Sitework construction commenced in June 2013 and is expected to be in progress for  the next several months. The Offices at Winding Hollow plat divides the property into six (6) lots corresponding to the six(6) proposed single-story office buildings. The plat includes easements for utilities, drainage, cross-access, a landscape buffer, signage, a screen wall, pedestrian access, and emergency access. Approval of a final plat is regulated by Chapter 9 of the City Code (various sections) and Chapter 177, Florida Statutes. Chapter 177, Florida Statutes require that the plat be fully executed by the owner(s) of record, by all mortgagees having an interest in the land to be subdivided, by the professional surveyor and mapper of record, and by the independent professional surveyor and mapper who reviews the plat for consistency with Chapter 177, Florida Statutes. Before the plat can be recorded, per Section 9-76 of the City Code the developer is required to provide a bond, letter of credit, or cash deposit in favor of the City in an amount equal to the construction cost of the publicly owned site improvements that have not been completed. For The Offices at Winding Hollow, the developer intends to complete and obtain final City acceptance of all publicly owned improvements (water, sewer, and reclaimed water facilities) prior to recording the plat, which would eliminate the need to provide a bond, letter of credit, or cash deposit. As of July 11, 2013, there is one open comment from the City's independent surveyor that had not been addressed, which was a request that all easements from the title opinion be listed on the plat. This open comment is recommended to be a condition of approval of the Consent 204 PAGE 2 OF 3 - July 22, 2013 plat, meaning the plat cannot be recorded until the comment has been addressed and approved by the City's independent surveyor.
