The growth and services companion to our Ibis Landing community guide: every county case inside one mile with its number and status date, the road projects by what Lee County says it is spending, and the utility providers of record. Sell or buy with McGreevy and Comisar.
Updated September 2026 · Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, Domain Realty
Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar of Domain Realty represent sellers and buyers at Ibis Landing Golf & Country Club in Lehigh Acres, Lee County, Florida. This page answers the question every buyer asks and almost nobody answers with records: what is approved, applied for or under construction within one mile, what the county says it is spending on the roads, and who actually provides the water, sewer, power, trash and internet at this address. It is the growth and services companion to our complete Ibis Landing community guide.

If you are searching for the best realtor for Ibis Landing, whether you are ready to sell your Ibis Landing home or buy your next one, McGreevy and Comisar is the team that delivers. We lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, with over $2.5 billion sold as a team and $900 million in personal sales between Jesse and Marc. What gets built next door is the risk a buyer cannot price and a seller cannot dodge, so we answer it from county records.
The Ibis Landing market over the last 12 months, pulled from the Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix) on 17 September 2026 and filtered to this development: 57 closed sales, spanning $150,000 to $515,000, with a community-wide median time to contract of 39 days. Those 57 sales are four different products and they do not share a median, so the figures are reported by product type in our complete Ibis Landing community guide rather than blended into one number. Seventeen homes were listed for sale here on the same date, at a median asking price of $399,000.
Honors and recognition:
A seller who can hand a buyer the case numbers, the status dates and the road schedule answers the objection before it becomes a price reduction. In the last 12 months we tracked 57 closed sales in this community, and we represented sellers and buyers across Lehigh Acres and the wider Lee County market.

Three undecided applications sit within one mile of the Ibis Landing clubhouse as of 17 September 2026: DOS2025-00034 DeLaCruz Shopping Center at 0.72 miles, REZ2025-00014 S Loop Boulevard at 0.83 miles, and DOS2026-00078 Alabama Road North Restaurant at 0.99 miles. None is approved and none is under construction.
This matters, because it is the reason this section is right where a quick search is wrong.
Lee County’s mapping service over-returns badly on its zoning-case layer when queried by distance: a request for a 1,609-metre buffer returned 382 attribute records whose true polygon distances ranged out to 5.2 kilometres. Every case polygon’s geometry was therefore pulled individually and the true minimum distance from the community anchor computed with a local equirectangular projection centred on the site. Every distance in this section is a computed polygon-edge distance, not a buffer result (method executed 17 September 2026).
The anchor is 26.59091 N, −81.65525 W, WGS84, STRAP 064527L4140D20000, Section 06, Township 45 South, Range 27 East, Lee County, in Lee County Planning Community 17, Lehigh Acres (Lee County NG911 address points and Lee County parcels, read 17 September 2026).
On that method, the headline counts:
Record type | Within 1.00 mi | Within 2.00 mi | Within 3.00 mi |

Lee County zoning cases, all vintages 1974–2026 | 42 | 219 | 359 |
Lee County development orders, all vintages | 106 | 464 | 754 |
Lee County planned developments | 11 | 55 | 84 |
This is the most important civic fact on this page, and almost nobody knows it. The governing entitlement for Ibis Landing Golf & Country Club, Lehigh Acres, Lee County, Florida was re-adopted in the summer of 2026.

Case | ADD2026-00009, “Ibis Landing”, 298.85 acres, Zoning department, case type ADD |
Decision date | 9 June 2026 |
Status | “Approved – To Mapping” |
The County’s own case note, verbatim | “Approves administrative amendment to revise MCP, property development regulations, conceptual open space exhibit, open space table, protected species survey and indigenous preserve and restoration management plan, conditions, and deviations. Codifies and supersedes ADD2024-00046.” |
So: the master concept plan, the open-space table, the protected-species survey, the indigenous-preserve management plan, the property development regulations, the conditions and the deviations for Ibis Landing were all re-written and re-adopted on 9 June 2026. A buyer reading an older marketing site plan, an older association document or the 2024 amendment is reading a superseded plan. The operative approval is ADD2026-00009.
And here is the gap, disclosed at the point of use. The ADD2026-00009 resolution document is not yet published in Lee County’s public document repository, the County’s results portal returned no record for it as of 17 September 2026. The contents of the revised conditions, deviations, open-space table and property development regulations are therefore not yet publicly readable. Nothing on this page characterises what ADD2026-00009 changed beyond the County’s own one-sentence case note quoted above. Where the older approval, ADD2024-00046, is cited elsewhere on this page, read it with that supersession in mind.

And the development orders on the footprint, from the Lee County development orders layer read the same day:
Label | Project | Status | Status date | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
DOS2023-00161 | Ibis Landing, Phase 2 | Issued | 9 June 2026 | “New Development Order for entire project, only phases 2 & 3 are being modified” |
LDO2024-00356 | Ibis Landing – Beth Stacey Improvements | Issued | 5 March 2026 | “Beth Stacey R/W improvements”, confirmed by parcel overlay to touch the Ibis Landing right-of-way parcel 064527L414FD60000, 7.25 acres, owner Aquabella Development Group LLC |
LDO2023-00215 | Ibis Landing – Model Home Parking Lot | Issued | 2 August 2023 | Parking lot on Lot 3, Block 2, serving the model-home sales office |
DOS2006-00122 | Copperhead Residential Development | Issued | 9 September 2025 | Earlier-phase order, still live |

LDO2011-00349 | Copperhead Golf Club | Closed – Finaled | – | – |
Note the date coincidence, because it tells you how the County moved: DOS2023-00161 was issued on 9 June 2026, the same day ADD2026-00009 was decided. The zoning amendment and the construction order for Phases 2 and 3 moved together.
