ITEM 4A <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />A/ <br />THROUGH: Andy Sobczak; Assistant Community Development Director ` l <br />FROM: Ryan Sweeney; Chief, Current Development .55;/— <br />DATE: June 15, 2022 <br />SUBJECT: Meritage Homes of Florida, Inc's Request for Preliminary PD Plan/Plat Approval for <br />Lakeside West [PD -21-11-10 / 2001090106-90748] <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission at its regular meeting of June 23, 2022. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />Mills, Short & Associates, LLC, on behalf of Meritage Homes of Florida, Inc, is requesting preliminary <br />planned development (PD) plan/plat approval for a 201 unit single-family residential development to be <br />known as Lakeside West PD (formerly known as Tripson Trail PD). The project site is located on the west <br />side of 43rd Avenue SW, south of 17`h Street SW and north 25d' Street SW (south County line). The project <br />site is zoned RS -3, Residential Single -Family (up to 3 units/acre), is vacant, and has not been previously <br />developed (see attachments 1 & 2). <br />On October 19, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) granted conceptual PD plan and special <br />exception approval for a 288 unit residential single-family project site under the project name Tripson Trail <br />PD. On April 28, 2005, the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) granted preliminary PD plan/plat <br />approval for the Tripson Trail PD project. Subsequent to the preliminary PD plan/plat approval, the <br />applicant starting working on obtaining all remaining County development permits (e.g. land development <br />permit, stormwater permit, land clearing permit, tree removal permit, etc.). However, the project did not <br />commence construction prior to the Great Recession, and all previous approvals expired except for the <br />conceptual PD plan and special exception approval. The conceptual PD plan and special exception <br />approval remains valid and "runs with the land." <br />Recently, Meritage Homes purchased the subject project site, and the development entitlements associated <br />with the Tripson Trail conceptual PD plan and special exception approval. The applicant has submitted a <br />preliminary PD plan/plat that is consistent with the previous conceptual PD plan and special exception <br />approval, and is now requesting a new preliminary PD plan/plat approval. It should be noted that the new <br />preliminary PD plan/plat only proposes 201 single-family units due to stormwater and floodplain design <br />requirements (i.e. "cut and fill" requirements). <br />The PZC is now to consider granting preliminary PD plan/plat approval for Lakeside West PD. <br />FACommunity Development\CurDev\P&Z\2022V-akeside West Preliminary PD - PD -21-11-10 (90748).docx <br />
