r1 1983 SEP 2 ar�K rAc� 688 DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: Golf Palm View Estates is a 10 lot subdivision, located on the north side of 30th Street, west of 11th Avenue. The subject property is zoned R-lA, Single -Family Residential, (4.3 dwelling units/acre) and has a LD -1, Low -Density Residential, (3 dwelling units/acre) land use designation. The proposed building density is 2.78 dwelling units/acre. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: The applicant has complied with all County requirements concerning subdivisions, with one exception. Section 22-54 (A)(8) of the County's Subdivision Ordinance 75-3 states that, "Whenever a tract to be subdivided borders on an existing half t or partial street, the other part of the street shall be. dedicated within such tract." Thirtieth Street is an existing half street. The existing right-of-way is 351 V size, so under the conditions of this provision, the applicant shall be responsible for providing an additional 15' of right-of-way. The applicants have requested a variance from this provision in the ordinance (see Attachment 4). The reason for this variance request, as stated in the letter from the applicant, is that, in order to provide additional right-of-way, the applicant would have to utilize Indian River Farms Drainage District land. The district's main relief canal right-of-way abuts the northern border of the existing 30th Street pavement. This land would have to be acquired from the Water Control District. 'The District has been contacted, and has informed staff that they would not be willing to have any of their right-of-way used for the purpose -of providing street right-of-way for residential development. In fact, according to the District, as Indian River County grows, that right-of-way will have to be used for expansion of the Main Canal. The County Engineer has reviewed this variance request and has also recommended that it be approved. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant, to the applicants, a variance from Section 22-54 (A)(8) of the County's Subdivision Ordinance, requiring extension of the existing right-of-way to a width of 501. Staff further recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant preliminary plat approval to Golf Palm View Estates Subdivision. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, that the Board approve preliminary site plan for Golf Palm View Estates Subdivision with a variance, as recommended by staff. In discussion, Commissioner Lyons was assured by Attorney Brandenburg that the County has the right to grant the variance. s0
