ATTACHMENTS: 1. Application 2. Location Map 3. Plat 4. Contract for Construction (Draft) 5. Performance Bond (Draft) Commissioner Stanbridge reported that she had received a call from the Michael family who have lived along Jungle Trail for many decades. She stated that Gordon Michael would be showing the Board some photographs of the jungle (on the Jungle Trail) that has been removed near the area of the Beazer site. She asked the Board's approval to have Mr. Michael come forward with his photographs. Community Development Director Robert M. Keating gave a brief overview of the Island Club Riverside Plat IV which was scheduled for final plat approval at this meeting. The preliminary plat was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. They have obtained a land development permit, done some construction and bonded out for the rest; that information is in the agenda backup. Recently, staff learned that Beazer had done some clearing in the buffer. They originally had a plan to do required landscaping in the Jungle Trail buffer; they were going to preserve trees and some wetlands there. He understood the situation changed somewhat: instead of preserving the wetlands, they bought some credits in the mitigation bank and they changed their Jungle Trail buffer plan without informing the County and without approval. In so doing they removed some trees they should not have removed. Director Keating had requested that the item be removed from the agenda so staff could work out several issues with the developer. The maximum fine provided is $500 per April 11, 2000 22
