3. Review amendments
a. Privately Initiated Amendment to 4.08.07 SRA Designation
Rich Yovanovich, Attorney, Coleman Yovanovich Koester presented the proposed amendment.
Staff provided the document"Staff Comments for Privately Initiated LDC Amendment—LDC
section 4.08.07 SRA Designation" dated April 16, 2015 for information purposes.
Mr. Yovanovich noted during the processing of the application for the approval of the Ave Maria
community it came to light some of the processes and requirements could be changed to facilitate
processing these applications including:
• Allowing for deviation from the Development Document after the first application has been
submitted. such as those associated with
• Allowing for modifications to street cross sections Requiring Neighborhood Information
Meetings which are currently voluntary in the LDC. Including Planned Unit Development
amendments, both substantial and insubstantial should be allowed. The 5 year Annual
Review is not required in the Growth Management Plan, only the Land Development Code,
so the requirement should be eliminated.
He noted Staff reviewed the request and incorporated most of the recommended changes into the
proposed amendment.
The Committee reviewed the proposed amendment and discussed the following items with Staff
and Mr. Yovanovich including:
• Section 4.08.07F 4.b—Mr. Yovanovich reported the language in the Section should be
aligned with the Land Development Code PUD requirements, as necessary.
• Section 4.08.07F 4.b(5) "A substantial increase in the impacts of the development which
may include, but are not limited to, increases in traffic generation; changes in traffic
circulation; or impacts on other public facilities"; and Section 4.08.07F.b(6) "A change
that will result in land use activities that generate a higher level of vehicular traffic based
upon the Trip Generation Manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers" -
The Committee recommended consideration be given to changing language to address
overall traffic impacts in the area,(i.e. a use may increase traffic for one particular area,
but reduce it in another, lessening the overall impact to traffic in the area).
• Section 4.08.07F.4.b(7) - The Committee recommended the language read "A change
that will result in a requirement for increased stormwater retention or detention, or will
otherwise increase stormwater discharges.-
• Section 4.08.07F.4.c(1)— The Committee recommend identifying the Planning and
Department Director with a generic term in case the positions change in the future.

• Section 4.08.07J.1.b—The applicant proposes "Deviations from the cross sections set forth
in Figures 1-18 may be requested in the SRA Development Plan or an amendment to the
SRA Development Plan. Please see LDC section 4.08.07 J.8 for the deviation requirements
and criteria."Staff noted on page 1 of their comments, a concern is expressed the proposed
change delegates too much discretion to Staff for approving cross section deviations. The
Committee recommended Staff propose additional language to clam there has to be
justification for a deviation and it needs to be based on sound engineering practices.
• Section 4.08.07L - The Applicant proposes to eliminate the requirement for an SRA
Economic Assessment. Staff noted on pages 4 and 5 of their comments provided, they
recommend language for this Section and the applicant agreed with the proposed wording.
The Committee recommended Staff's proposed language reference A & B facilities
without specifically identifying them to prevent the requirement of an LDC amendment
for this section should the facilities list change in the future.
Mr. Brooker moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the Board
of County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment subject to the changes discussed
above including but not limited to the roadway cross sections. Second by Mr. Foley. Carried
unanimously 3— 0.

requirement for ordinances or resolutions affecting a Stewardship Receiving Area
(SRA) and SRA amendments for NIMS.
Reason: During the public hearings for Ave Maria SRA town plan and SRA master plan on
September 9, 2014,the Planning Commission unanimously voted to direct an
amendment.
Mr. Brooker moved for the Development Services Advisory Committee to recommend the Board
of County Commissioners adopt the proposed amendment as presented by Staff. Second by Mr.
Foley 3-0.
4. Follow-up on previously reviewed amendments
