Creagan, LEED Green Associate; Chief, Current Development <br />DATE: November 20, 2023 <br />SUBJECT: DR Horton, Inc.'s Request for Vacation of the Orchid Reserve Subdivision Plat <br />[PVSD-06-03-05 / 2004050460-95295] <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County <br />Commissioners at its regular meeting of December 5, 2023. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />Masteller & Moler, Inc., on behalf of DR Horton, Inc., is requesting that the Orchid Reserve <br />Subdivision plat be vacated per F.S. 177.101. The Orchid Reserve Subdivision plat is located east <br />of US Highway 1 and approximately 1/2 mile north of County Road 510 (see attachment 1). <br />Approved in 2007, the Orchid Reserve Subdivision plat established 100 townhome lots (plat -over <br />site plan), two private road rights-of-way (Orchid Reserve Lane and Orchid Reserve Circle), <br />County Utilities easements, County limited access easements, and several private easements. <br />The subdivision site is zoned RM -6, Residential Multi -Family (up to 6 units/acre), OCR, Office, <br />Commercial, Residential, and CON -2, Conservation -2, and is currently vacant. The property <br />owner, DR Horton, Inc., owns all of the property within the boundary of the plat. If the plat is <br />vacated the property owner intends to redevelop the area contained within the subdivision area as <br />part of a revised Orchid Reserve plat -over site plan townhome subdivision that will contain the <br />same number of lots but in a slightly different configuration. <br />At this time, the applicant requests that the Orchid Reserve Subdivision plat be vacated. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The Orchid Reserve Subdivision plat was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on <br />December 18, 2007. That subdivision plat established 100 townhome lots (plat -over site plan), two <br />private road rights-of-way (Orchid Reserve Lane and Orchid Reserve Circle), County Utilities <br />easements, County limited access easements, and several private easements. Land clearing, lake <br />excavation, and mass grading was previously conducted on the site. However, no homes or other <br />infrastructure have been built on any of the subject lots. <br />123 <br />