Distance | Case | What is proposed | Status as of 17 September 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
0.72 mi | DOS2025-00034, DeLaCruz Shopping Center | “Construction of 6 office-retail buildings, parking, drainage, landscaping, and utilities. CMU structures with bar joist roof system, type V-B, unprotected, sprinkled.” Parcel overlay confirms the site is STRAP 31442700000010060, 8.37 acres, zoned C-2, classified vacant, at 128 Beth Stacey Blvd, owner Holding Assets LLC | Waiting on Applicant, status dated 2 December 2025 |
0.83 mi | REZ2025-00014, S Loop Blvd | “Rezone 11.27± acres from RM-2 to C-2.” Parcel overlay confirms STRAP 31442705000110000, 11.27 acres, currently RM-2, classified vacant residential, at 1171 S Loop Blvd, owner Greek Foods International Inc, purchased 5 July 2022 for $750,000 | Pending Hearing Examiner hearing |
0.99 mi | DOS2026-00078, Alabama Rd N Restaurant | “1000 sf 1-storey office/restaurant building with site improvements.” A prior application for the same site, DOS2024-00180, was Closed–Abandoned on 28 April 2026 and re-filed | Waiting on Applicant, status dated 29 July 2026 |
These are proposals. None of them is approved. None of them is under construction. And “Waiting on Applicant” in Lee County means the County has returned comments and is waiting on the applicant to respond, a state applications can sit in for a long time, or die in, exactly as DOS2024-00180 did.
The Beth Stacey point is the one that matters most to a resident. The DeLaCruz site at 128 Beth Stacey Boulevard is on the same road Ibis Landing fronts, 0.72 miles from the clubhouse. That parcel was already rezoned from RM-2 to C-2 in 2020 by Resolution Z-20-026, case REZ2019-00021, decided 4 November 2020, 8.4 acres, so the commercial entitlement already exists; what is pending is only the site plan. County records classify Beth Stacey Boulevard as a minor arterial, which is the functional class of the road at this community’s front door (ADD2021-00203 case note).
Distance | Case | What was approved | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
0.00 mi | ADD2026-00009, Ibis Landing | Master concept plan, property development regulations, open-space exhibit and table, protected-species survey, indigenous preserve and restoration management plan, conditions and deviations, all revised | 9 June 2026, Approved–To Mapping |
0.56 mi | ADD2024-00027, Beth Stacey Storage Facility, Building 2 | Deviation from Land Development Code section 10-261, dumpster enclosure footprint, for a second building at the storage facility | Approved–To Mapping |
0.98 mi | ADD2024-00067, China Star | Alcoholic-beverage zoning approval | Approved–To Mapping |
The storage facility’s build history, stated plainly: DOS2022-00064, “approval of a new commercial development in Lehigh Acres,” reached Closed–Finaled on 12 November 2025; that is, built, and ADD2024-00027 is an approved deviation for Building 2, a further phase. An earlier deviation request, ADD2022-00171, on the minimum lane width of Woodward Court, was withdrawn. Site access onto Beth Stacey Boulevard was approved in 2021 by ADD2021-00203, a deviation from Land Development Code section 10-285(1)(a) permitting a connection to Beth Stacey Boulevard, “a minor arterial roadway.”

Just value on the roll | $131,600 |
Its development order | DOS2010-00017, “OAK POINTE”, status Closed–VACATED |
In plain language: the commercial-planned-development zoning is still on the land; the construction approval was vacated; nothing was built. A 13-acre planned-development parcel a third of a mile from the Ibis Landing clubhouse sits entitled, un-built, and in single private ownership since 2000.

There is no pending application on this parcel as of 17 September 2026, no zoning case and no development order in the Lee County layers falls on that STRAP.
Reading the verified zoning, the future land use category and the ownership history together: it is RM-2 land in a Central Urban future land use category, held by the same owner for twenty-nine years. That combination is the most consequential “what could change” fact within half a mile of this community, and a buyer cannot find it without pulling the parcel roll. It is published here as what it is, an entitlement and an ownership history, and never as a prediction that anything will be built.

0.99 mi | DOS2026-00078 | Alabama Rd N Restaurant | Waiting on Applicant | 29 July 2026 |
This is the most concrete forward signal in the section.
LDO2024-00529, “Milwaukee Blvd Water Main Extension,” was issued 12 August 2025. Its description: “Single phase construction of existing potable water mains extensions along Milwaukee Blvd ROW in Lehigh Acres, between 1/4 mile south of the intersection of Leather Wood Loop and the intersection at Preston St, in conformance with sufficient plans.”
A parcel overlay confirms that order touches the Ibis Landing right-of-way parcel 064527L414FD60000, owned by Aquabella Development Group LLC, and then runs along Milwaukee Boulevard past vacant RS-1 lots toward Alabama Road South. Leatherwood Loop is an internal Ibis Landing street; it appears in the community’s own parcel addresses, for instance 9130 and 9057 Leatherwood Loop, both zoned MPD and both inside the footprint.
The inference, labelled as one: potable water is being extended outward from this community’s edge along Milwaukee Boulevard into an area of vacant quarter-acre RS-1 lots, and utility extension into un-served platted lots is the classic precondition for those lots filling in.
Savanna Lakes is the biggest approved residential increase nearby:

Distance to the MPD boundary | 1.44 mi |
MPD size | 821.67 acres; the planned-development layer carries 824.25 acres for the parent MPD |
What was approved | Amend the Savanna Lakes MPD, Resolution Z-99-049 as amended, to increase total residential units from 1,477 to 2,300, a net increase of 823 units, reconfigure the master concept plan, reduce commercial floor area to 30,000 square feet, eliminate hotel uses, amend the property development regulations table, add two deviations and update conditions. The amendment covered 371.62± acres of the MPD |
Related and earlier: ADD2019-00207, approved 5 March 2021, reconfigured Savanna Lakes’ residential tracts, added an amenity tract and reduced access points from three to two; ADD2022-00068 allowed lots to be developed in Tracts A, H and I on the underlying plat. Development orders DOS2022-00166, issued, status dated 22 August 2025, and LDO2022-00227, “Savanna Lakes North,” issued 12 June 2025, show the project in active construction 1.56 miles away.
That is the largest single approved unit increase within three miles of Ibis Landing, and it was decided ten months before this page’s research date.

Combined: 14 pending applications.
