Robert M. Kea ing AICP Planning & Development Director FROM: Mary Jane V. Goetzfried REFERENCES: Surf & Racquet Club Chief, Current Development Section DIS:MARYJ It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of January 2, 1985. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Pursuant to Section 23 (h)(1) Appendix A of the County Code, the Board of County Commissioners is afforded the authority to evaluate the validity of an approved site plan, when there is a question with regard to commencement or abandonment of con- struction. The Code specifies that construction will have commenced when the developer has built a portion of a structure shown on the approved site plan (e.g. the pouring of footers), or has made substantial improvements to the site, other than land clearing, filling or grading, evidencing a good faith effort to -diligent- ly pursue construction to completion. In cases where construction has commenced, and subsequently been abandoned or suspended, the site plan approval shall terminate and become null and void after notice and hearing by the Board of County Commissioners. Construction shall be considered abandoned or suspended if at the hearing it is shown that an active building permit has not been maintained for the construction of a structure in accordance with the approved plan, or it is shown to the satisfaction of the Board of County Commissioners that construction at a level indicating a good faith effort to proceed with the completion of the project has not occurred for a continuous period of six (6) months, unless the inactivity is attributable to the deliberate and scheduled phasing of a multiphase project which has been approved as such by the County. The site plan application to construct the Surf & Racquet Club, approved in June of 1981, depicts 60 midrise units, attached duplex units, one manager's residence, recreational amenities and one dune cross-over. County records reflect the following CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS with regard to construction of the Surf & Racquet Club: April 3, 1981 - Site plan application submitted by Robert Cairns. June 11, 1981 - Site plan approval granted by Planning & Zoning Commission. June 2, 1982 - Request submitted for site plan approval extension. 55 BOOK 59 345 JAN 21985
