RE: Red Stick Golf Club, Inc.'s Request to Amend Figure 4.13 of the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan to Delete 81" Street, Between 58" Avenue and Old Dixie Highway PLATT AMENDMENT NUMBER: CPTA 98-10-0172 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of November 7, 2000. This is a request by Red Stick Golf Club, Inc. to amend Figure 4.13 of the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. That figure is the Future Roadway Functional Classification Map, also known as the Thoroughfare Plan Map. Figure 4.13 identifies 81St Street as a Rural Major Collector Roadway from 82"d Avenue east to US 1. The request is to remove the portion of 8151 Street located between 58' Avenue and Old Dixie Highway. Attachment 2 shows Figure 4.13 as it currently exists; Attachment 3 shows the Proposed Figure 4.13. On September 28, 2000, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment and delete 8181 Street, between 58' Avenue and Old Dixie Highway, from the Thoroughfare Plan Map. On October 19, 2000, the Professional Services Advisory Committee voted 3 to 3 on a motion to recommend approval of the proposed amendment. BACKGROUND The issue of removing a portion of 81$ Street from the Thoroughfare Plan Map was first raised when the applicant applied for approval for a 315 acre, 18 hole golf course with a clubhouse and maintenance facility. The entire project is known as Red Stick Golf Club and is generally located between 58" Avenue (Kings Highway) and Old Dixie Highway; and between CR 510 (85`" Street) and 77" Street (Hobart Road). On March 2, 1999, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Conceptual Plan and a Planned Development (PD) rezoning for the Red Stick Golf Club project. On April 8, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary plan/plat with conditions. The site plan for the development has been released, and the golf course is currently under construction. When the PD application was submitted, staff reviewed the application and determined that 8151 Street, as shown on the Thoroughfare Plan Map, bisected the project, even though no right-of-way for that segment existed. At that time, staff recognized that the county had to chose one of the following two options: purchase the right-of-way now to preserve that segment of 81St Street; or approve the golf course now and, if necessary, purchase the right-of-way in the future at a significantly higher price. The golf course approval itself is one reason why a future purchase would be much more expensive. For reasons discussed in the analysis portion of this staff report, staff determined that the subject segment of 8V Street is unlikely to ever be needed or constructed. Therefore, staff determined, and the Board agreed, that it was not necessary to purchase the right-of-way now. November 7, 2000 87 s
