ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: This application has been reviewed by all of the appropriate County departments. The final plat is in conformance with the approved preliminary plat. The Public Works division has inspected and approved all of the completed improvements and has approved the dollar amounts proposed for contract surety and held in escrow. The Utility Services division has approved the water distribution system and has no objection to final plat approval. The County Attorney's office has approved all submitted documents, including the contract to construct the remaining improvements and the three -party cash escrow agreement, both subject to being signed by the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners. The proposed subdivision is traversed by a 33' AT & T easement, which contains the Orlando/West Palm Beach tele- phone cable. South of the South Relief Canal, this cable easement runs along the western side of Old Dixie Highway. Sections of this easement lie within existing County rights-of-way in other subdivisions such as Dixie Gardens Unit 2, Dixie Heights, Vero Beach Highlands, and Florida Ridge. The easement and cable lie within some of the road right-of-way to be dedicated to the County upon final approval of this plat (see attachment 3). Staff phone conversations with AT & T personnel in Indian River County, Orlando, and Atlanta have confirmed that AT & T staff supervised all construction and paving work within the easement, and that AT & T has no objection to the Oak Ridge Subdivision project. County staff has sent a letter to AT & T's Atlanta office, requesting written confirmation that AT & T has no objections (see attachment 10). This will ensure that AT & T will not have the ability to exercise its easement rights contrary to the County's interests. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final plat approval to Oak Ridge Subdivision, accept the submitted warranty maintenance agreement and irrevocable letter of credit, and authorize the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to sign the submitted Contract for Construction of Required Improvements and three -party escrow agreement. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) granted final plat approval to Oak Ridge Subdivision, accepted the warranty maintenance agreement and irrevocable letter of credit, and authorized the Chairman to sign the Contract for Construction of Required Improvements and three -party escrow agreement.
