MAR 251991 FINAL APPROVAL - NARANJA TRACT SHELLMOUND BEACH THE BOARD REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING MEMORANDUM: TO: The Honorable Board of DATE: March 16, 1981 FILE: County Commissioners SUBJECT: Final Plat Approval - Replat of Naranja Tract Shellmound Beach 9.5 Acre Site containing 11 Lots bordering the Indian River to the East and Massey Road to the West FROM: Neil A. Nelson, REFERENCES: County Administrator Descriptions and Conditions The subject subdivision is a replat of a small, isolated area along the Indian River. Australian Pine trees in the ',unimproved Massey Road right-of-way to the west of the site complicate ingress -egress to the lots, and will hinder future drainage and roadway improvements. A $10,000. cash bond has been provided by the developer to pave Massey Road. Tree removal and drainage of Massey Road is not included in this bond amount. Furthermore, no drainage swales have been constructed by the developer. The Engineer has been notified of the tree problem and since the trees are in the County road- way, he does not feel that removing them is his clients responsibility. Alternatives and Analysis Since the roots of the Australian Pines are of a shallow, spreading type, proper road and drainage construction will probably necessitate tree removal. Once' -Final Plat approval is given, those lot purchasers desiring to build may request the County to remove the trees, pave Massey Road, and provide additional drainage. The $10,000. escrow amount will not cover the cost of tree removal, road paving, and necessary drainage work. Recommendations and Funding Based on the above, it is the staff's recommendation that additional funds be placed in escrow to cover tree removal and drainage improvements along Massey Road. Those additional funds shall be as estimated by the Engineer - of -Record and approved by the County Engineer. Contingent upon this require- ment, the staff recommends approval of this Final Plat request. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON NOTEDz. {THAT MASSEY ROAD IS A VERY NARROW DIRT ROAD WHICH THE COUNTY HAS MAINTAINED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, AND IT IS NOT REALLY BIG ENOUGH TO PAVE UNLESS YOU TOOK OUT ALL THE PINES AND CREATED A DRAINAGE SYSTEM. THIS IS WHY THEY ARE RECOMMENDING ADDITIONAL FUNDS BE PLACED IN ESCROW FOR TREE REMOVAL.
