REFERENCES: waverly place Chief, Current Development STAN4 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of March 24, 1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: In November of 1979, the County approved a major site plan application to construct a condominium project known as Tropic Villas South (now known as Waverly Place) on ±26.82 acres located on the east side of 6th Avenue at 10th Street [see attachment #11. At the time of approval, the site was zoned R-2 (Multiple -family) which allowed up to 15 units/acre. The approved plan proposed 348 units at a density of 12.97 units/acre. Subsequently, a site plan modification was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 13, 1983 which, among other things, reduced the overall density to 11.78 units/acre (316 total units). The plans called for 7 phases which were to be "platted -over" as land condominiums [see attachment #21. Presently, 112 units are built and occupied on the central 9.36 acres of the project, comprising Tropic Villas South and phases 1 and 2 (all platted), at a density of 11.96 units/acre. Some infrastructure improvements for the remaining phases of the project have been constructed, and preliminary plats to lay over the approved site plans have been approved. Building permits for constructing phase 3 units (total of 40) were obtained, and con- struction started on the units. However, the last phase 3 building inspection was conducted in December of 1985. Since that time, no active building permits have been maintained and con- struction has been abandoned. The 40 units are approximately 80% complete, with some interior and finishing work remaining. The overall project is almost 3 years behind its construction/ com- pletion schedule [see attachment #3] Pursuant to section 23.1(g)(3) of the site plan ordinance, the Board of County Commissioners can terminate site plan approval after notice (to the owner) and a hearing if it is determined that construction has been abandoned or suspended. Construction is considered abandoned or suspended if an active building permit has not been maintained for construction or if it is shown that a good faith effort to proceed with the project has not occurred for a continuous period of 6 months [see attachment #4]. 91
