Haga said the parcel is split into phases 1A, 1B and 1C and that phase 1A will include the entry road and 16 model-home lots, while later phases will extend to Pages Dairy Road. Elizabeth Beck, Planning Department, directed the applicant to PDP 4 design and dimensional standards (page references provided by staff), park‑design standards and the county parks administrative procedures for park frontage and amenity requirements. Beck reminded the applicant T2 (Tier 2) allows a maximum of 60% of lots with front‑loaded garage facades and cited PDP requirements for parking, signage and lighting.

Beck and staff discussed how linear or trail‑frontage parks could satisfy park‑frontage requirements if they are amenitized, and asked the applicant to include a park‑compliance chart on engineering plans showing how park acreage and amenities meet PDP 4 and county park standards. Haga said the team will provide a parks design and that a larger park adjacent to the primary pond will be designed and submitted in a later submittal.

Development Services (Caleb Hurst) stressed that road cross sections in the PDP must be met and that sidewalks/trails and pedestrian connections should be shown on the engineering plans. He also emphasized that any stormwater ponds and roadways constructed during a phase must function independent of future phases and that construction approval for the project will not be issued until the external roadway is constructed and accepted.

School board staff (Brad Underhill) asked about student generation and bus stops and estimated the project will generate roughly 60 elementary‑aged children — “which is an entire full bus” — and offered to coordinate on bus‑stop placement and design. The building department noted the parcel is in FEMA map panels 214, 216 and 218G (flood hazard mapping) and had no additional preliminary comments.

Fire staff (Amanda) flagged access and parking concerns, especially where a northern trail connection could lead to off‑road parking at a cul‑de‑sac. She said roads should provide a minimum 20‑foot clear width and that no street parking should block emergency access; a Knox key/padlock was recommended for any gated emergency access. Health department staff reiterated the need for application and fee submittals and a letter of availability for water and sewer.

Staff also described administrative items to include with the engineering submittal (stormwater/paving notes, construction inspection fees and mail kiosk requirements per Section 8.4 if a mail kiosk is used).

Next steps: the applicant will submit phased site‑engineering plans that show PDP compliance, park-amenity detail and calculations, independent phase stormwater/road designs, pedestrian and sidewalk connections, and letters of availability for utilities. Construction approval will be contingent on external road construction acceptance and completion of plan-review requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nassau County - Development Review Committee - Feb 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Developers of Parcel 14‑5 in Wildlight presented plans Feb. 25 for 365 residential units in three phases; county staff requested park-amenity detail, confirmation that stormwater ponds and roadways function independently by phase, and clarified that external road acceptance is required before construction approvals.","taxTitle","Nassau County, Florida","taxId",72832,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6679676,"Restaurant pad in Wildlight faces PDP, circulation and stormwater checks at DRC pre-application",382,1187000,1569000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2386578-50917ea3eba8cc9390becea754f115ac&start=1187&end=1569","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2386578-50917ea3eba8cc9390becea754f115ac/thumbnail_1187000.jpg","/articles/6679676/Nassau-County/Florida/Restaurant-pad-in-Wildlight-faces-PDP-circulation-and-stormwater-checks-at-DRC-pre-application","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6679676-ef4e1104ec1f07484d8cac159abeb91f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200290&Signature=cj1ODCsM0qH66bhdoKb87G1GEuvhP2MBPu4fDVBhF9Y24YtD2J0qDhDT-3SWmEa-AyGzRTg~unTTXVljR7kHT9L5XtcCVTqCAI0L5a6FXy-XUyhNiGwKUepdqREltEniwY01KeXb6DcHDnnfjq~SrqZiK~3-AqNKbv4XkexS8y58FMuVNrvOjUFEzSbLKObaMLAgtXG5WiD163Oq9AsfIhj8EYDQRkdnaYgInPDO-fJq2zCycR04fmiVlLQG3L~PJ5Vuv~C56VdtY3diqAOS7wdl76IL6AW09dg-GSlhrTo84CYiL9vburrX8OZVXdSPFH9WBi2xbqnhoQEwhndNCA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Concept 99 Group presented a pre-application to the Nassau County Development Review Committee Feb. 25 proposing to locate a Southern Roost restaurant pad in the Wildlight development in Yulee. The committee provided preliminary comments focused on Preliminary Development Plan (PDP) compliance, pedestrian connections, landscaping and stormwater.

