DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On May 14, 198.7+ the Planning and . Zoning Commission 'granted conditional preliminary - plat approval for the River Club subdivision. The subdivision, which is part of the entire River Club project (145 acres of golf course; 35 acres of subdivision), .consists of 71 single family lots served by a central roadway and a series of cul-de-sac roads. The River Club .golf course and subdivision are part of the Grand Harbor D.R.I. project. However, this portion of Grand Harbor is not included within the Grand Harbor PRD, and is being developed under the normal site plan (for the golf course) and subdivision requirements. 'One of the normal subdivision requirements applied to the River Club subdivision is construction of sidewalks on both sides of local residential streets [reference section 10(e) of the subdivision ordinance]. Recently, in October 1986, the Board adopted revisions to the subdivision ordinance which included a waiver of the sidewalk requirement on certain cul-de-sac segments. Staff has applied the new ordinance provisions to the project and has determined that sidewalks are only required on both sides of a central roadway which provides access to several cul-de-sac segments. (see attachment #4). Attorney Steve Henderson, on behalf of the owner/developer River Club of Indian River, Inc., is now requesting a waiver from the subdivision sidewalk requirement, asking that a sidewalk be required on only one side of the central roadway. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: Section 11(b) of the subdivision ordinance requires that the Board of County Commissioners find all of the following before granting any subdivision waiver request: "1. The particular physical conditions, shape or topography of the specific property involved would cause an undue hardship to the applicant if the strict letter of the ordinance is carried out; 2. The granting of the waiver will not cause injury to adjacent property or any natural resource; 22
