April 7, 2008 (Work Session) Page 782 2008 35 2009 35 2010 35 2011 35 2012 8 Mr. Wayne said he wants to make certain the Board understands that he is not saying that he does not intend to develop the previously approved lots, but that he is merely agreeing to a schedule to limit the development of the lots that do not require a consent agreement because they are already approved. He said he could begin developing the 103 previously approved lots immediately; the 95 additional lots are part of a 100-acre tract that is adjacent to the same project; and he could geographically develop these lots more prudently at this time. He clarified that he is asking for approval of the Reservation of Capacity with an accelerated pace from what the County staff has recommended by borrowing some of the available lots in the other phases that have been approved through preliminary plat; and that he agrees to limit development to a total of 35 units for the years of 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 with 8 lots in 2012. Mr. Wayne also responded to questions from the Board. He pointed out by developing the new lots first, the voluntary mitigation payment would be paid sooner thereby improving the County's cash flow. Mr. Day pointed out that there are no phasing or mitigation requirements on the previously approved lots. Mr. Wayne stated that he could begin construction tomorrow on a 103 units that are already approved, but is agreeing not to; and, to go at a reasonable rate of 35 units per year, balanced at their discretion, between the new approval (95 lots) and the old approval (1.03 lots) to_whatever extent makes economic sense to them to develop in the most rational way they can market the property. He said all the lots in Park Creek are single family units on large lots and the density in the next phase (95 lots) is very low. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carruth, seconded by Commissioner Privette and unanimously carried, the Board voted to place the revised Reservation of Capacity Certificate for the Park Creek Subdivision Project on the April 21, 2008 Agenda as a New Business item.