James Weathersby, identified as president of Concept 99 Group, said the company is under contract with Wildlight and wants to bring Southern Roost to Yulee. Elizabeth Beck, Planning Department, told the applicant the site is located in DSAP 1 and PDP 2 within the PDP’s employment-center retail area and is subject to PDP-specific standards and narratives available on the county website. Beck listed PDP requirements applicants must meet, including facade transparency and building-orientation standards (PDP guidance pages cited by staff), cross-access connections, a required trail/trailhead (page 16), pedestrian amenities and lighting standards, perimeter landscape requirements, and signage rules. Beck noted “a minimum of 10% of the total lot area is required to be in landscaping” and that bicycle parking is required at a ratio of one bicycle space per 20 required vehicle spaces.

Development Services (Caleb Hurst) said the applicant must provide sidewalk connections and a pedestrian connection to the constructed trailhead; he also noted stormwater paving notes and construction inspection fees are required with any engineering submittal and reiterated that DRC approval is required before commencing construction (Section 6.2 0.1).

Health department staff (Ronny Nestler) described the health department as a state agency for permitting in this context and asked the applicant to provide a letter of availability for water and sewer. Nestler also recommended that dumpsters have a drain with a cap and a hose bib to facilitate cleaning.

Constance Lake (Building Department) noted FEMA map panel 215G applies to the site and reported no additional building-department comments at this preliminary stage. Fire staff observed that standard fire-suppression features would be required; the transcript records fire staff saying sprinkler systems and suppression would be needed and that standard fire provisions apply.

Staff also asked the applicant to ensure any master stormwater pond serving the Wildlight pad is sized to accommodate additional impervious surface from the restaurant and to submit plans demonstrating compliance. No formal vote or decision occurred; the meeting provided technical direction and a list of items the applicant must include in future submittals.

Next steps: the applicant will submit engineering and site plans showing PDP compliance, pedestrian connections, landscaping, drainage/stormwater calculations sized to the master pond, utility availability letters for water and sewer, and required fire and building documentation for comprehensive review.","Concept 99’s proposal to place a Southern Roost restaurant pad in the Wildlight PDP drew technical comments Feb. 25 on Preliminary Development Plan (PDP) standards, sidewalk/trail connections, landscaping, stormwater and health requirements.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6679682,"DRC flags building, health, fire and flood requirements for Timberline Glamping proposal at Amelia Island State Park",911,257000,1168000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2386578-50917ea3eba8cc9390becea754f115ac&start=257&end=1168","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2386578-50917ea3eba8cc9390becea754f115ac/thumbnail_257000.jpg","/articles/6679682/Nassau-County/Florida/DRC-flags-building-health-fire-and-flood-requirements-for-Timberline-Glamping-proposal-at-Amelia-Island-State-Park","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6679682-ca2e7a58e6808f580521e6131e6826cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200290&Signature=ZAzUd0Ar8LJW5piUHVWouIiTCloLBFl7sDO5-~PBM8sDlI-nbSptLGYXaVbhTobmoKXEZvBJEhdgcIVsNf6fOejjTRIbuQQiA7JQ67Dd2R3NYdShYMm1hNVspKcDQSdeSCU0Hw4RkvDL330oVYC6GZ1EEc3wTOGOvlHdk2UzJUa1ryLe9-PGh5Ml9AqY90gKtjr4EuuKriNPnj2LQgWxYcox79biNlmJs26R28EJBNvbTely-Ic9tMebUnr3PnTDyLEY-5Jnt0nXZ~YPFRN~a8Fc9G2JGVAzytVrevfBsqBUYjJD0EQTGuVfGbO03yaZ2rCJs~AY1oW2gLxQ7V5EMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nassau County Development Review Committee reviewed a pre-application Feb. 25 for Timberline Glamping’s plan to place six safari-style tents and one geodesic dome at Amelia Island State Park and provided technical comments on zoning, floodplain, building, health and fire requirements.

