Prior to consideration of this resolution by the Land Authority, the Growth Management Division staff will brief the Board of County Commissioners on the status of development approval for Phase 2 and any issues related to certification statements that may bave to be signed by the County Planning Director and County Engineer as part of Tradewind's application to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. In the attached memorandum, the Growth Management Director bas identified severa) actions that still need to be accomplished before Phase 2 of the project may proceed and concerns with two of the certification statements.

McGarry, AICP ~ Director of Growth Manage January 19,2001 DATE: SUBJECT: Status of Development Approvals for Phase 2 of the Tradewinds Hammocks Affordable Housing Development Overview To assist the Board of County Commissioners in its capacity as Land Authority, the Growth Management Division staff has prepared a report on the status of development approvals for Phase 2 (56 units) of the Tradewinds project and any issues related to signing certification statements generally required by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. Status of Development Approvals. Phase 2 of the Tradewinds Hammocks Affordable Housing Development has received development and site plan approval from the Planning Director. However, the approved development order for the project requires that certain approvals be obtained prior to building permits being issued: 1) ROGO Allocations: The applicant needs to receive 56 ROGO allocation awards, which includes 56 corresponding nutrient reduction credits. Unfortunately, with ROGO ending in July 2002, the Upper Keys has only a total of 83 allocations available in the remaining six quarters of ROGO for both market and affordable housing categories. It would be almost impossible for this project to successfully obtain the necessary 56 ROGO awards. The problem is further compounded by the acute shortage of nutrient reduction credits in the Upper Keys. which will not be relieved until some progress is made on constructing a central sewerage system. Some or a good portion of needed allocations for this project could conceivably be met by possible assignment of some of the lost "201" allocations that the County is currently seeking to recover through an agreement with DCA; however, the specifics of this agreement have yet to be negotiated, which would also have to address how 01/19/01 15:50 F~\ 3052892854 GROWTH MGMT I4J 03 nutrient reduction credits will be made available so that these allocations can be awarded. 2) Approval of Road Abandonments: Both Troupe Road and Buttonwood Lane need to be approved by the Board of County Commissioners for abandonment. To obtain this approval will require agreement by the owners of Trade winds Shopping Center and all the owners of approximately 19 lots along Buttonwood Lane. It is the staff's understanding that not all the owners of properties along Buttonwood Lane are amenable to the abandonment. If either of the two roads is not approved for abandonment, then the project can not be built, because it would be over density. The project site plan and development order would have to be amended to reflect required changes to bring the project into compliance. 3) Access: The applicant must get approval from the owners of the Tradewinds Shopping Center to obtain primary access for the project through the shopping center. Although the project will have a second, emergency access from Buttonwood Lane, without this primary access, the project can not proceed due to Fire Marshal concerns and the fact that its only access would be via a street traversing a residential subdivision. Certifications The Land Authority and Growth Management Division have not been provided any certification statements for signature concerning Phase 2 of the project. Based on the likelihood that these statements will be similar to those required for the Phase 1 application package submitted to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, the Growth Management Division has concerns certifying statements that verify the availability of infrastructure roads and consistency with zoning and land use regulations (see attached). At this time the project fails to adequately meet the second criterion listed in the statement verifying availability of infrastructure roads. because primary access to the property is contingent upon approval from Tradewinds Shopping Center. Such approval has yet to be received. The verification t~at the development is consistent with zoning and land use regulations can not be made, because of the problems identified concerning road abandonment, access, and the need for ROGO allocation awards.
