BACKGROUND:

Pine Brook Northwest Unplatted Subdivision is a single family residential subdivision (11.71 acres and 5 proposed lots) located on Carmody Hill Road (off Highway 297A).

In regards to the Special Warranty Deed: During the Development Review Committee (DRC) process, it was discovered that Parcel A and Parcel B were needed by Escambia County. Acceptance of the Special Warranty Deed for Parcel A will allow the county access to the pond and to a natural drainage route from the lake. Parcel B will provide county ownership over an existing drainage inlet.

In regards to the Drainage Easement: a proposed 30' drainage easement will extend access from Parcel A to the pond, and will also provide a drainage easement over a portion of Lot 89 (Pine Brook Estate, unrecorded), over an existing drainage structure.

Pine Brook Northwest Unplatted was approved by DRC on September 28, 2016, with a Special Condition stating that no land disturbing permits, land use permits, building permits, or conveyance of lots will take place prior to BCC approval and acceptance of the Drainage Easements and Parcels A & B.

Funds for incidental expenses associated with the recording of documents are available in an Engineering Escrow Account accessed by the Escambia County Clerk's Office.
