Commission approves expansion of RV park off U.S. 129 to 59 sites
Summary
The Suwannee County Commission approved a special-permit amendment to expand an existing RV park from 37 to 59 sites on a 12.07-acre agricultural parcel; the vote was 5-0. Environmental Health inspection and additional permitting for septic will be required for the new sites, and the applicant will modify a retention pond.
Planning staff described special-permit application SP25-07-01, a request by DDGR-RV I LLC to add 22 sites to an existing RV park, increasing the approved total from 37 to 59 sites on a 12.07-acre parcel with Agricultural-1 zoning and access off U.S. 129.
"This is a special permit request to add and modify the original approved site plan for an existing RV park... This requests an additional 22 sites... to bring the total to 59 sites," the planning representative said during the hearing.
Staff advised the board the park currently complies with county land-use regulations, has on-site well and septic systems, and that permits for additional septic connections would be required from the Environmental Health Department. The board was told recent state rule changes governing new RV parks did not apply to expansions of an existing park.
Robert Browning, representing the applicant, said the existing retention/ detention pond will be modified and expanded as required by the water-management district and engineers.
Commissioner White asked whether the detention pond needed to be enlarged; staff said the pond had been permitted to accommodate a larger impervious area than actually built and that a water-management district certification would determine the final sizing.
No members of the public spoke on the item. The commission approved the special permit 5-0.
The approval included standard conditions: Environmental Health must review and permit new septic connections; site changes must comply with county Land Development Regulations; any required water-management district permits must be satisfied before final site acceptance.
