Title
Design Plat Approval - Ingleside Village Subdivision (B)
(Formal Quasi-Judicial) Petition 22SUB-06DB. Brown & Cullen, Inc., agent for Andrew Kaplan. Design plat approval of Ingleside Village Subdivision, for 10 lots on 1.16 acres more or less, having a density of 8.6 dwelling units per acre. Located between Northwest 17th Avenue and Northwest 18th Avenue and between Northwest 9th Street and Northwest 10th Street.
Explanation
The Development Review Board considered a request to approve a design plat of Ingleside Village Subdivision for 10 lots on 1.16 acres more or less, at a public hearing held March 9, 2006. By a vote of 5-0, the Development Review Board approved Petition 22SUB-06DB with staff conditions and with a recommendation to the City Commission to waive the sidewalk requirement.
The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide Block "F" of the Ingleside Subdivision, as recorded in Plat Book "C," Page 2 of the Public Records of Alachua County, Florida. Block "F" presently consists of six lots, some of which are occupied by a single-family dwelling and two accessory structures. The applicant intends to reconfigure the existing six lots to create a total of 10 lots for single-family residential development. The single-family dwelling will remain on the subject property, while the accessory buildings will be demolished.
At the Development Review Board meeting, planning staff explained that the applicant is required to provide a sidewalk along the abutting right-of-ways under Section 30-188(e)(5) of the City Land Development Code. However, the City Public Works Department does not support the provision of sidewalks within the abutting right-of-ways due to the absence of curb and gutter. According to the City Public Works Department, the lack of curb and gutter allows or encourages roadside vehicular parking that causes maintenance and safety problems. Modification of the standard requiring the provision of sidewalks within the right-of-ways abutting the proposed subdivision must be approved by the City Commission, as specified in Section 30-192(d) of the City Land Development Code.