The committee’s planning staff noted the site’s zoning and land-use constraints and multiple departments listed requirements the applicant must meet before construction approval. Elizabeth Beck, Planning Department, said the site is zoned OR (Open Rural) with a Recreation (REC) future land-use designation and that “campground” is a permitted use in OR, while RV parks and travel trailers are not. Beck directed the applicant to Article 22 of the land development code and the campground supplemental standards in Section 28.09, and she noted several specific requirements, including a 25-foot upland buffer for jurisdictional wetlands (Section 37.03), a 50% maximum impervious surface ratio for REC parcels, and an Amelia Island resort overlay, tree ordinance and sign regulations that apply to the property.

Planning staff also reminded the applicant that portions of the site are in the special flood hazard area and that properties in the 100-year floodplain require an open-space percentage of 60%.

Applicant Felipe Oliveira identified himself as “a franchisee for Timberline Glamping” and told the committee he has “recently signed a 10 year agreement with the state of Florida to build 6 safari style tents at Amelia Island State Park and 1 geodesic dome there as well.” Olivia’s team said they intend to provide on-site septic and a well; Health Department representative Ronny Nestler said the health department currently regulates septic and well systems but that jurisdiction may shift to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection depending on state action. Nestler asked the applicant to coordinate with the health office and noted testing and permitting requirements for any existing well they intend to use.

Chip (Building Department) and the building department staff raised multiple building-code issues tied to how the tents are constructed. Staff described the planned units as a semi-permanent deck with a tent over it and said that the building code does not treat that configuration as a temporary construction tent subject to the 180-day limit. The department asked for energy calculations, documentation for mechanical and HVAC systems, and formal electrical plans, noting “you can’t run temporary wiring off extension cords” and that bathroom wall surfaces will need to be impervious and ventilated. Building staff also requested written evidence of the vendor’s wind-rating claims for the tent structures; the applicant provided documentation the vendor claims rates up to 120 mph.

Constance Lake, deputy floodplain administrator, reiterated flood-elevation and flood-resistant construction requirements. Lake said the site appears to be on FEMA map panel 389G, in an AE flood hazard zone, and that applicants must meet base flood elevation plus one foot and show flood-hazard information on plans.

Fire department staff (Amanda Bauman) said tents must be made of flame-retardant material, electrical systems must be installed to code (no extension cords), and emergency access must be provided: “A Knox key switch would be required at this time for emergency access, and then fire department access. So minimum 20 foot clear roads stabilized.” Bauman also urged the applicant to document water-supply options, including hydrant provision or acceptable alternate water supplies per the referenced standard (1142), and offered to review approvals from other jurisdictions where the operator has installed similar projects.

Development Services (Caleb Hurst) noted applicable submittal and site-plan procedures in Section 5.07 of the land development code and said the project will likely require full site-plan review with engineering plans. Hurst cited pavement and vehicle-use area standards (ordinance 9 9 17 section 9.90.1) that generally require paving unless low-impact options are approved by review, and he reminded the applicant that sidewalks or pedestrian connections and Article 10 stormwater standards will be reviewed during engineering plan review. Hurst emphasized that “6.2 0.1, DRC approval shall be obtained prior to commencement of construction.”

The committee provided the applicant with a staff list of technical items to include in formal submittals and asked for documentation of tent wind ratings, engineered plans for decks/structures, septic and well permitting dialogs, and water-supply/fire-protection strategies. No formal action or vote was taken; the meeting provided only preliminary recommendations for the applicant to address in later plan submittals.

Next steps: the applicant will submit engineering and building permit materials, along with the requested documentation on tent ratings, electrical design, septic and well approvals, and fire-water provisions. DRC and other county departments will perform comprehensive reviews at the time of formal preliminary/final plan or permit submittal.","The Nassau County Development Review Committee provided preliminary technical comments Feb. 25 on a pre-application to install six safari-style tents and one geodesic dome at Amelia Island State Park, identifying multiple code and safety issues applicants must address before construction review.","actionData","errors"]
