The City Commission adopt the proposed resolution.
explanation
This resolution converts a "conditional final plat" to a "final plat" and thereby allows the recordation of the plat in the Public Records of Alachua County. On December 19, 2017, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 160634, which approved the conditional final plat for "VILLAS AT BUCKRIDGE" located in the vicinity of the 4800 block of NW Avenue. This plat subdivides the land into 18 single-family residential lots, plus additional parcels for stormwater management, utilities, and common area. The subdivided lots will have only one access, from a private dead-end cul-de-sac road that extends south from NW 27th Avenue.
As a conditional final plat, Resolution No. 160634 required all subdivision improvements required per the ordinances of the City of Gainesville to be completed within two years of the effective date of that resolution. In addition, conditional final plats may not be recorded in the Public Records of Alachua County and no building permits may be issued on the property until the subdivision improvements have been completed and approved by the City and the conditional final plat has been converted to a final plat by the City Commission. Resolution No. 160634 and Section 30-3.39 of the Land Development Code allow the owner, upon completing the required subdivision improvements or the posting of security for the cost of the uncompleted improvements, to have the conditional final plat converted to final plat provided that all requirements and conditions of the Land Development Code applicable to final plat acceptance have been met. Conversion from conditional final plat to final plat by the City Commission allows the plat to be recorded in the Public Records of Alachua County and building permits to be issued.
The owner of the subdivision has submitted a final plat that substantially conforms to the conditional final plat that was approved by the City Commission on December 19, 2017, and has submitted security agreements to secure the cost of the uncompleted subdivision improvements, and the owner thereby requests the City Commission to accept and approve the final plat in accordance with the Land Development Code and Chapter 177 of the Florida Statutes.
