Creagan, LEED Green Associate; Chief, Current Development <br />FROM: Michael Hill, Planner, Current Development <br />DATE: March 26, 2025 <br />SUBJECT: John & Kara Gillespie's Request for Affidavit of Exemption (AOE) Approval with <br />Dedications to the County for the KNJ AOE [AOE-23-10-02 / 2003050066- <br />95328] <br />It is requested that herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular <br />meeting of April 8th 2025. <br />BACKGROUND <br />KMA Engineering & Surveying LLC, on behalf of John and Kara Gillespie, applied for an Affidavit of <br />Exemption (AOE). The project consists of three (3) lots on 19.80 acres of land located east of 74' Avenue, <br />south of 4't' Street, north of 11 Street SW, and west of 66th Avenue (see Attachment 1). The property is zoned A <br />-1, Agricultural -1 (up to 1 unit/5 acres), and has an AG -1, Agriculture -1 (up to l unit/5 acres) future land use <br />designation. <br />During the AOE development review process, Public Works staff indicated that a limited access easement <br />would be required along the project's 11 Street SW frontage. The purpose of the limited access easement is to <br />control the number of driveway connections to the publicly owned and maintained rights-of-way (1st Street <br />SW). Dedication of the limited access easements to the Board will allow the County to enforce the use of the <br />common driveway connections to 1st Street SW for all lots within the KNJ AOE. <br />Normally, an AOE may be approved at the staff level; however, the dedication of the 5' limited access easement <br />and a 30' ROW (Tract A) dedication requires Board acceptance. Once accepted by the Board, staff may <br />concurrently approve the AOE, and the appropriate documents may be recorded in the public records. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The recordable KNJ Farms AOE plan accurately depicts the required limited access easement. The proposed <br />layout of the AOE has been reviewed by staff, including Public Works, and is acceptable. Also, the language <br />dedication has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's office. The Board may now consider <br />Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 4/2/2025 <br />pom Legistar- <br />
