The subject property is comprised of ±5.21 acres, and is located on the east side of NW 197^th Terrace and approximately 220 feet south of Peggy Road. Quail Roost Unit 2 is located to the north of the subject property and Alexander Court to the east.  The application materials include a survey of the property, depicting the location of an existing structure (pole barn) on the property. The applicant has indicated that this pole barn has been removed since submittal of this application.

The proposed subdivision is not currently within the City’s potable water and sanitary sewer service areas, and therefore, any future residential development on the proposed lots will be served by well and septic unless the lots come within the City’s potable water and sanitary service areas in the future. The applicant has submitted a copy of an Environmental Resource Permit issued by the Suwannee River Water Management District for this project. The applicant has also submitted proof that the lots meet the minimum Department of Health requirements for lots to be served by well and septic. An analysis of the development’s impact on other public facilities is provided within the staff report attached to this item.

The project meets the criteria established within Section 2.4.10(F)(1) of the City’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs) for review as a Minor Subdivision. In accordance with Section 2.4.10(F)(2), Minor Subdivisions are exempt from preliminary plat and construction plan review, but are required to obtain final plat approval. This application represents the final plat for the project.

Section 2.4.10(F)(3) establishes the standards for the approval of a minor subdivision. An analysis of the application’s compliance with the applicable standards of this section is provided within this report.

At the June 11, 2018 meeting, the City Commission unanimously approved deferring the application until the June 25, 2018 meeting to ensure all public notice requirements had been met.
