The Proposed density is 11.36 utzits/acre. 3. The Trellises, Lot 57, Unit 2: A 62,000 square foot retail sales and "office complex is proposed for this 5.32 acre site situated in the C-lA, Restricted Commercial zoning district, The Land Use Element of the Carprehensive Plan designees the Moorings as ID -1 with a maximum allowable density of 3 units/acre, with the exception of a 10 acre commercial nate located at the intersection of Highway A -1-A and Mooring Line Drive. The proposed deve].opmm-iLs exceed the dc-nsity specifier) by '-he Plan, however, the Canprehensive Plan states "Projects which have received site plan or subdivision approval at the date of adoption of this Plan shall be con- sidered in conformity with the Plan." It should also be noted that the overall density within the Moorings is approximately 2 units/acre. On July 7, 1982, the Board of County Cammidsioners granted a 1 year extension of the site plan approval for the 3 projects with -an expiration date of October 22, 1983. At this time the applicant is requesting that the sitrejplan approvals for Southwi.nds, the Pointes and the Trellises be extended for eighteen months, with an expiration date of April 22, 1985. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS Site plan approval terminates after one year if construction of the approved Plan has not begun. Extensions may be granted by the Board of County Commissioners at its discretion. Traditionally, a 1 year extension of site plan approval has been granted by the Board at the request of the applicant. This additional time usually allows for final arrangements to be made prior to the commencement of construction. Once the construction has begun, there are no applicable Provisions providing a time limit to complete construction. At the time of the original site plan approval it was anticipated that the referenced projects would receive sewer service from Hutchinson Utilities, Inc., a franchised company which provides wastewater treatment for the Moorings development. The existing facility is committed to approximately 880 of its capacity and it is expected that single-family residences will acquire the remainder of the available service. Hutchinson Utilities is in the final stages of preparing plans for a new' wastewater treatment facility which will service the rest of the Moorings develogwnt. It is projected that the new plant will be on line and operating by the end of 1983. Prior to the issuance of a building permit documentation shall be received from the County Utilities Division that sewer service is available for the approved project. This requirement necessitates the granting of the requested extension of site plan approval to allow for construction of the new wastewater plant. It is anticipated construction of at least'Pone of the Projects would begin within six months of the completion of the treatment facility. RECO .NIDATION Staff recortanends approval of the Moorings Development request for the extension of site plan approval for Southwinds, The'Pointes, and The Trellises. 8
