SUBJECT: VB 40 Development Group, LLC’s Request for Final Plat
Approval for a subdivision called Riviera Lake
________________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
The Riviera Lake final plat consists of 44 single-family lots on 17.83 acres, resulting in a density of 2.47 units per acre. The site is located on the east side of 27th Avenue, approximately 350’ south of 4th Street, and is zoned RS-6, Residential Single-Family (up to 6 units/acre). On January 30, 2017, the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) granted preliminary plat approval for a 44-lot single-family residential “conventional subdivision” to be called Riviera Lake. The county’s Public Works Department issued a Land Development Permit (LDP) approval on December 17, 2021, and construction began shortly afterward.
ANALYSIS
As of this time, the developer has constructed 82.77% of the required project improvements. The applicant has coordinated with staff to provide the following:
1. A final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary plat (see attachment 2);
2. An approved Engineer’s Certified Cost Estimate for the remaining required improvements; and
3. An executed Contract for Construction with a cash bond for 125% of the cost of construction for the remaining required improvements.
Most, but not all, of the required project improvements have been completed. As provided for under the County Land Development Regulations applicable to this final plat application, the applicant will be “bonding-out” the remaining 17.23% of required project improvements (drainage, landscaping, roadways, utilities). Public Works, Utility Services, and Planning have reviewed and approved the submitted Engineer's Certified Cost Estimate for the remaining project improvements.
