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 10/20/25 DRC Meeting, Steven Cohoon motioned supporting a fee in lieu of sidewalk construction along US Hwy 441 & SE 92nd Place Rod due to an FDOT sidewalk project planned for constriction at this location within the next year according to Ken Odom. SE 92nd Place Road is in the County's approximate 20-year plan to be widened, and existing roadside swales will not allow for a sidewalk.
LDC 6.8.6.K(3) Buffers
CODE states: C-Type buffer shall consist of a 15-foot wide landscape strip without a buffer wall. The buffer shall contain at least two shade trees and three accent/ornamental trees for every 100 lineal feet or fractional part thereof. Shrubs and groundcovers, excluding turfgrass, shall comprise at least 50 percent of the required buffer and form a layered landscape screen with a minimum height of three feet achieved within one year.
APPLICANT request: During Conceptual Plan review, staff informed that the railway along the easter property would require a Type C landscape buffer. A waiver is requested to use existing vegetation along the eastern property boundary in lieu of the required Type C buffer. Susan Heyen mentioned staff supporting this waiver during the 10/9/25 DRC Staff meeting.
LDC 6.14.2. Connection requirements

Refer to Sec. 6.15.3.B for fire hydrant installation requirements. (4) When property is within connection distance to sewer:(a) Sewer main shall be extended by Developer to the closest point of service. (b)Sewer gravity main shall be extended by the Developer as directed by MCU.

Based on the proposed 2,432 SF office, the required connection for sewer is 758 feet. A waiver is requested to use a nitrogen-reducing septic system in lieu of having to connect to public sewer.
