Staff explained that applicant is not seeking density increases or additional approved units, but will change some to single family-semi attached units, "essentially duplexes," while agreeing to keep at least 50 percent traditional unattached units.

Jay King, who resides nearby at River Wilderness said he was very concerned by the additional traffic volume that will be placed on county roads north of the River, particularly on Old Tampa Road, which he said was already prone to gridlock. King also noted several other developments in active construction phases that stand to compound the traffic burden. King proposed a complete traffic study north of the river be done before this project be approved.

Commissioner DiSabatino noted that FDOT is currently addressing those issues, which staff affirmed. Commissioner Benac confirmed with staff that a traffic study had been done to satisfy concurrency requirements in the area, and that the projects in place were part of that planning, with their impact considered. Commissioners noted also that since density wasn't an issue in the vote, it would also not have bearing.

The applicant explained that it was an effort to increase a previously-approved project from 31 to 38 units with the elimination of a cul de sac and neighborhood tie in to accommodate changes. Previous concerns had been voiced by residents regarding historic flood and drainage patterns and concerns that development on the area's high lands would compound flooding issues on their property, particularly to the West of the project. Applicant made modifications to address floodplain concerns (see attachments above).

 

Staff recommended approval with the agreed upon stipulations, noting that while the density was greater than surrounding neighborhoods, the plan nonetheless called for 43 percent open area and density reflected current trends in development based on market conditions (housed are being built smaller and closer to accomodate cheaper prices in a soft market).

The lane width of the roads (11 instead of 12) was a concern. Commissioner Chappie noted that there have been some issues where the narrower roads became an issue down the line. The applicant explained that while all other utilities were in full compliance with the land development code, the 11 foot width was incorporated as a speed deterrent, with contingencies in place to use a 12 foot width, but that they wanted to preserve the option of private or public roads for whatever developer they eventually sold it to Commissioner DiSabatino echoed concerns over future costs and voiced her preference for 12 foot widths.

 

There was also discussion over the fact that there was no turn lane to enter the development, meaning traffic would have to slow as cars waited to turn in, rather than go around. There is also no nearby southern access road because neighboring Grayhawk Landing is gated, meaning residents would have to go all the way to the Mill Creek subdivision to evacuate southbound.

Sandra Ferrell, who owns a home across the street on Upper Manatee River Road, said she still had concerns over drainage, which was echoed by another neighbor who complained about increased density. Commissioner DiSabatino, a former realtor, said that she empathized with landowners and understood that applicants were routinely coming forward with requests to increase density, but that it was "economics" and that the developments were "providing jobs and economic activity."
