Title
Orange Blossom Replat #1 - Preliminary Plat - Waiver Request to a Preliminary Plat in Review
Project #2025050013 #32811 Parcel #47695-000-01
Clymer Farner Barley, Inc
LDC 6.12.12(D) - Sidewalks
CODE states 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 request per previous discussion with Marion County, it is our understanding that they would support a fee in lieu of waiver for sidewalks considering none of the roadways in the Orange Blossom Hills subdivision have sidewalks, and we are trying to ensure our design fits in with what currently exists around it.
LDC 6.11.4 - Access Management
CODE states A. All developments shall be responsible for ensuring and providing coordinated access to, from, and between the proposed development and the surrounding lands to ensure that adequate and managed access is available to the development project and the public. Residential development with more than 50 developable lots shall have at minimum two access points. B. Cross Access (Parallel Access). (1) Cross access is required to reduce the use of the public street system, provide for movement between adjacent and complementary land uses, limit access to Arterial and Collector roads, and minimize full median openings. Cross access shall be shown on the plans and shall be established through a public easement. (2) Cross access shall be provided and constructed for all commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential development on arterial and collector roads unless it is determined by the County Engineer to not be practical or reasonable due to adjacent features, specific type of development, or the potential development of the adjacent property. (3) Refer to Section 7.3.1 for construction details. C. Access to adjacent lands. (1) Access to adjacent unplatted land or development shall be provided by the continuation of the Major Local rights-of-way centered on section or quarter section lines, when possible, to the subdivision boundary. (2) Access to adjacent platted lands shall be provided at selected points, as approved by the County, by extending an existing or proposed street to the subdivision boundary. (3) Gated subdivisions or internal residential pods served by Major Local roads are exempt from the requirements in (1) and (2) above. D. Access to adjacent commercial development. Single family residential subdivisions fronting on collector or arterial roads shall provide for interconnection to adjacent non-residential development unless approved by the County Engineer. E. No fence, wall, hedge, shrub, structure or other obstruction to vision, between a height of two and one-half feet and eight feet above the center line grades of the intersecting streets, shall be erected, placed or maintained within a triangle formed by the point of intersection of right-of-way lines abutting a street and/or railroad right-of-way and the points located along the right-of-way lines (use distance in table below) from the point of intersection. Refer to Table 6.11-1 and details in Section 7.3.1
APPLICANT request - "Connection to SE 158th Pl is challenging from an engineering standpoint for several reasons: 1. It is one of the lowest areas of the property, at approximately 83 feet in elevation. The highest tie in grade on the east side of the property is elevation of 97 feet. Trying to make up 14 feet of grade change within the subdivision considering the property width causes steep yard slopes, stem walls and retaining walls. 2. Connection to SE 158th Pl causes significant stormwater issues. The topography is generally falling from east to west, and per the LDC there is a minimum requirement for soil boring quantity and spacing. Once you size a pond in the depressional area that holds the pre/post for the subdivision and recovers in 14 days, the required amount of borings forces a few of the borings to be at higher elevations, resulting in a heavy cut condition. This generates more fill, which makes the grading from reason #1 more difficult, but also results in higher seasonal high water level readings on the higher borings. This causes the pond bottom elevation to rise, which also pushes up the pond top of bank. The drainage design for the pond resulted in a pond bottom elevation of 84, and a pond top of 88 to hold the pre/post and recover in 14 days. The connection to SE 158th Pl is at an elevation of 83, rendering it impossible to capture and treat a significant amount of impervious area.
