irrigation, hardscaping, and other associated improvements as shown on the attached final

Phase II consists of a second 24,390 square foot professional office building and 23 additional
parking spaces. At buildout of both phases, there will be a total of 131 parking spaces serving
48,780 square feet of professional office space, for an overall parking ratio of 2.67 spaces per
1,000 square feet of gross building area.
The following items are addressed as part of the proposed Development Agreement:
1. The proposed building is located approximately 45-feet from the S.R. 434 right-of-way
line with a pedestrian plaza located between the building and the right-of-way and no
frontage road. This deviates from Section 20-325 (c) (8), which requires the typical
build-to line to be at the right-of-way of a frontage road parallel to S.R. 434.
2. The public sidewalk along the property frontage shall be located onsite in the plaza area,
with sidewalk connections to the existing sidewalks at both ends of the property. The
plaza area shall be maintained in perpetuity as fully accessible to the general public.

periods of time, and as such will be maintained for these public purposes.
4. The wall at the northeast comer shall connect to and be coordinated with the proposed
Jesup's Reserve wall.

improvements shown on Levitt's property along the eastern property boundary.

utilize the existing 30-foot wide City right-of-way along the southern property boundary
for parking and the stormwater pond.
7. Retaining walls may be utilized at the pond perimeter in lieu of 4: 1 side slopes as
required by Section 9-241.d.2.
8. FDOT does not require a right-turn deceleration lane, this will deviate from Section 9-
206.a and is recorded as part of the proposed Developer's Agreement.

parking area.
10. Installation and ongoing maintenance of the trees in the plaza area shall be to the City's
satisfaction, and such trees shall be subject to replacement if they diminish in condition.