That last one carries a caveat. LDO2026-00512, Waiting on Applicant as of 1 September 2026, falls on parcel 094527L1100001010, 402 Radiant Sun Lane, zoned RPD, owner D R Horton Inc, a second national builder active within two miles. But “Avalon Village” could not be found as a case name in the Lee County zoning-case or planned-development layers, so no unit count is asserted for it here. The parcel and the owner are verified; the project’s entitlement name is an open gap.

The same page carries the rest of the County’s Lehigh spending: transit, $9,523,439; parks and recreation, $26,607,934, including Lehigh Acres Middle School facility renovations at $16.69 million, Veterans Park Recreation Center at $2.82 million and the community pool at $1.35 million; natural resources, $19,557,112, including Frank Mann Preserve at $15,500,000 under a state environmental grant and surface-water management at $1,973,367; and library, $15,255,029.64, including a $1.35 million land reserve for future expansion of the East County Regional Library. Lehigh-area property tax revenue as published: General Fund $34,263,027 at 3.7623 mills; municipal services taxing unit $7,648,005 at 0.8398 mills; Library $3,841,139 at 0.4218 mills; All Hazards $631,111 at 0.0693 mills.
For the longer horizon, Lee County’s own “Lehigh Acres Fact Sheet” of May 2024 states that Lehigh Acres represents “approximately 35.65% of Lee County’s unincorporated population,” that the County has budgeted $494,312,801.98 for Lehigh Acres transportation improvements over the next 20 years having already invested over $85 million in recent projects, and that there are 38 active developments in Lehigh Acres: 2.6 million square feet of commercial, 438,400 square feet of industrial and 8,012 residential units, plus four major planned projects totalling over 2,200 residential units.
The County’s transportation improvement programming is published through the Lee County Metropolitan Planning Organization’s transportation improvement program.
Sunshine Boulevard widening is the project that reaches this community’s own road.
Its scope, as reported: widening Sunshine Boulevard from two lanes to four, from State Road 82 south to 23rd Street SW, with sidewalks and bike lanes, described as phase 3 of the larger Alico Road extension programme and intended to connect with the planned Alico Road extension (East Lee News, “Transportation Projects for Lehigh Acres,” 7 October 2024, which stated construction would begin in early 2026). The County’s own budget page confirms the line item: “Sunshine Blvd Right-of-Way, $8,912,550, Development.”
The most recent confirmable status: on or about 21 April 2026, Lee County commissioners approved a land purchase off State Road 82 for the new connection between Sunshine Boulevard and the future Alico Road extension. Phase 3 comprises a new intersection at Sunshine and State Road 82 plus the two-to-four-lane widening with sidewalks and bike lanes, and construction is expected to reach the area “in the next few years” (reported, WINK News, 21 April 2026).
Why it belongs in a page about this address: 23rd Street SW is 0.21 miles, 334 metres, from the Ibis Landing clubhouse, on the same east-west corridor as Beth Stacey Boulevard at the community’s frontage. The published southern terminus of the Sunshine Boulevard widening is therefore effectively at the top of this community’s road. That is an inference from the measured 334-metre centreline distance read against the reported project limits. No Lee County transportation project page or segment map confirming the exact terminus point was obtained, so the limit is reported, not surveyed.
And the status honesty that belongs with it: as of 17 September 2026 this is right-of-way acquisition and design. The County’s own status word for the Sunshine Boulevard line item is “Development.” It is not under construction on the segment nearest Ibis Landing, and no Lee County notice to proceed or construction start date was found.
The Alico Road Extension is the parent programme. Lee County lists it among its active transportation projects with a dedicated project site at alicoroadextension.com and on the Lee County transportation projects page. From the project site itself: the limits run Green Meadow Road to State Road 82 / Sunshine Boulevard; there are three phases, $34.9 million, with planned completion by 2029; and Phase 3 widens Sunshine Boulevard to four lanes from State Road 82 to 23rd Street SW, with drainage improvements and wildlife crossings. In May 2025 the Board of County Commissioners approved revised phasing that “accelerates Phase 2, connecting Alico Road to SR 82/Sunshine Boulevard sooner,” shortening the overall timeline by roughly nine months and producing an estimated $2 million in cost savings. In April 2026 the County approved purchasing land off State Road 82 for the Sunshine Boulevard connection (reported, WINK News, 21 April 2026). Lee County’s Lehigh Acres budget page carries the line “Alico Road Connector Design, $13,820,793, Design phase.”
The project’s stated purpose is an east-west route relieving Daniels Parkway and Colonial Boulevard, with Lee County transportation director Robert Price quoted as saying the project “has potential to revolutionize the traffic flow from Southeast Lee County and Lehigh Acres” (reported). No completion date beyond the project site’s own “$34.9 million, three phases, planned completion by 2029” is published on the project site, and none is stated here.
The relevance to this specific address is direct. Phase 3’s limit, 23rd Street SW, is the very road this property uses to reach Daniels Parkway, the airport and I-75. This is the project most likely to change this address’s westbound drive. The limits are verified from the project site; the relevance is an inference from the computed route set in the drive-times section above.

None of those last three is within one mile of Ibis Landing; the nearest, the eastern Lehigh repaving programme, is a district-wide resurfacing effort.
Two access-management policies bind anything built nearby, and they are worth knowing because they constrain how new commercial connects to the roads this community uses. Lee County’s comprehensive plan requires that “all connections to SR 82 must be consistent with the FDOT Corridor Access Management Plan for SR 82” (Policy 25.8.2) and that “all connections to Gunnery Road must be consistent with the Gunnery Road Access Management Plan” (Policy 25.8.3).
Wetland and environmental permitting for development in unincorporated Lee County runs through Lee County Environmental Sciences.
This is the context that makes every row above fair, and it is published rather than omitted.
Of the 42 zoning cases inside one mile, 5 were withdrawn and 1 approval was later rescinded and declared null and void; across the same corpus on a wider ring, 5 were denied. A proposal near this community has historically had a real chance of not happening.
