix of pedestrian and vehicular transects throughout the property. There were
no new listed species documented on the property during this survey event.
Observations of listed species documented on the property is presented in Table 1 and a list of
all observed wildlife species is presented in Table 2.

Cultural Resources
A cultural resource survey was completed by Panamerican Consultants, Inc. as part of the
Bexley Ranch DRI #255. The survey was reviewed by the Florida State Division of Historical
Resources (DHR) as per their letter written on August 28, 2003 (Appendix A). The State Historic
Preservation Officer determined that ten previously unrecorded archaeological sites and five
historic structures did not meet the minimum qualifications for inclusion on the Florida Master
Site Files or for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The DHR deemed the survey
report complete and sufficient in accordance with Chapter 1A-46, Florida Administrative Code
with no further action required.
Cardno ENTRIX completed a desktop review of known cultural resources within and near the
Wells Fargo parcel. The findings of their review are provided in a letter dated February 25th,
2014 (Appendix B). In summary, the Wells Fargo parcel has only been partially surveyed but 16
cultural resource surveys were previously conducted within one mile of the parcel; the results of
which did not determine any known cultural resources to be significant. Based on their review,
Cardno ENTRIX concluded that if any cultural resources were found within the Wells Fargo
parcel they would be deemed not significant.
Cardno ENTRIX completed a desktop review of known cultural resources within and near the
Ashley Glen parcel. The findings of their review are provided in a letter dated February 25th,
2014 (Appendix C). In summary, of the 16 cultural resource surveys previously conducted in or
within one mile of the Ashley Glen parcel, only one archeological resource was recorded within
the Ashley Glen parcel in 2000. A subsequent survey in 2005 could not relocate the single
artifact find. The known cultural resources found near the Ashley Glen parcel were deemed to
be not significant. Cardno ENTRIX concluded that if any cultural resources were found within
the Ashley Glen parcel they would be deemed not significant.

Wells Fargo Parcel, Pasco County, FL – Historical Review
Dear Mr. Panaseny,
Cardno ENTRIX completed a desktop review of known cultural resources within and near the
Wells Fargo parcel in Pasco County, Florida, on behalf of Newland Communities, NNP-Bexley
LLC, and NASH Financing LLC. This included a search of the current Florida Master Site File
(FMSF) in GIS format for archaeological and historic resources recorded within and near the
proposed project area. No cultural resources have been previously recorded within the parcel,
but this is possibly due to the fact that only a small portion of the parcel has been the subject of a
cultural resource survey. Several resources have been recorded within 1 mile of the project area
(see attachment), including six archaeological sites (Table 1), two historic linear resources
(Table 2), one historic structure (Table 3); and sixteen cultural resource surveys have been
completed within one mile of the Wells Fargo parcel (Table 4).

The archaeological sites (see Table 1) were mostly small, low-density prehistoric or historic period artifact scatters
that the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) has determined to be ineligible for the National Register of
Historic Places (NRHP). These sites are located on landforms similar to those characterizing the Wells Fargo
parcel. The Wells Fargo parcel, with oak habitat on areas of relatively higher elevation with nearby wetlands, would
appear to have a similar probability of site location.
One previously recorded archaeological site (8PA1455, Old Railroad Bed) is also recorded as a linear resource.
8PA1455 represents the remnants of a late nineteenth-early twentieth century railroad, but it no longer retains
sufficient original materials for the SHPO to consider it to be significant. To the immediate south of the Wells Fargo
parcel, State Road 54 has been recorded as a linear resource, a highway over 50 years in age; 8PA2472 (State
Road 52) is also ineligible for the NRHP.

The search of the FMSF indicated that 16 cultural resource surveys have been previously conducted within 1 mile
of the Wells Fargo parcel (Table 3); two of these surveys included some of the eastern portion of the Wells Fargo
parcel. Survey 5058 was a cultural resource assessment survey of 12 pond locations along SR 54; Pond #9
included the easternmost portion of the Wells Fargo parcel. No cultural resources were recorded within Pond #9.
Survey 7239 was a cultural resource assessment survey of a 90-acre parcel to the immediate east of the Wells
Fargo parcel; no cultural resources were recorded within the Wells Fargo parcel. Survey 7239 did record the only
previously recorded historic structure within one mile of the Wells Fargo parcel (Table 4). 8PA1404 (Fuentes
House) at 16915 SR 54 was recommended to be ineligible for the NRHP, but has not been evaluated by the SHPO.
There are currently no standing structures on the Wells Fargo parcel.

The Wells Fargo parcel has only been partially surveyed and cultural resources have been reported within similar
settings nearby. This being said, the known cultural resources near the parcel are not significant. I would expect
similar findings on the Wells Fargo parcel.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments regarding the above desktop assessment. Thank you
for the opportunity to help you with this parcel.

Cardno ENTRIX completed a desktop review of known cultural resources within and near the
Ashley Glen parcel in Pasco County, Florida, on behalf of Newland Communities, NNP-Bexley
LLC, and NASH Financing LLC. This included a search of the current Florida Master Site File
(FMSF) in GIS format for archaeological and historic resources recorded within and near the
proposed project area.
The search of the FMSF indicated that 16 cultural resource surveys have been previously
conducted in or within one mile of the Ashley Glen parcel (see attachment; Table 1). Six of these
surveys (4889, 6800, 5840, 7239, 9274, and 12168) include at least a portion of the Ashley Glen
parcel. Survey 6800, a cultural resource assessment survey of the proposed Buccaneer Gas
Pipeline conducted in 2000, recorded the only archaeological resource known to be within the
Ashley Glen parcel. Archaeological site 8PA1130 was a single artifact find not relocated during
a subsequent survey of the Ashley Glen subdivision (Survey 12168) conducted in 2005.
Several resources have been recorded within one mile of the project area (see attachment),
including ten archaeological sites (Table 2), two historic linear resources (Table 3), and one
historic structure (Table 4). The archaeological sites were mostly small, low-density prehistoric
or historic period artifact scatters that the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) has
determined to be ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). These sites are
located on landforms similar to those characterizing the Ashley Glen parcel. The Ashley Glen
parcel would appear to have a similar probability of site location.
One previously recorded archaeological site (8PA1455, Old Railroad Bed) is also recorded as a
linear resource. 8PA1455 represents the remnants of a late nineteenth-early twentieth century
railroad, but it no longer retains sufficient original materials for the SHPO to consider it to be
significant. 8PA1455 (Old Railroad Bed) borders the northern edge of the Ashley Glen parcel. To
the south of the Ashley Glen parcel, State Road 54 has been recorded as a linear resource, a
highway over 50 years in age; 8PA2472 (State Road 54) is also ineligible for the NRHP. A single
structure has been recorded within one mile of the Ashley Glen parcel; 8PA1404 (Fuentes
House) at 16915 SR 54 was recommended to be ineligible for the NRHP, but has not been
evaluated by the SHPO. There are currently no standing structures on the Ashley Glen parcel.

The Ashley Glen parcel has been nearly completely surveyed, and has had six previous cultural resource surveys within
the project boundaries with only a single artifact found. The known cultural resources near the parcel are not
significant, and I would expect similar findings on the Ashley Glen parcel.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments regarding the above desktop assessment. Thank you
for the opportunity to help you with this parcel.
Sincerely,
Paul L. Jones, RPA
