V. Request to schedule _a_public_ hearing _date _for _the Grand Harbor Marina_ Expansion_ Substantial_ Deviation The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/7/91: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: 4 4PoM�t M. Keatfi no, A Community Develo men Director FROM: Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director DATE: October 7, 1991 SUBJECT: REQUEST TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR THE GRAND HARBOR MARINA EXPANSION SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATION It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County'Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 15, 1991.. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:• In September 1989, Grand Harbor applied to the Treasure Court Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) for approval to amend the Grand Harbor development order (D.O.). The requested amendment is to add 324 boatslips to the Grand Harbor marina which is currently approved for 144 slips. If the request is approved, the result would be a total of 468 slips in the marina. The addition of slips is considered significant -and, therefore, constitutes a "substantial deviation" from the approved development plans and D.O. _ .A substantial deviation request is reviewed and processed in much the same way as the original D.R.I. project (see attachment #1). The delay in the review and consideration of this substantial deviation application has been at the request of the developer. During 1990 and the early part of 1991, the developer requested the ability to delay and extend the substantial deviation application; the requests to extend the application were granted by the TCRPC with no objections from county staff. The developer requested the application extensions due to the ownership charges and uncertainly of direction of the Grand Harbor project. The substantial deviation request has now undergone a review for informational and analysis content (known as the "sufficiency review") by the TCRPC staff with input from county staff and state and federal agencies. To date, the TCRPC staff has been responsible for coordinating the review process. The TCRPC staff has now officially certified that the request application is sufficient for consideration and action (see attachment #2). Pursuant to Florida Statutes 380.06(11), the Board of County Commissioners is now required to schedule a public hearing date at which the Board, after receiving a report and recommendation from the TCRPC, will consider approving the request and amending the development order (D.O.). In addition to normal scheduling requirements, it should be noted that the applicant is requesting a May,1992 hearing date to allow more time to try to address a major environmental concern expressed by the TCRPC staff.