Within the verified one-mile set, the withdrawn cases are ADD2022-00171, the Beth Stacey Storage Facility lane width; DCI2008-00034, Sunset Lakes ALF, a proposed rezone from RM-2 to CFPD for a 172-bed assisted living facility at 50 feet, Closed–Withdrawn 9 June 2011 “due to lack of activity”, never built; REZ2006-00010, 39 Alabama Road, RS-1 to CS-1, Closed–Withdrawn 14 November 2007; VAR2006-00057, Caloosa Lakes LLC #2; and VAR2014-00019, a fence variance. The rescinded approval is ADD2017-00038, “Lehigh Assisted Living Fac,” 0.49 acres, 2017, Closed–Approved, but the resolution was rescinded and declared null and void for inability to demonstrate compliance with Land Development Code section 22-1401.
Two older approvals nearby are worth naming because they sit in the record and a buyer will find them. 310 metres away: DCI2004-00028, “Vistanna RPD,” Resolution Z-04-062, 1 November 2004, rezone of 57.53 acres from AG-2 to RPD for a maximum of 296 two-family attached units at a maximum height of 35 feet and three storeys. 1,381 metres away: DCI2005-00036, “Caloosa Lakes MPD,” Resolution Z-05-080, 3 April 2006, which consolidated the Caloosa Lakes RPD under Z-03-045 and the commercial portion of Village on the Park / Central Park under Z-94-065, plus 62.78 acres of AG-2, into a 196.41-acre mixed-use planned development; and DCI2003-00009, “Caloosa Lakes,” Z-03-045, 15 September 2003, which permitted up to 350 single-family plus 100 multi-family units, 450 in total.
Water and wastewater at Ibis Landing are provided by the Florida Governmental Utility Authority, which owns two lift-station parcels inside the community at 20866 and 20209 Copperhead Drive on the Lee County roll read 17 September 2026. Electric is LCEC; solid waste is Waste Pro.
Three independent confirmations, all read 17 September 2026.
One, Lee County GIS. The community anchor falls outside both the Lee County Utilities water treatment plant service area layer and the wastewater treatment plant service area layer. Lee County Utilities does not serve this community.
Two, the Lee County parcel roll. The Florida Governmental Utility Authority owns two utility parcels inside the community: STRAP 064527L114LS10000 at 20866 Copperhead Drive, 0.069 acres, and STRAP 064527L314LS20000 at 20209 Copperhead Drive, 0.074 acres, both classified utilities. These are lift stations on internal streets, designated LS-1 and LS-2 respectively.
Three, a Lee County development order. LDO2025-00604, “FGUA LEP 34 – Lehigh Acres Wastewater Treatment Facility Membrane BioReactor,” was issued 30 October 2025, 1.74 miles from the anchor. Its description: “Elements of construction primarily include installing piping and equipment within existing, abandoned structures at an existing Wastewater Treatment Facility.”
So: water and wastewater service at Ibis Landing Golf & Country Club, Lehigh Acres, Lee County, Florida is provided by the Florida Governmental Utility Authority, not by Lee County Utilities. And that authority has an issued construction order to install a membrane bioreactor at its Lehigh Acres wastewater treatment facility 1.74 miles away, a treatment-capacity and treatment-quality upgrade under way.
Corroborating detail from the authority’s own records and the county roll, read 17 September 2026: it serves the community through the Lehigh Acres Utility System; it accepted a conveyance closeout package for Ibis Landing Phase 1, its developer project number 22-016 LED; it has 322,000 gallons per day allocated to Ibis Landing; and it also provides reuse, non-potable irrigation water to the community.
The providers of record are named in a recorded instrument, which is the strongest possible source for this: the Master Declaration amendment, Exhibit “D,” the Banks Engineering Emergency Preparedness Plan Criteria for Ibis Landing, names water and sewer, Florida Governmental Utility Authority; electric, Lee County Electric Cooperative; telephone, CenturyLink (Lumen); cable, Comcast; solid waste, Waste Pro; fire, Lehigh Acres Fire Control & Rescue District, 44 Homestead Road South, Lehigh Acres.
The Ibis Landing Community Development District balance sheet through 31 July 2026, in the board agenda package for the District’s 17 September 2026 meeting, shows exactly one line under investment in general fixed assets: “Water-Sewer Combination, $4,778,708.”
The District’s own capital improvement programme, from its executed minutes of 21 November 2024, includes water and wastewater facilities to be conveyed to the Florida Governmental Utility Authority for maintenance, plus the master stormwater management system, onsite mitigation, public roadways with Lee County cost-sharing, public irrigation, landscaping, irrigation and hardscape in public rights of way, and the differential cost of undergrounding electric utilities.
The buyer-facing reading is this: the District built the water and sewer plant-in-the-ground and is conveying it to the utility authority. The District’s books carry that infrastructure and nothing else, no clubhouse, no pool, no recreation asset. This is not an amenity district, and it should never be described as one. What a resident pays the District for is infrastructure and debt service, not recreation.
On the undergrounding: what is documented is that the differential cost of undergrounding electric utilities sits inside the District’s capital improvement programme, per the 21 November 2024 executed minutes. That is a real, sourced and under-marketed fact about how this community was built. It is not a guarantee about any specific street, and this page does not state that electric service is undergrounded throughout the community.
LCEC, the Lee County Electric Cooperative, serves this area, as named in the recorded emergency-plan exhibit and confirmed in Lee County records read 17 September 2026.
Two records within two miles show capacity work at the cooperative’s nearest substation: LDO2024-00284, “LCEC Lehigh Substation Expansion,” issued 28 March 2025, and ADD2024-00188, “LCEC Lehigh Substation #5 Improvements,” an entrance-access deviation, Approved–To Mapping. Both sit at 1.60 miles from the community anchor.
Solid waste collection is by Waste Pro, named as the provider of record in the Master Declaration amendment’s Exhibit “D.” The club’s own website hosts a Waste Pro vendor page, behind its members-only login (club site structure, fetched 17 September 2026).
The Lee County Solid Waste Assessment is a separate non-ad-valorem line collected by the Lee County Tax Collector on the annual tax bill, applicable to improved residential parcels. No single figure for it appears on this page, and that is deliberate. Two real 2025 bill figures sit in the record for parcels in and around this community and they differ by roughly an order of magnitude, because they attach to different parcel types with different improvement status. No one number describes this community. Read the line on the actual tax bill for the specific parcel, on the Lee County Tax Collector’s record, before assuming anything about it.
