Ke t'i g, = SCP SUBJECT: ACCEPT FUNDS IN LIEU OF Community Deve opmDirector PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENT DEDICATION: SPOTO AFFIDAVIT OF EXEMPTION FROM: Stan Boling - REFERENCES: spoto 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 February 9, 1988. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: Randy Mosby, P.E., acting on behalf of James Spoto, is completing the County's "affidavit of exemption" subdivision process for a three parcel development located on the west side of Roseland Road, extending west to the Sebastian River, immediately north of the Point 0' Woods subdivision. The subdivision ordinance, through the filing of an "affidavit of exemption", allows creation of parcels ±5 acres in size without requiring platting or con- struction of required improvements (roads, drainage systems). Staff will approve the subdivision, as provided for in the ordi- nance, as soon as all applicable affidavit of exemption criteria are satisfied. One criterion that applies to the development is the County's public water access requirement [section 10(r) of the subdivision ordinance]. The access requirement may be satisfied by either dedication and improvement of an access easement or by dedication of the fair market value of such an easement.

ANALYSIS: The Board of County Commissioners may accept the money dedication in lieu of an actual easement in order to improve existing public parks or access areas. The Board considers two major items when reviewing requests to accept money dedications: 1. are there other public areas and/or facilities nearby that already afford access to the water body, which may be im- proved by the money dedication?; and 2. does the proposed money dedication reasonably reflect the fair market value of an actual easement which meets the subdivision requirements? Existing Public Facilities: The Dale Wimbrow Park and adjacent Donald McDonald park are located approximately 1/4 mile north of the subject property. It is staff's opinion that the combined acreage of the existing parks (±74 acres) and combined shoreline (±3,100') affords adequate public access in the immediate vicinity of that portion of the Sebastian River. Improvement of the existing facilities could 1 22
