Summary Explanation/Background
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This plat is located on approximately 50.2 acres, on the southwest corner of Peters Road and Southwest 80 Terrace, in the City of Plantation. The plat was approved by the Board on July 7, 1987. The applicant is requesting approval for temporary access over an existing nonvehicular access line. The developer proposes to create a 50-foot temporary access opening located on Peters Road that is centered approximately 342 feet east of the western plat limit along Tract B (Exhibit 1). Temporary access is necessary for construction of a pool and delivery of construction materials to the site, and will terminate one year from Board approval.
Staff from Highway Construction and Engineering Division (“HCED”) have reviewed this request. To ensure this opening is temporary, HCED requires both a Temporary Vehicular Access agreement, which stipulates time limits and location, and a Security/Lien Agreement for Installation of Required Improvements, to remove and repair the right-of-way in the event the developer abandons the project. HCED staff have no objection to the temporary access opening subject to the conditions contained in the memorandum (Exhibit 2).
Based on the review and findings, staff recommends approval of this request, subject to the conditions contined in the HCED memorandum, which shall assure compliance with the standards and requirements of the Broward County Land Development Code.