Then there is the recorded rule almost nobody publishes, and it is the kind of thing an owner lives with weekly. Master Declaration section 5.7 requires trash containers of a maximum of 40 gallons, with two handles and tight lids, stored in the garage; to the curb no earlier than the evening before collection; and back by the end of collection day. The same declaration provides that lanais may not be used for drying clothing (recorded Master Declaration, Lee County Instrument 2022000397088, recorded 29 December 2022).
For the multi-family product, curbside collection exists by an approved zoning deviation rather than by default. The planned development granted relief from Land Development Code section 10-261(a) to permit curbside solid-waste pickup for the two-storey multi-family units with garages, approved, with Lee County Solid Waste recommending approval (ADD2024-00046 Exhibit F, Deviation 10, approved 16 August 2024). In the same approved set, Deviation 11 permits vehicle stacking in those driveways, and Deviation 12 permits back-out parking for two-storey multi-family units and guests in three specific locations on the master concept plan. Those conditions and deviations were themselves revised and re-adopted by ADD2026-00009 on 9 June 2026, whose text is not yet published.
Two record classes name different providers, and this page publishes both rather than picking one silently.
Source | What it names | Class and date |
|---|---|---|
Master Declaration amendment, Exhibit “D”, the Banks Engineering Emergency Preparedness Plan Criteria for Ibis Landing | Telephone, CenturyLink (Lumen); cable, Comcast | Recorded instrument, read 17 September 2026 |
Lennar’s own product-type “Services” pages for the Ibis Landing collections | Cable TV and internet, FisionX (Hotwire Communications), 833-354-2289. Those pages disclose only cable TV and internet | Official developer pages, fetched 17 September 2026 |
Lee County and developer-chain records | Video and broadband by Hotwire Communications (Fision X), described as the community’s bulk cable and internet provider for the Terrace and other collections | Read 17 September 2026 |
The recorded emergency-plan exhibit and the builder’s current product pages name different providers. The most likely reconciliation is that the emergency-plan exhibit lists the legacy incumbent carriers for the site, while the builder’s Services pages disclose the community’s contracted bulk provider, but that is an inference, and it is labelled as one.
No single internet or cable provider is asserted here as “the” provider. And no bulk-service terms, internet speeds, inclusion in association dues or contract length are stated, because none is documented anywhere in the record reviewed. A buyer should ask for the service agreement in writing before assuming what is covered.
A covenant worth a sentence, because it surprises people who expect to drill for irrigation water. Master Declaration section 5.12 provides for dual water lines, requires irrigation to be on the non-potable line, and prohibits private wells for any reason, including water-source heat pumps (Instrument 2022000397088).
Two further recorded provisions belong here because they govern who gets water when there is not enough. Section 15.8 provides that in a water shortage the golf course has first priority of irrigation, ahead of Common Areas and Neighborhood Common Areas. And sections 15.2, 15.6 and 15.7 disclose that owners assume the risk of, among other things, effluent used for irrigation and pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers.
Three authorities stack over this community’s water, and each owns a different piece.
Tier one, the Ibis Landing Community Development District. It owns and finances the master stormwater management system and the community’s lakes, funded by a non-ad-valorem special assessment on 959 of 987 planned units, roughly 97%, backed by bonds. Its Series 2025 debt stood at $10,340,000 in general long-term debt at 31 July 2026, with final maturity 15 June 2055; the District issued $10,490,000 of Special Assessment Bonds, Series 2025, on 8 July 2025 for the 2025 Project Area (District minutes of 21 November 2024; District audited financial statements and board agenda package).
Tier two, the Lehigh Acres Municipal Services Improvement District, which owns the regional canal system: 311 miles of canals, 3,260 culvert crossings, 22 bridges, 66 water control structures, 1,298 preserve acres, Harns Marsh at 578 acres, and roughly 70,000 acres covered. It is funded by non-ad-valorem assessments and is prohibited from imposing or collecting ad valorem taxes (Florida House bill analysis h0819z1.LFS; district “About” page). Its published programme of services covers canal maintenance and dredging, culvert replacement, mowing of canal and lake rights-of-way at least three times a year, trash removal, water-resource management, and management of four preserves, Harns Marsh, Greenbrier, Halfway Pond and Meadowbrook Park.
Tier three, Lee County and the South Florida Water Management District, which control downstream conveyance. The Lehigh district states in its own Post-Irma Report that “blockages between our system and the Caloosahatchee River are not under our control.”
The named canals at this footprint, from Lee County GIS hydrography layers queried 17 September 2026, are Copperhead Canal, Yellowtail Canal, Yellowtail Ext, Diamondback Canal, Blackdrum Canal, Racer Canal and Mocasin Canal, plus the numbered district canals 57-6-2, 57-6-3, 57-6-4, 57-7-1, 57-7-2 and 57-7-3.
Lee County’s own conservation records name the Lehigh district as co-manager of West Marsh Preserve and Frank Mann Preserve, and Lee Plan Policy 25.7.1 directs Lee County Parks and Recreation to “work with LAMSID to identify rights-of-way or easements that can be incorporated into the Greenways Master Plan.” Within the community itself, the planned development’s own surface-water management allocation is 29.23 acres and its conservation and wetlands allocation is 37.62 acres (Lee County planned development record DCI959075, accessed 17 September 2026).
One gap must be disclosed here, at the point of use, because it limits what anyone can honestly say. The Lehigh district’s 2026–2030 Strategic Plan document returned a 404 when fetched on 17 September 2026. There is therefore no capital-project list for that district on this record, and no claim is made anywhere on this page about planned canal or weir work near this community.
From the Lee County park locations and county-government parks layers, read 17 September 2026:

5.49 mi | Buckingham Trails Preserve | 572.09 | Preserve | Lee County |
Barbara Farrell Park and Jim Fleming Ecological Park appear above on the strength of the Lee County GIS record, which names the Lehigh district as the ownership and maintenance entity. A third district park, Charlie Mathney Park at about 4.17 miles, rested in this research only on the district’s own parks page, which no longer resolves as of 17 September 2026, so it is named here with that disclosure and nothing is claimed about it.
