Re�at' g, SUBJECT: Community Deve opme Director THROUGH: Stan Boling 46 Chief, Current Development FROM: Robert E. wieg ers"-(Ai REFERENCES: subord BWIEG AMENDMENTS TO THE COUNTY SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE Staff Planner It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration. by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of January 19, 1988. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: In July of this year the Utilities Department requested that language be placed on final plats that would guarantee future hook-ups to the County's expanding utilities services. Also, staff is revising the County's Subdivision Ordinance to reflect recent changes in state law (Florida Statutes) concerning prior property restrictions that may affect the ownership or use of platted lots. Other minor alterations have been made to these sections in terms of code organization. ANALYSIS: 1. Section 1 This section gives the Utilities Department the authority to require that a final plat applicant file a covenant document, with the final plat, that provides for future connection to county water/wastewater service with all associated fees paid by the subdivision homeowners' association or by indivi- dual property owners of that subdivision. The proposed amendment also requires thatall deeds conveying properties within the subdivision reference the covenant document. 2. Section 2 Earlier this year the Florida Legislature amended Section 177.091, Florida Statutes to require that plats for recording include a notice of possible additional restrictions which may affect the ownership of property, within a platted subdivision. The proposed amendment to the existing subdivi- sion ordinance precisely implements this new State requirement. The other notice referenced in this section concerning the placement of construction, trees, or shrubs in an existing easement, currently exists within the ordinance. The proposed change is intended to have this restriction more prominently displayed on the final plat. The County Attorney's office has verified that the proposed ordinance is acceptable as to form and legal sufficiency. At their regular meeting of December 10, 1987 the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed subdivision ordinance amendments. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed subdivision ordinance amendments. 70
