We all tend to think of development on the Placencia Peninsula's (what I will call) "hard land." Or the land which existed before anyone thought to do significant dredging and "land building." This aerial photograph and labels of the various projects very usefully shows the lagoon developments that not many of us have known about... or at least paid much attention to...
From Peninsula Citizens for Sustainable Development website...
As shown above, Las Brisas is located in the Placencia Lagoon near the southern end of Placencia Village.
The development will also include 2 "small" boating canals on the western side of the property to be created, a boat dock for 5 boats, public open space and possibly a commercial lot. Water will be obtained from the Placencia Village water supply and garbage will be deposited into the Placencia Village solid waste dump. Las Brisas is a residential subdivision of either 17 or 19 lots (theEnvironmental Compliance Plan (ECP) for Las Brisas is contradictory on the number of lots) on 3.913 acres of land to be created by dredging and filling. The developer for Las Brisas is Las Brisas Placencia, Limited. John Stothart signed the Las Brisas ECP as principal of Las Brisas on 1 April 2011.
The Department of the Environment did not require the developer to do an Environmental Impact Assessment for the development.
The Las Brisas ECP includes the following authorizations and obligations:
