RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners determine that the Grand Harbor, Inc . ' s request to add a ±4 acre parcel to the overall Grand Harbor project area for use as a golf mainte- nance facility does not constitute a substantial deviation (as defined in Florida Statutes Chapter 380.06) and shall be reviewed and adopted as a minor amendment. Stan Boling, Chief of Current Development, explained that it is the opinion of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the Dept. of Community Affairs that this is not something that would require regional review, and staff concurs. However, Assistant County Attorney Bill Collins has advised that according to State Statutes, the developers should be given an opportunity to convince the Board that the change is not substantial enough to require regional review. Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Darrell McQueen, engineer representing Grand Harbor, advised that State Statutes stipulate that any addition of Land requires the developer to show that there is not a substantial deviation, and he believed that they have shown successfully to the T.C.R.P.C. and the DCA that this is not a substantial deviation. Part of the basis for that was that the 4 acres of land mass that they are adding to this development is to replace a use that they had there previously. Alt the golf maintenance will be put on this site. The 1.7 and 2.5 -acre tracts are being left as open recreation space. The drainage was considered previously in the Grand Harbor plan for off-site areas, and there should be no trouble with the drainage. Mr. McQueen stated that this addition does not meet any of the threshold listed in the Statutes for a substantial deviation. There being no others who wished to be heard, Chairman Wheeler closed the Public Hearing. 47 FEB 28198
