J U L 2 71982 sex 50. WE 703 <br />Vic) Develorment (Plate III). The L shaped area souti - <br />west and southeast of ROSE MAVEN is about ?'5;b' ,leveloped <br />wit h over 90% of the existing units being mobile 1homes. A <br />review of the 1981 tax rolls indicate that there are over <br />130 mobile homes and only 9 single family dwellings in this <br />area. Northeast of ROSE HAVEN, in that portion of the Town - <br />site of Roseland southeast of Roseland -Road, development is <br />only about 20% completed and many of the streets have not <br />been cut through. A typical lot in' the To rnsite of r:ose'!, rd <br />=easures 60' x 1401. <br />III. SUBDIVISION PROCESS <br />The writer began the subdivision process approximately <br />eighteen months ago. At the outset, and, all during the " <br />process, it was mad -e ciear to Indian River County Staff that <br />the intended use of ROSE IL&VElL was duplex homes on half acre <br />lots. The intended duplex usage was again made clear both <br />in the legend of the Plat and in discussions at the Technical <br />Review Committee (TRC) meeting of January 5, 1982 (see official <br />minutes of this meeting). <br />In a letter received from the Indian River County <br />Planning Department three weeks after th TRC meeting, we <br />were informed that duplex lots would not be compatible <br />with the new Land Use Map. This was confirmed at the <br />County Commission's Preliminary Plat Review.,of Basch 23,1982. <br />Each duplex would require site plan approval, and two units <br />on a net one half acre lot calculates to be four units per <br />acre. <br />IV. CONCLUSION <br />The writer believes that duplex dwellings on h31f acre <br />lots in ROSE F.AVEN is compatible with the existing development <br />of the surrounding area. Duplex homesites are needed in Roseland. <br />It is Planned to record restrictive covenants which would <br />prohibit car Forts and other undesirable elements an;! help <br />insure better quality homes. The construction of eight <br />duplex hones on the five gross acres would result in a <br />density of just over 3 units per acre. This is a lower <br />densis;;• than that of the many mobile homes built on ?0' <br />and 75' lots in the area. <br />15 <br />
