195	LDWA-2022-50	Clark Access via Easement to White Road Waiver	Requesting to appeal the Denial of Project #: LDASE-2021-17. I disagree with the ruling because I feel that your suggestion that I must own a flag portion of land that has direct frontage on a county maintained road does not take into consideration the portion of the Land Development Code Section 705.A.2.b.iii. which allows for a legally established easement consistent with the requirements outlined in Section 705 B. I feel that I meet all requirements of Section 705.B in the following manner: I have met section 705.A.2.b.iii by purchasing a 40ft (legally deeded) easement across the southern portion of the neighbor’s property from Walters/Wright road to my SE property line. I have met section 705 B part 1.a in that there will be no more than 4 lots on this property. I have met section 705 B part 1.b in that the width of the easement is 40ft. I have met section 705 B part 1.c in that the easement is only 637ft which does not exceed 0.25 miles (1,320 ft) in length. I have met section 705 B part 1.d in that the easement provides sufficient ingress and egress for fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, and emergency vehicles. I have met section 705 B part 1.e in that I have a legal (deeded) easement proving the agreement of the neighboring property owner. I have met section 705 B part 2 in that the parent tract (prior to subdividing) directly fronts on a public paved road meeting County standards. I have met section 705 B part 3 in that the property is not eligible for lots created as part of large unrecorded subdivisions. I have met section 705 B part 4 in that the property is not part of an undeveloped recorded subdivision where infrastructure does not exist. I have met section 705 B part 5 in that the property is not located in the Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern. I am requesting to meet section 705 B part 6 by requesting a Level 1 Review of my request for waiver for Access Solely by Easement (LDASE-2021-17). I don’t think section 705 B part 7 is applicable at this time. I do not think Chapter 8 of the LDC is applicable due to section 802 B part 1 in that there is no request for construction of new roadways and the parent parcel has not been divided in the previous three years. I do not think section 821 A, B, or D applies in that no roadways or residential lots are impacted by the previously deeded easement. I do not think section 822 applies in that there is no road frontage for this property. I do not think section 830 applies in that there are surrounding properties currently addressed using the Uniform Street Address System and this property will not exceed that numbering system. I feel that I have addressed each of the sections of code in question, please let me know if there is a specific portion of the code that I have not met?	0 Walters Rd., Haines City	APPROVED

14	LDCU-2022-40	Hunter Mobile Home Conditional Use	The land (Parcel ID: 272601-000000-041030) is intended to be used for a mobile home (approx. 1500 sq-ft), with 3 car detached garage/pole barn (approx. 1000 sq-ft) and boat canopy (approx. 800 sq-ft) in the RL-4X district of the Ronald Reagan SAP (see attached Site Plan Drawing). All structures will maintain the minimum setback of 5 feet to all side and rear property lines and 10 feet from the road; and buffer of 25 feet to wetlands. There is a forced main waste water line running along Old Lake Wilson Road, but since there is no gravity waste water system available in the area, it is proposed to install a septic system with below ground drain field. Soil surveys have been performed of the proposed area (see attached) and found to be acceptable for a below ground drain field. For water, it is currently planned to install a private fresh water well as opposed to tying into the water main along Old Lake Wilson Road which is more than 800 feet away from the location of the mobile home. Natural drainage is from the higher elevation uplands on the east side of the property which is sloped to the west towards the wetlands.	0 Old Lake Wilson Rd., Davenport	Pending Hearing

NOTE(S):
If the applicant misses their scheduled DRC meeting, the request will be continued to the next meeting. However, all DRC comments must be addressed before the case can be scheduled for hearing. Applications submitted in advance of the deadline may be scheduled for an earlier DRC meeting date.

Based on the 2011 Legislative Session, local governments have been afforded more flexibility with timing of Comprehensive Plan Amendments. If a State, resource is not being impacted than it is anticipated that the State will have a limited role in reviewing the amendment. However, all amendments impacting a state resource including the Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) are required to have a full State review.

Pursuant to HB 487 adopted on July 1, 2021, all Comprehensive Plan Amendments less than 50 acres are considered small scale and will only have one hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. Exception: if the property is within in the Green Swamp area of Critical State Concern it will follow the protocol as noted above.

Level 4 BoCC hearing dates are tentative. Scheduling depends on the caseload for the BoCC agenda.
