Jenkins, P.E./M '-If< SUBJECT: Fox Glen Phase II - Approval Recommendation with Contingencies All "as-built" site deficiencies have been corrected. I recommend this proiect be fOlwarded to the City Commission for approval having been constructed per the approved Final Engineering: with the following condition: Lot 160 be a non-buildable Lot, until the 81. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) forwards the appropriate wetland boundary information on the "unbuildable" Lot 161. Since the Comprehensive Plan requires a twenty five (25) foot buffer upland of a wetland, this will give SJRWMD and City staff the time to locate the new wetland boundary line on or adjacent to "unbuildable" Lot 161 so that the location of the required twenty five (25) buffer can be located as it effects Lot 160. Note: Lot 161 is shown on the plot as an "unhuiJdable" lot If you have any questions, please let me know. ATTACHMENT C ') ) ) / LAND DEVELOPJ\'lENT teen (15) feet.
