f AY 2 4 19A mor 477 TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: r , Robert M. Keating, TMP!/ Community Development irector FROM: Stan Boling,"AICP Planning Director DATE: May 16, 1994 SUBJECT: Grand Harbor Development of Regional Impact (D.R.I.) Substantial Deviation Request to Add 200 Boatslips to the Grand Harbor Marina and Add a 4.94 Acre Parcel to the Overall D.R.I. Project Area It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of May 24, 1994. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On February 7, 1994, GHA, Grand Harbor Ltd. submitted a Substantial Deviation Application for Development Approval to add 200 boatslips to the existing 144 slip Grand Harbor marina, and to add a 4.94 acre residentially zoned parcel to the overall project. The request has been reviewed through the normal DRI review process, and has been considered by the Treasure Coast.Regional Planning Council. At its April 15, 1994 meeting, the regional planning council voted to recommend approval of the request with conditions (see attachment #3). Pursuant to state DRI rules, the Board of County Commissioners is now to consider this substantial deviation request. In accordance with county LDR requirements, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at its May 12, 1994 meeting. The Commission unanimously recommended that the Board approve the request as recommended by staff at the end of this report (see attachment #6). If the Board approves this DRI request, then a more detailed review of the boatslip lay -out and design will be made at -the time of site plan approval (as was done for the existing 144 -slips). ANALYSIS: *Parcel Addition The request to add a recently purchased 4.94 acre parcel to the overall DRI project area will merely add more area to the project; no increase in the amount of overall project maximum residential density is being requested, and none will be approved with this request. Therefore, adding this parcel will not change the off- site impacts of the overall project. However, county staff has provided comments to the applicant regarding on-site impacts of potential future development of the. parcel. In response to county staff comments, the applicant has agreed that at the time of site plan review for development of this parcel, the county upland setaside requirement will apply. Also, the applicant has acknowledged that in the future, as part of the site plan review and approval process to develop this parcel, it may need to modify its St. Johns River Water Management District stormwater permit to reflect the site drainage design. 32
