The perimeter setback areas run between the golf course and the project perimeter. While <br /> formal golf course improvements ( tees , greens , bunkers , fairways ) are not allowed in the <br /> perimeter setback, the area will most likely be used by players and would appear to the player <br /> or observer to be part of the course. <br /> When the lake area ( 120. 7 acres ) , the recreation area ( 183 . 3 acres ) , and the perimeter buffer <br /> (21 .0) acres are totaled, the result is 325 acres or 38 . 73 % of the site . This exceeds the 30% <br /> limitation of 251 . 7 acres . Staff acknowledges that some project perimeter buffer and lake <br /> area might not function as recreational area if isolated from the golf course or recreational <br /> paths . However, because the amount of recreation area proposed by the applicant potentially <br /> exceeds the maximum recreation area allowed by 73 . 3 acres, and because the applicant has <br /> not yet provided detailed drawings and calculations to address this issue , it cannot be <br /> concluded at this time that the recreation area requirement is satisfied . <br /> 12. Clustering : As explained in the introduction to the staff report, the comprehensive plan <br /> requires that Agricultural Planned Development projects cluster the lots within the <br /> development. The applicant is proposing to spread the lots out, throughout the golf course , <br /> so that each lot has frontage on the golf course . This is a conventional golf course <br /> community design that is proposed in an agricultural area outside of the urban service area . <br /> In this case , the applicant is attempting to take advantage of some of the benefits offered to <br /> AG PDs like connection to public water, which is necessary for true clustering, without <br /> meeting clustering criteria. The clustering criteria incorporated in the comprehensive plan <br /> should result in tightly grouped lots in compact and contiguous areas and should locate <br /> residential developments a significant distance away from adjacent agricultural properties . <br /> The proposed clustering does neither. <br /> Public water and sewer are required to serve compact cluster designs because the Health <br /> Department cannot approve the use of septic systems in such a layout . Examples of <br /> developments with this type of layout include Windsor and Pointe West, both of which <br /> feature golf courses and have lots without golf course frontage . Thus , compact clustering <br /> without providing golf course frontage on every lot is possible if the appropriate utility <br /> services are provided. In summary, staff does not believe the development meets the <br /> agricultural PD clustering requirement . <br /> 13. Stormwater Management : The Public Works Department has reviewed and approved a <br /> conceptual stormwater plan . If the project is approved, a detailed engineering stormwater <br /> plan will be reviewed and approved as part of the land development permit . The applicant <br /> will need to obtain a county Type ' B " stormwater permit prior to the issuance of a land <br /> development permit. A county Type "C" permit will be required in conjunction with the <br /> single- family building permit application for each individual lot . <br /> 14, Utilities: The applicant is proposing to service the site with public water and on -site septic . <br /> The comprehensive plan allows for the extension of county water and sewer outside of the <br /> Urban Service Area for agricultural planned developments , subject to Utility services <br /> approval and approval of a developer' s agreement for such service . These utility provisions <br /> have been approved by the Department of Utility Services and the Environmental Health <br /> Department, subject to the above referenced developer ' s agreement being approved by the <br /> Board of County Commissioners prior to the issuance of a land development permit . <br /> April 17 , 2001 <br /> 30 <br /> 8 { 1 0 <br />
