Clymer Farner Barley, Inc
LDC 6.12.12 - Sidewalks
CODE states A. Sidewalks shall be provided in the Urban Area, Rural Activity Centers, and Specialized Commerce Districts along arterial, collector, and major local streets where these streets adjoin the project and minimally along one side of the internal streets. Sidewalks shall be constructed with all-weather surfaces and shall meet Americans with Disabilities Act, Florida Building Code, and FDOT Design Standards. B. Sidewalks outside the right-of-way and independent of the street system are encouraged as an alternative to sidewalks parallel to a roadway, provided equivalent pedestrian needs are met. C. The sidewalk system shall provide connectivity between existing and proposed developments. D. At the discretion of the Development Review Committee, in lieu of construction along external streets, the developer may pay a sidewalk fee to the County in an amount necessary to complete construction. This amount shall be determined by the project engineer and approved by the County with payment required prior to final plan approval. The County may use these funds toward the construction of sidewalks throughout the County based on priorities established by the Board.
APPLICANT requests considering that there is no sidewalk infrastructure along this side of Pine Road, but an existing sidewalk across the street, we believe that an isolated segment at this location would not contribute to a meaningful pedestrian network at this time. We would also like to request a waiver to the construction of the sidewalks, and to the fee-in-lieu of construction. His House for Her is a non-profit organization serving women in the community, and the construction budget is limited.
