Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority dated October 16, 1997
Florida Keys Electric Cooperative dated October 20, 1997
Florida Health Department dated October 28, 1997
Monroe County Fire Marshal's Office dated October 10, 1997
South Florida Water Management District dated October 9,1997
Florida Department of Transportation dated October 17, 1997
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service dated October 31, 1997; and
WHEREAS I based on the information and documentary evidence
submitted, the Development Review Committee made the following
findings of fact and conclusions of law:
1. Based on the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan, the Committee
finds that that the future land use designation is Mixed
Use/Commercial (MC) I which does not allow residential us-
es. Therefore I the Committee concludes that the proposed
project, while in compliance with the Suburban Residential
(SR) zoning, is not in compliance with the Comprehensive
Plan.
2. Based on the site plan, the allocated density allows for
4.8 DU and maximum net density allows for 24.2 DU. While
the 20 condominiums planned for the site are not in compli-
ance, the applicant has stated the intent of purchasing the
TDRs needed to comply with this issue. Therefore I the Com-
mittee concludes that the condominiums are not in compli-
ance with Sec. 9.5-269 until the TDRs needed for the site
are acquired.
3. Based on all of the plans submitted, there is an inconsis-
tency regarding the location of three (3) of the buildings
as related to the required 20' setback. Therefore, the
Committee concludes that the project is not in compliance
with Sec. 9.5-286 and that this inconsistency must be elimi-
nated and every building must comply with the 20' setback
before any building permits are issued.

Initial-1!1.-
4. Based on the elevation drawings, the height of the condomin-
iums is 35' - 0" . However, this height does not state the
existing grade nor does it address the VE 13' flood zone of
units "A", "B", and "E". These three (3) units must be
altered to be built at or below the 35'-0" height limit.
Therefore, the Committee concludes that the project is not
in compliance with Sec. 9.5-283.
5. Based on the existing site conditions plan, the I Planting
Details I lists the required number of shrubs in the SRlsc
bufferyard as 30. The required number of shrubs is 42.
There is also a garbage dumpster located in the eastern
bufferyard near Unit "E". Therefore I the Committee con-
cludes that the project is not in compliance with Sec. 9.5
377.
6. Based on the floor plans and the existing site conditions
plan, the design of the parking spaces below the buildings
does not indicate where any of these could be converted to
handicap spaces if required by a condominium owner I the
handicap visitor spaces are shown as 20' long instead of
the required 21' I and these spaces do not have the required
five (5) foot wide striped access aisles. Therefore, the
Committee concludes that the project is not in compliance
with Sec. 9.5-351.
7. Based on the conceptual drainage plan and stormwater calcu-
lations, the proj ect appears to be in compliance. The
drainage plan, however I conflicts with the site plan. The
County Engineer shall determine if compliance has been
met. Therefore I the Committee concludes that compliance
with Sec. 9.5-293 shall be determined by the County Engi-
neer.
8. Based on the site plan, the applicant has proposed an on-
site package sewage system. A letter of coordination has
been initiated with the Department of Health but not enough
information was provided for that department to make a pre-
liminary determination. Therefore I the Committee concludes
that compliance with Sec. 9.5-294 cannot be determined un-
til the Department of Health is able to make a determina-
tion for the project.
9. Based on the elevation plans and FIRM panel 1581, the
height of these structures is 35'-0", the first floor eleva-
tion is 12'-7", and three (3) of these structures are locat-
ed in a VE 13' flood zone. Additionally, the boat storage
buildings are required to meet FEMA regulations regarding
their location on the site plan. Therefore I the Committee
concludes that the project is not in compliance with Sec.
9.5-317.
10.
Based on
44" wide
the existing site conditions plan, the required
access from the handicap parking spaces to the

InitialL
elevators is not shown, these spaces are not reasonably
close to the condominiums, and several require traveling
behind other parked vehicles. Therefore, the Committee
concludes that the project is not in compliance with Chap-
ter 522, F.S.u
11. Based on the conceptual site conditions plan, the location
of the three (3) garbage dumpsters does not appear to be
easily accessible to garbage collection vehicles. There-
fore, the Committee concludes that the Monroe County Recy-
cling Department must state that these locations are easily
accessible, and that until such time these dumpster loca-
tions are not in compliance with the required recycling
plan.
WHEREAS, the Development Review Committee, based on its
findings of fact, recommended that the Planning Director grant
minor conditional use approval to Grande Harbor Ocean Club; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Director has duly considered the rec-
ommendation of the Development Review Committee and the informa-
tion and documentary evidence submitted; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Director does not fully concur with
the Finding No. 1 of the Development Review Committee that the
Mixed Use/Commercial (MC) future land use designation of the
property does not allow residential uses and finds that Policy
101.4.5 of the Year 2 010 Comprehensive Plan does provide that
various types of residential uses may be permitted within this
future land use category; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Director finds that attached residen-
tial uses are allowed within both the Suburban Residential land
use district and the Mixed Use land use district; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Director finds that the Mixed Use
land use district is consistent with the Mixed Use/Commercial
future land use category; and
WHEREAS I the Planning Director concludes that the proposed
attached residential development is consistent with both the
Suburban Residential land use district and the Mixed
Use/Commercial future land use designation; and
WHEREAS I the Planning Director finds that all allowable
uses within the Mixed Use/Commercial land use category are not
fully compatible with uses permitted within the Suburban Residen-
tial land use disctrict; and
WHEREAS I the Planning Director does find that Suburban Resi-
dential is fully consistent with the future land use category of
Residential Low; and

MGRANDEH.05/TXTDR
Initial~
WHEREAS, the Planning Director concludes that the future
land use designation of the property requires being amended to
Residential Low to ensure the long term development of the sub-
j ect property is fully consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Director supports the recommendation
of the Development Review Committee to approve the minor condi-
tional use application submitted by Grande Harbor Ocean Club;
and

sions of law adopted by the Development Review Committee I as
