Recycled Paper VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA VILLAGE COUNCIL May 24, 2000 Staff Report and Recommendations for Development Review Committee (DRC) and Site Plan Review (SPR) Background: Tract `D' is platted within the Tequesta Country Club. In 1965, Mr. & Mrs. Perry Como built a single-family residence on the 2.5-acre lot. The lot is much larger than the average lot within the Country Club. The applicant proposes to leave the residence intact and create an additional lot on each side of the home. Tract `D' will be subdivided into three parcels, all of which must meet the site regulations of the Village of Tequesta R-1A Single Family Dwelling District outlined in the Village of Tequesta Comprehensive Zoning Code. Staff Report and Comments: An informal Development Review Committee process was performed on May 19, 2000. Chief Steve Allison, Chief Jim Weinand, Gary Preston, Russell White, Kara Irwin and Scott Ladd were all represented in the review. Staff's review, comments and requests are outlined below: Comments by Scott D.Ladd,Director of Community Development: • This proposed extension of Yacht Club Place,serving three lots, needs to be a Public Right-of-Way(R.O.W.) except that all maintenance obligations must be borne by the three property owners due to the uniqueness of this proposed R.O.W. The maintenance obligation must be set forth in the proposed plat as a dedication. • There cannot be any gate or gates installed at the entry feature for this proposed extension of Yacht Club Place. • Applicant needs to submit the zoning technical requirements for the built out lot #2, such as, lot coverage, setbacks,building height,etc. • Soil borings and analysis is required in order to determine the composition of the sub-soils and their ability to support the proposed R.O.W.and the dwellings that would be built on lots 1 &3. • In order for the proposed RO.W. to be public, even with certain restrictions, the proposed property boundary lines as currently drawn do not reflect the intent to provide a public R.O.W. The property lines for lots 2&3 should be adjusted to be at the south line of the proposed R.O.W.and at the south line of the proposed utility& drainage easement.(See yellow highlighted boundaries on survey) • The existing utility building is currently non-conforming to the zoning code. This building should be relocated or removed. • The proposed RO.W. as I have highlighted it in yellow on my review survey is the most likely layout for the public access to the three proposed properties. The boundary survey and the subsequent plat should set forth fully the dimensions and total square foot area of the proposed public R.O.W. The proposed R.O.W. does not have to be the entire driveway as currently depicted on the survey as long as there is an ingress/egress easement provided by the three property owners regarding driveway areas lying outside of the yellow highlighted area as depicted on my copy of the boundary survey. • The applicant needs to provide a written list of any subdivision requirements that cannot be fully met and indicate to what extent they can be met. If waivers and/or variances are needed,these also should be identified. • An appropriate Street lighting plan should be provided for these three proposed lots. • All parcels attached across road right of way must have a unity of title in order Comments by Kara L.Irwin,Planner • Need green space%for Lot 2; Requirement 30%green open space. • Max. Driveway width @property line,35' total(max.). Lot 2 has 80' of access at the property line. • Need lot coverage for lot 2,max. lot coverage allowed 37%. ,` • Extract dedicated public road right of way from zoning analysis from figures. • Need drainage/environmental statement describing how proposed development will affect the estuarine water quality of the class III waters of the Village of Tequesta. • Private drives are prohibited; every subdivided lot or property shall be served from a publicly dedicated street. • Sidewalk 5' in width or greater required. • Pool cannot be screened in without variance since it does not meet the required setback. Comments by Chief James M.Weinand,Fire Chief • It appears that the roadway width diminishes;I would request that the roadway surface be a minimum of 20 feet for two-way travel. • There must be a provision added to assure that the gate on this roadway does not reappear. Comments by Russell K.White,Facilities Supervisor • The existing water service to the property will service lot#3. • Two(2)new services will be installed for lots 1 &2 when Phase 1 of the Tequesta Peninsula Project is done. • If there are any changes to the existing pavement in the right-of-way,such as grass and shrubs,it will have to be swaled per Village Ordinance. Comments by Gary Preston,Director of Public Works&Recreation • Please advise owner/contractor that all new roadways that are maintained by the Village must meet certain construction standards. I have attached a Village of Tequesta Typical Roadway Section for owner/contractor review.(Typical Roadway attached to DRC Report) Comments by Chief Steve Allison,Police • I have reviewed the proposed subdivision of`Tract D' in the Country Club. At this time I have no concerns except for a proper numbering system for the new lots. Staff Recommendation: The Council must first approve/approve with changes the sketch plan prior to the applicant submitting for the preliminary and/or final plat approval. The technical problems associated with meeting code standards and criteria can be worked out in the preliminary and final plat approval process. The applicant proposes to request Council approval of a twenty(20)foot right-of-way in lieu of the design criteria standard of 60 feet for local streets and a road width of seventeen (17) feet at one point. The Council may approve the request, at their discretion, in order to meet a particular situation where natural conditions make continuance or conformance to existing streets impractical. This has been done in other subdivisions within the Village of Tequesta. In addition, the applicant proposes to request a variance to the sidewalk requirement due to the fact that there are no sidewalks in the adjacent areas. The Department of Community Development recommends requiring the placement of a sidewalk within the subdivision,as is required of all new subdivisions. Jim Burg Custom Homes,Inc.

