• TO: James E. Chandler Count} Administrator D. •AR MENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: 7 .JI Les Robert M. Keating, AICP Community Development Dir ctor FROM: Stan Boling. AICP Planning Director DATE: February 28. 2001 SUBJECT: REQUEST TO RESCIND RIVER ISLAND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) PLAN APPROVAL It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regularly scheduled meeting of March 6. 2001. BACKGROUND .At its meeting of January 9. 2001. the Board of County Commissioners voted 3-2 to approve the River Island PD project with conditions (see attachments 2 and 3 ). That project is located along the west shoreline of the Indian River Lagoon (see attachment #1). The approved PD plan stated that the project site area was 1.88 acres. and depicted the site area in bold lines. The site area depicted on the approved plan is landward ( west) of the site's lagoon mean high waterline and, as uplands. has a density of up to six units per acre based on the site's RM -6 zoning (Residential Multi -family up to 6 units/acre). Based upon the representations made on the PD plan. the plan was approved for 11 units on 1.88 acres. a density of 5.85 units per acre. After the January 91" Board meeting. a neighboring property owner. Ronald Spicer, questioned staff about the site area acreage figure. As a follow-up to that concern. staff asked the project engineer to re -verify the site area figure. The project engineer has now verified that the site area landward ( west) of the site's mean high water line is 1.67 acres, rather than the originally stated 1.88 acres (see attachment #5). Because 11 units on 1.67 acres would yield a density of more than 6 units per acre (6.59 units per acre), the site area error in the original PD plan is critical and must be corrected. The applicant proposes to address these discrepancies by correcting the site area figure and depiction on revised PD plans and by reducing the project from 11 units to 10 units on 1.67 acres (5.99 units per acre). Such changes would satisfy county requirements. Planning staff has coordinated with the county attorney's office and has determined that the Board's January 9'" PD plan approval needs to be rescinded due to errors shown on the PD plan and its resulting density discrepancy. Staff has also determined that the Board could approve a corrected and revised PD plan at a future public hearing. Staff now requests that the Board take action to rescind the January 9. 2001. PD plan approval for the River Island PD project and set a public hearing date to consider a corrected and revised River Island PD plan. March 6, 2001 109 Gil f B i 1 ��V i� L� •