Two greenway items are moving. LDO2023-00049, “Able Canal Pathway,” was issued 14 September 2023: “This is a 6-mile long pathway project along the Able Canal in Lehigh Acres,” 1.68 miles from the community anchor. Lee County’s Lehigh Acres fact sheet of May 2024 describes the Able Canal Greenway and Pathway as a $9 million-plus project with completion targeted for fiscal 2028-29, which is reported rather than verified from a construction record. And Frank Mann Preserve carries a $15,500,000 state environmental grant under Lee County natural resources spending in Lehigh Acres (Lee County capital projects page, retrieved 17 September 2026).
There is a public dog park 1.22 miles away, Paws 4 Duty, operated by Lee County. That matters precisely because there is no dog park inside Ibis Landing, on any evidence found: not on the club’s site, not on any Lennar page, not in any Lee County permit and not in the planned development’s schedule of uses. Both facts are published together, because one without the other misleads.
Real texture from the zoning, all from ADD2024-00046 Exhibit F as approved 16 August 2024 and subject to the June 2026 re-adoption noted above.
Deviation 8 permits 35-foot rights-of-way on the already-constructed portions of Copperhead Drive and Leatherwood Loop, and provides that “The remaining internal private roads must provide the 40-foot-wide rights-of-way.” So the older Copperhead streets are narrower than the new ones, and the document’s own phrase for the network is “internal private roads.” Beth Stacey Boulevard, by contrast, is the county-dedicated minor arterial running through the project.
Deviation 9 permits T-turnarounds instead of circular cul-de-sac turnarounds at dead-end streets, with a letter of no objection from the Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District. Condition 19 bars residential parking within the right-of-way on the east-west portion of that intersection and in front of lots 9 through 16 of block 9.
The recorded parking rules are stricter than most buyers expect, and they are worth reading before you buy a second vehicle. Master Declaration section 5.15 prohibits overnight street parking, defining “overnight” as 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM, and defines “keep” as present for 12 consecutive hours or overnight, whichever is less. It bars wrecked, junked, partially dismantled, inoperative or abandoned vehicles, and any vehicle without current licence plates. A house trailer, mobile home or motor home may not be kept on the property more than two times in any month. Vehicle repairs other than emergency repairs are prohibited. And: “Any vehicle parked in violation of this Section 5.15 is subject to being towed away at the Owner’s expense without further warning.”
One more allocation of responsibility belongs here, because it costs money: Master Declaration section 5.11 makes the Owner, not the Association, responsible for maintaining the driveway, parking areas and adjacent sidewalks.
The master concept plan is the document that decides what may be built inside this community, and it is the right place to end a page about what is being built around it. Everything below is carried verbatim from the recorded plan and the county’s own adoption record.
A three-sheet Master Concept Plan, “IBIS LANDING”, Lee County, Florida, prepared for Aquabella Development, LLC by Banks Engineering (engineering licence CA 6469, surveying licence LB 6690), project number 3142L, base date 29 February 2024, sheets 1 and 3 revised 10 June 2024, sheet 2 revised 26 July 2024, scale 1 inch to 200 feet.
Sheet 1: eleven numbered Development Areas, 1 through 11, Areas 1 and 6 carrying the commercial option; a Clubhouse / Private Recreational Facilities area near the centre on Beth Stacey Boulevard, which the plan labels a public collector road; a Golf Course Maintenance Area of 1.37 acres on 23rd Street; thirteen lakes, Lake #1 through Lake #13; four wetland preserves labelled Wetlands A, B, C and D; all 18 golf holes numbered. Copperhead Drive and Leatherwood Loop are privately maintained; 23rd Street is a county-maintained minor arterial along the north; Milwaukee Boulevard bounds the south; the Yellow Tail Canal runs along the west. One thing is hatched grey: “EXISTING LOTS (NOT SUBJECT TO THIS AMENDMENT)”, the Copperhead-era lots along Copperhead Drive and Leatherwood Loop, drawn inside the community outline and expressly carved out of the amendment governing it.
2024 open-space table, sheet 3: gross 298.85± acres, less 8.71± acres of Beth Stacey Boulevard, gives 290.14± acres; less single-family lots of 6,500 square feet or more and two-family lots of 3,750 square feet or more (43.90± acres) leaves 246.24± acres as the calculation base. Forty per cent required: 98.50± acres. Provided: golf course areas 107.72± acres, lakes capped at 25 per cent of the requirement 24.60± acres, indigenous area 45.47± acre/credit, 177.79± acre/credit in total. The indigenous requirement computes to 49.25± acres, but only 45.47 acre/credit exists on the property, so the minimum required and provided is 45.47.
Condition 8: 40 per cent open space, of which 50 per cent must be existing indigenous preservation. Condition 7(a): about 3.16 acres of cabbage palm hammock preserved, and cabbage palms with eight feet or more of clear trunk removed for fairways relocated on site. Condition 7(c): gopher tortoise, requiring either a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission incidental-take permit or an on-site relocation plan, under the “Management Plan for Listed Species” prepared by Boylan Environmental, dated 1 October 1998, a Classic Hills-era document still working in a 2024 approval.
Deviation 7 was denied: the applicant sought relief from the tree count by excluding 37.80 acres of wetland preserve and the county said no. The reduced Type F buffer deviation carried since ADD2006-00187 was withdrawn in the 2024 amendment, which the county found produced better buffers than the previously approved plan.
Condition 14 obliges the developer to extend Beth Stacey Boulevard south from 23rd Street to the north terminus of Milwaukee Boulevard, about 3,630 feet, to County standards. The link between the clubhouse parcel and 23rd Street SW must be complete before the first residential certificate of occupancy; the southernmost link before the 495th. Until the full extension is open, retail on Parcels 1 and 6 is capped at 30,000 square feet. Condition 15 requires the new right-of-way to be dedicated to Lee County and accepted by the County for maintenance.
