That the Board take the following action concerning recording of the Final Plat of Graystone Estates, Phase 1, (a 26-lot single family residential subdivision), located in the Farm Hill Community on Nowak Road and Upland Road. Owned and developed by Northern Gulf Nowak, LLC. Prior to recording, the County Surveyor and the Clerk of the Circuit Court must sign the Final Plat, as set forth in Section 2-5.7, of the Escambia County Land Development Code. Also, prior to recording the County Surveyor must sign the Final Plat as set forth in Chapter 177.081 (1) Florida Statutes;

A. Approve the final plat for recording; and

B. Authorize the Chairman or Vice Chairman to execute a Two-Year Warranty Agreement Without Surety and a Drainage and Access Easement Deed.

BACKGROUND:

The preliminary plat was approved on January 6, 2016. Construction Plans were approved on March 9, 2016. A Development Order by the Development Review Committee for Final Plat Recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners was issued on February 1, 2017. The Development Services Department inspected the improvements on January 31, 2017 and found improvements substantially complete and in accordance with applicable County requirements. An executed Drainage and Access Easement Deed and a Two-Year Warranty Agreement Without Surety will be recorded with the final plat. Staff has reviewed the final plat and associated documents.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

This recommendation is consistent with previous practices of the County Attorney’s Office. A Two-Year Warranty Agreement Without Surety was reviewed and approved by Meredith Crawford on December 13, 2016.

PERSONNEL:

All work associated with this recommendation was done in-house and no additional staff was required. Future Road Department budgets will reflect no additional cost to maintain these improvements.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

Based on the County Land Development Code – providing procurement for surety to warrant subdivision improvements (Ord. #2002-9) and the Florida State Plat Act - Chapter 177.

IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS:

Once the final plat has been approved by the Board and final sign-offs given by the County Surveyor, the plat and associated documents will be transmitted to the Clerk of Court’s Office for recording in the public records of Escambia County, Florida.
