BOOK 10 7 F'A,E a69 This new law, codified in relevant part as Section 137.04, Florida Statutes, gives the Board of County Commissioners the power to reinstate a surety bond requirement for Itself or any of the Constitutional Officers it feels should have such a bond. The law indicated that the bond should be set after taking into account the amount of money and property in the control of the political office In question. On October 23, 1998, the Board directed our office to prepare a draft ordinance establishing bond requirements after discussing with the Constitutional Officers the amount of cash they may have on hand at one time. Attached Is such an ordinance, which is presented for consideration by the Board, and If the Board so desires, the ordinance would be advertised and brought back for a public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved advertising the ordinance for a public hearing. 12.B. COLONIAL HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION. LOTS 14 THROUGH 20 - REQUEST TO REMOVE DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTION (ZORC - HERAN) r The Board reviewed a Memorandum of October 7, 1998 and a letter of July 27, 1998: TO: The Board of County Commissioners FROM: �L William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney DATE: October 7, 1998 SUBJECT: Request to Remove Development Restriction on Lots 14-20, Colonial Heights Subdivision On January 14, 1981 the Board of County Commissioners approved a preliminary plat of Colonial Heights Subdivision with certain conditions. Among them was that Lots 14-20 abutting Colonial Terrace were to be built as single- family residential - one unit per lot. The final plat for Colonial Heights was approved by the County Commission on July 15, 1981 with a note included in the dedication that Lots 14-20 are restricted to one single-family unit per lot. A site plan application has been submitted which proposes triplexes on the lots. Because the restriction of Lots 14-20 to single-family was a condition of the development approval, the Community Development Department cannot process the application unless that condition of approval is lifted. All owners of property within the Colonial Heights Subdivision have recorded revocations of the restriction in the Dedication limiting Lots 14-20 to single-family units. As a result, the private deed restriction no longer exists. However, the limitation to single-family use of Lots 14-20 as a development condition still applies. (If the 1981 Commission had desired to restrict the use of Lots 14-20 to single-family, it would have been more appropriate to initiate a rezoning of those lots to a single-family district. Possibly to avoid time delays involved in the rezoning process, the developer agreed to the restrictive language on the plat as a condition of approval The property is currently zoned RM -6.