That is a public collector road through the middle of the community, labelled as such on the face of the plan. The Ibis Landing Community Development District describes its roadways as public roadways in its capital improvement programme. The golf course is classified Semi-Private by its operator, Troon, and the club publishes public green fees, $59 and up before noon, $49 and up midday, $39 and up twilight for the 1 May to 30 September 2026 season, with public tee times posting online seven days ahead (club Rates page, revised 30 April 2026). Lee County local development order LDO2024-00356, “Ibis Landing – Beth Stacey Improvements (right-of-way)”, issued 5 March 2026.
Condition 17: traffic monitoring reports within three months of the 248th, 496th and 744th dwelling-unit certificate of occupancy, and a final report at build-out. Deviation 8 lets the already-constructed portions of Copperhead Drive and Leatherwood Loop keep their 35-foot rights-of-way while all remaining internal private roads must be 40 feet. Condition 5: before any local development order, a homeowners’ or residents’ association operating an annual hurricane-awareness programme with Lee County Emergency Management, and a filed emergency hurricane notification and evacuation plan. Condition 6: each model a unique example shown on a preliminary plat filed concurrently with the local development order, and “dry models are prohibited.”
Exhibit E to ADD2024-00046 sets the dimensional rules. Minimum lot area: 5,000 square feet single-family detached, 2,000 two-family attached, 1,500 townhome, 10,000 multi-family; minimum lot widths 40, 25, 18 and 100 feet respectively. Front setback 20 feet, or 25 feet from a public street. Maximum building coverage 60 per cent. Maximum height is 35 feet and 3 stories, except multi-family at 55 feet and 4 stories, and that exception applies only in Areas 1, 4, 6, 7 and 11. Minimum rear setback from a waterbody 15 feet, from a preserve 5 feet. And the rear setback to the golf course is 0 feet, for every product type: homes may be built to the golf course property line. The 2024 amendment also removed single-family villas and zero-lot-line dwellings from the Schedule of Uses, a change to what may be built going forward, not to what exists.
Against the 455 dwelling parcels on the recorded plats, build years are 2 in 2003, 13 in 2007, 8 in 2008, 70 in 2023, 174 in 2024, 163 new in 2025, 17 new in 2026, 8 carrying no building yet. One hundred vacant residential parcels remain inside the planned development’s plats: 91 in Ibis Landing Phase 2, 5 in Ibis Landing, 4 in Copperhead Phase 1. Fifty-six are developer-held (Millrose Properties Florida II 33, Lennar Homes LLC 18, Millrose Properties Florida LLC 3, Aquabella Development Group 2); the remaining 44 or so are third-party, mostly legacy Copperhead-era lot owners. Across all parcel types, 126 parcels on the August 2026 roll are developer-held: Aquabella Development Group 48, Lennar Homes 40, Millrose Properties Florida II 33, Millrose Properties Florida 5, Ibis Landing Golf Club, Inc. exactly 1.
From 112 monthly Lee County permit reports for the Lehigh Acres planning community, January 2022 to August 2026, 263 unique residential permit records appear on Ibis Landing and Copperhead streets between October 2023 and August 2026: 2 in 2023, 118 in 2024, 78 in 2025, 65 through August 2026. By type: 182 Single Family Residence, 42 Two Family Attached, 27 Pool Enclosure, 9 Screen Room, 2 Duplex, 1 Interior Remodel. Six 30-unit, four-storey Terrace buildings have been permitted to date and at least eleven 8-unit Carriage buildings; the two most recent 30-unit permits are COM2025-01854 (31 March 2026, 18540 Copperhead Court North, $3,200,000) and COM2026-00821 (19 August 2026, 18520 Copperhead Court North, $3,200,000).
Nothing commercial has been permitted in Development Areas 1 or 6, and the only commercially-coded parcel inside the community is the vacant 1.635-acre Tract FD-1 at 20881 Copperhead Drive; the 100,000 square feet of approved retail and office is an entitlement, not a plan of record with dates on it. The registers that matter are the recorded plats, not a builder’s phase or collection list: a vendor’s marketing roster measures a sales pipeline, not the territory.
These are the questions buyers and sellers actually ask us about what is being built nearby, who governs this community and who provides its services, answered from the same records cited above.
Published comment about Ibis Landing Golf & Country Club is overwhelmingly about the golf course rather than about living there, and it splits in a way worth knowing. Verified-purchase golfer reviews from August and September 2026 recurrently describe young, still-establishing fairways, homebuilding that is audible and visible from the course, and at least one temporary tee box shortening a par 3; a September 2026 aeration left greens aerated with carts restricted on half the holes for drainage. The club’s own construction page states the opposite, “All the construction takes place surrounding the Golf Course and does not impact the Golf Course.” Both positions are published, both are dated, and this page reports the conflict rather than picking a side. Resident commentary is harder to reach: the community’s own homeowners group is on Facebook and the club’s “Community Weekly Updates” and “Coffee with CAM Recaps” sit behind a members-only login on the club’s own website, so their content is not public. A resident satisfaction picture would need the association’s own member communications, which are not available to the public.
Lee County Ordinance No. 24-12, which created the Ibis Landing Community Development District on 18 June 2024, consented to the District exercising the §190.012(2)(a) powers, parks, recreational, cultural and educational facilities, and the §190.012(2)(d) security powers, which in the statute’s own terms cover guardhouses, fences and gates, electronic intrusion detection and patrol cars, with no police power. That is a consent to powers, not evidence that anything has been built. A permitted power and a constructed facility are two different things, and on the record as it stands the District’s balance sheet through 31 July 2026 carries exactly one fixed asset, “Water-Sewer Combination, $4,778,708”, with no recreation, parks or security asset on its books. What the District’s own capital improvement programme actually covers, per its executed minutes of 21 November 2024: master stormwater management, onsite mitigation, water and wastewater facilities to be conveyed to the Florida Governmental Utility Authority, public roadways including cost-sharing with Lee County, public irrigation, landscaping and hardscape in public rights of way, and the differential cost of undergrounding electric utilities.
