Background
The Planning Commission granted preliminary plat approval for a subdivision
on Rockland Key on January 11, 2006. The applicant is Rockland Investment
Corporation, Inc. The development project is known as Rockland Key
Commerce Center. The preliminary plat was approved with specific conditions
to be satisfied before filing for final plat approval. The conditions included
requirements for obtaining necessary permits from State agencies and the
provision of financial guarantees and maintenance agreements for infrastructure
improvements.
The applicant has made substantial progress toward satisfying the conditions for
filing for final plat approval, but needs more time to obtain the necessary permits
from State agencies.
Pursuant to Section 9.5-83 (f) Limitation on Approval of Preliminanj Plat, Monroe
County Code, the applicant has one (1) year after preliminary plat approval is
granted to file for final plat approval, and unless an extension is granted by the
Board of County Commissioners, the approval of the preliminary plat is
automatically rendered null and void. Therfore the applicant is requesting an
extension to file for final plat approval.
Staff Recommendation
Approval of extension of final plat approval for Rockland Investment corporation, Inc.
Staff is recommending a one (1) year extension for the applicant to apply for final
plat approval.

Re: Rockland Key Commerce Center
Plat of Subdivision Approval
Dear Aref,
As you may recall, the Planning Commission granted Preliminary Plat approval for the Rockland
Key Commerce Center early last year. Since that time we have been pursuing the required
regulatory approvals for the construction of the infrastructure and the submittal of the Final Plat
application. The following summarizes the status of the required approvals:
· South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Environmental Resource Permit
(ERP) #060925-15, submitted September 16, 2006
· Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT): Driveway Application 2006 A 692 17,
original submittal on 10/18106
· Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT): Drainage Application #2006 D 692 8,
original submittal on 10/18/06
· Florida Key Aqueduct Authority (FKAA): Water Main Extension Permit # 1688-06
Issued September 20, 2006
· FDEP: General Use Permit to construct extension of Public Water Supply Distribution
System #268632-001- DSGP
· Keys Energy: Underground Electric & Communications Infrastructure Job # ER 2882-
06 dated 4/21/06
· Monroe County Engineering Department: Coordination is pending Final Plat approval.
It is our expectation that the required Agency Permits (ERP and FDOT) will be issued within 90
to 120 days. At that time we will be able to submit a complete application for Final Plat
approval. As a result, we respectfully request that the Board Of County Commissioners grant us
an extension to Sec. 9.5-84 of the Monroe County Code in order to allow us to complete this
process. I appreciate your consideration of our request and look forward to your response.
Please let me know if I can provide you anything further.
Sincerely,
Barbara Mitchell
Vice President
