• • At its February 20, 2001 meeting, the Board agreed to reconsider the condition and a P.D. plan modification at a public hearing. The applicant has now submitted a revised P.D. plan along with a request to modify the original recreation tract condition and staff has scheduled this public hearing for this matter. The hearing has been properly noticed and advertised at the applicant's expense. Therefore. the Board is now to consider the proposed P D plan modification and a modification to the original approval condition relating to recreation tract area. ANALYSIS: The P.D. ordinance (Chapter 915) sets forth recreation area requirements that correspond to the number of proposed residential units. Under Chapter 915 standards pedestrian paths. recreation areas, playgrounds, playfields. and active recreation facilities like tennis courts may all count toward meeting the P. D. recreation area requirement. For the Legend Lakes project. 1.97 acres of recreation area is required Under the January 91" ("old plan') 2.8 acres of recreation area (including 3 recreation tracts totaling 2.2 acres) was provided. The revised P.D. plan adds one lot to the southeastern recreation tract resulting in a total recreation area of 3.1 acres (includes 3 recreation tracts totaling 2.5 acres. On the expanded tract. the revised P D plan proposes two tennis courts, a small parking area. and a grassed playfield/playground area. By expanding the tract by one lot. the total number of lots within the project is reduced from 164 to 163 lots. The proposed changes are summarized as follows: January 9th/ "Old" Plan Revised Plan 164 lots 2.08 units/acre 2.8 acres recreation area 163 lots 2.06 units/acre 3.1 acres recreation area Staff has reviewed the proposed changes and supports approval of the revised P.D. plan with all originally recommended approval conditions together with a new condition that requires 3.1 acres of total recreation area as shown on the revised P.D. plan. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the revised P.D. plan for the Legend Lakes project, with the following conditions: 1. That 3.1 acres of recreation area be provided as shown on the revised P.D. plan. 2. Caribbean fruit fly host plants are prohibited within the project area. 3.