The Ibis Landing Community Development District is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors. The initial board named in Section Four of Lee County Ordinance No. 24-12 was Scott Edwards, Dalton Drake, Alex Hinebaugh, Zane Zeidan and Ashley Kingston, all at 10481 Six Mile Cypress Parkway, Fort Myers, the developer’s Southwest Florida division office. The District’s FY2025 audited financial statements record that “as of September 30, 2025, all the five board members are affiliated with Lennar (the ‘Developer’).” Board seats in a Chapter 190 district transition from landowner election to qualified-elector election as the community is built out and occupied. The District’s meetings are held at Lennar Homes, 10461 Six Mile Cypress Parkway, Fort Myers. On the operating side the District is developer-funded: developer contributions to the general fund of $93,922, Due to Developer $17,953 at 30 September 2025, and an FY2025 General Fund appropriation of $111,875 funded entirely by “Lennar Homes $111,875” under a Developer Funding Agreement.
Yes, the Ibis Landing Community Development District’s Board of Supervisors operates under the public-accountability framework Florida imposes on special districts. The District was created under Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, and Florida’s special districts are subject to the Uniform Special District Accountability Act, Chapter 189, which governs reporting, budgeting, meeting notice and public records. Practically, that is why this page can cite the District’s adopted budgets (FY2026 adopted 19 June 2025 and FY2027 adopted 16 April 2026), its executed minutes of 21 November 2024, its audited FY2025 financial statements, and its board agenda package for the 17 September 2026 meeting including a balance sheet through 31 July 2026, all of them public documents a buyer can read. The FY2025 audit records that “no deteriorating financial conditions were [noted].” The District’s professionals of record are District Manager JPWard and Associates, LLC / James P. Ward, District Engineer Dave Underhill, District Attorney Greg Urbancic and Bond Counsel Steve Sanford; Resolution 2026-10, adopted at the 17 September 2026 meeting, transferred the JPWard and Associates agreement.
The Ibis Landing Community Development District’s professionals of record are District Manager JPWard and Associates, LLC (James P. Ward), of 2301 N.E. 37th Street, Fort Lauderdale; District Engineer Dave Underhill; District Attorney Greg Urbancic; and Bond Counsel Steve Sanford. Resolution 2026-10, adopted at the District’s 17 September 2026 meeting, transferred the JPWard and Associates agreement, and the District’s own public website lists PFM Management Services LLC at the same Fort Lauderdale address. These are the District’s contracted professionals, not employees, which is the normal structure for a Chapter 190 district. They are a separate matter from the association’s staff. The club’s Meet The Team page, fetched 17 September 2026, lists seven people, one Community Association Manager (Katie Geiman, LCAM), four golf professionals and two agronomy staff, and the community association manager is presented as club staff on the club’s own website, so the association side and the golf operation share one front door.
Access at Ibis Landing is best described from the record, and the record describes an open road network. Beth Stacey Boulevard is a public collector road that runs through the community, shown as such on the Master Concept Plan, and Condition 14 of the codified zoning conditions requires the developer to extend it about 3,630 feet south to Milwaukee Boulevard, built to County standards, with the new right-of-way dedicated to and accepted by Lee County for maintenance under Condition 15 (ADD2024-00046 Exhibit F, signed 16 August 2024). 23rd Street is a county-maintained minor arterial on the north boundary, and county records classify Beth Stacey Boulevard itself as a minor arterial. The community development district describes its roadways as public roadways in its capital improvement programme. The golf course is classified Semi-Private by Troon and publishes public green fees, $59+, $49+ and $39+ by time of day for the 1 May to 30 September 2026 season, with public tee times posting online seven days ahead. And across 88 Lee County published commercial permit reports, there are zero gate or gatehouse permits. The zoning schedule of uses permits entrance gates and gatehouses as a use, but permission is not construction, and no such structure appears in the permit record. Note also that the zoning’s own phrase for the interior network is “internal private roads,” with Copperhead Drive and Leatherwood Loop shown as privately maintained local roads. A site visit or an association rule naming a gate would settle it; neither is on this record. Residents raised access and security concerns at the district’s public meeting of 17 April 2025, which is a matter of public record.
The published rules at Ibis Landing cut against golf-cart use away from the course, and no rule permitting it was located. Two club rules are explicit: personal golf carts are prohibited on the golf course (Golf Cart Operation rule 8), and club carts may not be used off the course or in residential areas (rule 7). Nothing in the recorded Master Declaration (Lee County Instrument 2022000397088, recorded 29 December 2022) authorises golf-cart operation on the internal streets, and §5.15 regulates vehicles on the properties tightly, no overnight street parking, with “overnight” defined as 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM; no vehicle without current licence plates; and “any vehicle parked in violation of this Section 5.15 is subject to being towed away at the Owner’s expense without further warning.” Street operation of a golf cart in Florida turns on a local government’s designation of the specific roads for golf-cart use, and no Lee County designation covering these streets was located in this build, and note that Beth Stacey Boulevard, which runs through the community, is a county-maintained minor arterial, not an internal street. Anyone planning to use a cart for transport here should get the position in writing from the association and confirm the road designation with Lee County before buying the cart.
No forecast and no appreciation projection is published here, the market pull measures what has closed, and nothing else. What is documented instead is the supply and infrastructure picture around Ibis Landing, which is where that question actually gets decided. The community’s own entitlement was rewritten on 9 June 2026: Lee County case ADD2026-00009, 298.85 acres, status “Approved – To Mapping,” which the county’s own case note says “revise[s] MCP, property development regulations, conceptual open space exhibit, open space table, protected species survey and indigenous preserve and restoration management plan, conditions, and deviations” and “codifies and supersedes ADD2024-00046.” Its resolution text is not yet published in Lee County’s public document repository, so what it changed beyond the county’s one-sentence note is not publicly readable. Within one mile of the clubhouse, three applications sit undecided as of 17 September 2026, a shopping centre site plan at 0.72 miles, an 11.27-acre rezone at 0.83 miles, and a restaurant site plan at 0.99 miles, none approved, none under construction. And a 20.7-acre RM-2 parcel at 2 Beth Stacey Boulevard, vacant, in the same ownership since 1997, sits 0.29 miles from the anchor with no pending application on it, an entitlement and an ownership history, published as exactly that and never as a prediction.