VILLAGE OF June 23, 2000 (Flh ±l�N 2 3not) Village of Tequesta Scott Ladd ;i i'A I i i LN' Ur. ,2L)MMIJ P. O. Pox 3273 NITr ;f:\�t .�:!'"y'i.'�I Tequesta,FL 33469-0273 Dear Scott, The following is in response to the Village Of Tequesta Staff report and comments dated May 24,2000 in reference to tract "D"within the Tequesta Country Club. For the record this tract will be now referenced as The RePlat of Yacht Club Point. Also included with this letter is a copy of the preliminary plat for your review, if it is possible please make it available for the staff and council as well for their review. Comments by Scott D. Ladd, Director of Community Development: 1) The proposed extension of Yacht Club Place,serving three lots, needs to be a Public Right-of-way (R.O.W.) except that all maintenance obligations must be borne by the three property owners due to the uniqueness of this proposed R.O.W. The maintenance obligations must be set forth in the proposed plat as a dedication. See Plat and home owner's association documents. 2)There cannot be any gate or gates installed at the entry feature for the proposed extension of Yacht Club Place. The existing gates will be removed from the entry feature. The proposed home owners covenants and restrictions will prohibit the installation of any gate or gates in the future. 3) Applicant needs to submit the zoning technical requirements for the built out lot#2, such as, lot coverage, setbacks, building height, etc. a) Lot coverage equals 29%. Maximum allowed is 37%. b) Setbacks are meet please refer to the site plan. c) Building Height equals 25.6 feet with 2 stores. Maximum for 2 story residence equals 30 feet. d) Open or green space equals 39%. Minimum requirement is 30%. 4) Soil borings and analysis is required in order to determine the composition of the sub-soils and there ability to support the proposed R.Q.W. and the dwellings that would be built on lots#1 & #3. Soil borings were done on May 3, 2000. The report has been attached for the Village review. As per the Village building code any undesirable soils must be removed and replaced with suitable soil before construction may begin on any structure. 5) In order for the proposed R.O.W. to be public, even with certain restrictions, the proposed property boundary lines as currently drawn do not reflect the intent to provide a public R.O.W. The property lines for lots 2 & 3 should be adjusted to be at the South line of the proposed R.O.W. and at the South line of the proposed utility &drainage easement. (see yellow highlighted boundaries on survey). See Plat. 6) The existing utility building is currently non-conforming to the zoning code, This building should be relocated or removed. The applicant is requesting a variance for the structure to stay in its current location. Based on the fact that it has already been permitted by the village and has been there for over 30 years. 7) The proposed R.O.W. as I have Highlighted it in yellow on my review survey is the most likely layout for the public access to the three proposed properties. The boundary survey and the subsequent plat should set forth fully the dimensions and total square foot area of the proposed public R.O.W. The proposed R.O.W. does not have to be the entire driveway as currently depicted on the survey as long as there is an ingress/egress easement provided by the three property owners regarding driveway areas lying outside of the yellow highlighted area as depicted on my copy of the boundary survey. The total square foot area of the proposed public R.O.W. equals 5014 square feet. For the second part of this comment please see the plat. 8)The applicant needs to provide a written list of any subdivision requirements that cannot be fully met and indicate to what extent they cannot be met. If Waivers and/or variances are needed, these also should be identified. a)A variance is being ask to let the existing storage building remain. b) The applicant is asking for the sidewalk requirement be postponed for the time being due to the fact there are no other sidewalks within the Tequesta Country Club. See response to #7 of Kara L. Irwin comments. c) Due to the vary low traffic the applicant is asking for the road width to be 17 feet at its narrowest point, however the majority of the road is twenty feet. The 17 feet will be located in front of the drive at lot 2 giving 20 feet of open space. 