11982 �� �,:r'F?73 <br />Alternative 2: <br />Alternative 3: <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Preliminary plat approval could be granted, <br />subject to the applicant meeting the conditions <br />outlined in Items 1 through 5 above. <br />Preliminary plat approval could be denied. <br />It is the recommendation of the staff that the Board of County <br />Commissioners choose Alternative 3, denial of preliminary plat <br />approval. It is true that access to Lot 18 can be provided <br />by culverting the drainage ditch, subject to permit issuance <br />by Indian River Farms Water Management District. However, <br />culverting of drainage ditches for the individual lots is not <br />desirable. Without culverting, Lot 18 has no means of ingress <br />or egress. This is in violation of Section 5, subparagraph 4 <br />of the Indian River County Subdivision Ordinance, "Every lot <br />shall abut upon and have permanent access to a public or approved <br />private street." <br />Engineer James Beindorf came before the Board <br />representing the applicant. He noted that there are 5 items <br />that the Technical Review Committee and Planning Department <br />came up with. Items 2,314, and 5 present no problem. The <br />maintenance easements and dedication of lake and common <br />drainage areas to the property owners would be handled under <br />deed restrictions; the existing parking area can be removed <br />when it is sold ( he did not see why it should be done now); <br />and they will make provision for mail delivery. Mr.-- — <br />Beindorf continued that the real problem is Lot 18. His <br />contention was that the lot is not landlocked; he pointed <br />out that it faces on 12th St. and according to County <br />Ordinance as long as the land is an acre or more and <br />abutting a public street, it can be sold in any manner the <br />owner wishes. Mr. Beindorf noted that the density of the <br />property is at a little over 1 unit per acre and rather than <br />eliminate a lot, he would prevail on the Board's judgement <br />to approve it or deny it. <br />Commissioner Fletcher asked if the lot is landlocked or <br />not, and Commissioner Bird noted that as long as they can <br />put in a culvert that satisfies the Drainage District, it <br />cannot be considered landlocked since it abuts on 12th St. <br />77 <br />
