BOOK 109 FACE 571 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of June 22, 1999. Laurel Springs is a 19.54 acre 6 lot single-family planned development (PD) approved through the special exception and preliminary PD plan/plat process. The project site is located on the south side of 8' Street immediately west of the Pine Tree Park subdivision. The final plat will establish 6 single-family lots, a stormwater tract to cover the site's existing 13.4 acre lake, and easements for drainage, utilities, access, and conservation purposes. At its regular meeting of September 1, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners granted PD special exception approval for this proj ect with conditions. Subsequently, the applicant obtained preliminary PD plan/plat approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The applicant has also obtained a Land Development Permit and has constructed required improvements. The developer is now requesting final PD plan/plat approval with a condition that either the project's required agricultural buffer (west side of Lot 6) be bonded -out and installed or the developer obtain a "no -spray" easement over the existing citrus grove adjacent to Lot 6. Such an option for addressing the Lot 6/citrus grove interface was approved by the Board of County Commissioners as part of its 1998 action. The proposed plat accommodates either option. The owner, Laurel Homes, Inc., through its agent Carter Associates, Inc., is now requesting final PD plan/plat approval and has submitted a final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary PD plan/plat. ANALYSIS: Most of the required improvements have been completed as of the date of this report. Staff anticipates that final inspections and a certificate of completion will be forthcoming prior to the Board of County Commissioner's meeting. Final plat approval can be granted as long as a condition is also approved that requires the applicant to obtain a Certificate of Completion prior to recording the final plat. As previously described, the developer has an option to either provide an agricultural buffer along the west boundary of Lot 6 or obtain a "no -spray" easement across the citrus grove that is adjacent to the western boundary of Lot 6. The developer has indicated that she will probably choose to bond -out for and construct the buffer. Final plat approval is being requested, and may be granted, subject to a condition that prior to recording the final plat, the developer shall either bond -out to construct the agricultural buffer or shall obtain the "no -spray" easement. If the construction/bond-out option is pursued then the buffer will need to be installed within 1 year or prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for a residence on Lot 6, whichever occurs first. Subject to the conditions referenced above, all applicable requirements regarding final plat approval have been satisfied After the developer obtains a Certificate of Completion, she will warranty the utilities improvements via a Utility Services Department Bill of Sale. Since no other improvements are being dedicated to the public, no other warranties will be required Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final plat approval for Laurel Springs PD, authorize staffto enter into any necessary construction contracts and authorize staff to accept security to guarantee any such contract, with the following conditions: JUNE 229 1999 10
