DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: Berkley Square consists of 33 single-family lots on 16.20 acres located on the south side 33rd Street just east of 66th Avenue. The property is zoned RS-3 (Residential Single Family — up to 3 units per acre), and has an L-1 (Low Density 1 up to 3 units per acre) land use designation. The density for Berkley Square is 2.04 units per acre. After the final plat application was filed, the project was purchased by the present owner, GHO Berkley Square Corp. At the time of the purchase, the present owner completed all appropriate transfer documents with the county to transfer all applicable county project approvals. The new owner has now completed the requirements for final plat approval. On July 18, 2004, the county granted preliminary plat approval for a project known as the Bella Sol subdivision. The new owner has re-named the project Berkley Square. After preliminary plat approval, a land development permit was issued for the project, the required subdivision improvements were constructed, and a Certificate of Completion was issued. The applicant has submitted a final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary plat, and now requests that the Board of County Commissioners grant final plat approval for Berkley Square. ANALYSIS: All of the required improvements for Berkley Square have been completed and inspected, and a Certificate of Completion was issued on January 28, 2016. As part of the Certificate of Completion process, the developer posted a maintenance bond to guarantee road and drainage improvements. All improvements (stormwater tracts, landscape easements, roadways) will be private, with the exception of certain utility facilities which have been dedicated to and guaranteed to Indian River County as required by the Utility Services Department. All requirements of final plat approval have been satisfied. FACommunity Development\CurDev\Final Plats\BCC staff reports\2016FPrpts\BerkleySquarefinalplatSD-04-07-31 doc ] 13
