Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to plan for smart and balanced growth.
Executive Summary (General Business): This application is to add a typical right-of-way section to the concept plan for phase 3A and 3B of the Sawgrass Lakes Planned Unit Development (PUD). The new section will show the right-of-way without the street trees or sidewalk. The request intends to exempt the project from the installation of the sidewalks, allow the several pieces of existing sidewalks in front of the single-family lots to be removed, and allow the missing 57 street trees to be planted in the preserve area in lieu of the right-of-way.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the amendment as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board on December 1, 2020.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the amendment.
2. Move that the Council not approve the amendment and provide staff direction.
Background: The Sawgrass Lakes Planned Unit Development (PUD) (P02-197) was approved by Ordinance 02-13 on December 9, 2002. The concept plan attached to the ordinance shows a street right-of-way section that includes street trees and sidewalks.
The Estates at Sawgrass Lakes-Sawgrass Lakes Phase 3 Plat was approved on August 23, 2004 by City Council. The construction and landscape plans show 75 lots with one street tree per lot and the sidewalk. A bond was issued to the City on February 3, 2005 to cover the cost of the project’s infrastructure and street trees. This bond has expired due to statute of limitations.
Paramount Quality Homes, Corp was the developer responsible for the project in 2008. The developer foreclosed on the property on 2008. On December 22, 2009 the remaining 63 lots of the 75 were deeded to Paar Estates Developing LLC. Paar Estates Developing LLC was the successor developer. John Rynard is the managing member of Paar Estates Developing, LLC. Public Works Department requested Mr. Rynard to provide a bond for the project in 2018. Mr. Rynard did not provide the bond. Paar Estates Developing LLC, Mr. Rynard, has since abandoned the project and Paar Estates at Sawgrass Lakes Property Owners Association is now the successor developer.
Paar Estates at Sawgrass Lakes Property Owners Association has submitted the application requesting to be exempt from the required infrastructure improvements for sidewalks and to be able to place the street trees in the preserve instead of along the right-of-way on the individual lots. The association is assuming the responsibility for continuing operations and maintenance of Phases 3A & B of Sawgrass Lakes.