9) An appropriate Street lighting plan should be provided for these three proposed lots. The applicant will conform to the towns street lighting requirements once they are established by the town council. Comments by Kara L. Irwin, Planner 1) Need green space percentage for lot#2; Requirement 30% green open space. Open or green space equals 39%. Minimum requirement is 30%. 2) Max. Driveway width © property line, 35'total (max.). Lot 2 has 80' of access at the property line. The proposed drive as depicted on the site plan will have a maximum of 35 feet of driveway width at the R.O.W of Yacht Club Place_ 3) Need lot coverage for lot 2, max. lot coverage allowed 37%. Lot coverage equals 29%. Maximum allowed is 37%. 4) Extract dedicated public road right of way from zoning analysis from figures. The proposed R.O_W. square footage has been removed from zoning analysis calculations. 5) Need drainage/environmental statement describing how proposed development will affect the estuarine water quality of the class III waters of the Village of Tequesta. A report has been prepared by Environmental services on June 16, 2000. A copy is attached for the Village staffs review. 6) Private drives are prohibited; every subdivision lot or property shall be served from a publicly dedicated street. The proposed extension of Yacht Club Place on the proposed plat will be dedicated to the public, but maintained by the three lot owners within the Yacht Club Point plat. See H.O.A. documents. 7) Sidewalk 5' in width or greater required. The applicant is requesting a variance from this requirement. Because there are no other sidewalks within the Tequesta Country Club and there for this sidewalk will no purpose because it will not lead anywhere. However, if the Village creates a program for sidewalks to be installed throughout the Tequesta Country Club the applicant will make provisions in the home owner's documents which will require the three home owners to participate in such program and pay for their portion. 8) Pool can not be screened in without variance since it does not meet the required setback. The survey has been corrected and the rear setback to the existing pool deck is 10 feet. Therefore a screen enclosure would be allowed. Comments by Chief James M. Wienand. Fire Chief 1) It appears that the roadway width diminishes; I would request that the roadway surface be a minimum of 20 feet for two-way travel. Due for the vary low traffic because the road extension is only serving two residences, the applicant is asking for the road width be 17 feet at its narrowest point, however the majority of the road will be twenty feet. The 17 feet will be located in front of the drive at lot 2 giving 20 feet of open space_ 2) There must be a provision added to assure that the gate on this roadway does not reappear. The existing gates will be removed from the entry feature. The proposed home owners covenants and restrictions will prohibit the installation of any gate or gates in the future. Comments by Russell K.White, Facilities Supervisor 1) The existing water service to the property will service lot#3. 2) Two (2) new services will be installed for lots#1 &#2 when phase 1 of the Tequesta Peninsula Project K done. 3) If there are any changes to the existing pavement in the right-of-way, such as grass and shrubs, it will have to be swaled per Village Ordinance.

Director of Works& Recreation 1) Please advise owner/contractor that all new road ways that are maintained by the Village of Tequesta must meet certain construction standards. I have attached a Village of Tequesta typical roadway section for owner/contractor review.(Typical roadway attached to DRC report) The Maintenance of the extension of Yacht Club Place will be born by the three lot owners within the proposed subdivision. This provision will be part of the recorded documents and made part of the plat Comments by Chief Steve Allison, Police 1) I have reviewed the proposed subdivision of'Tract D' in the Country Club.
