Nassau County Development Review Committee forwards two paving variances and five project reviews to department heads; building department conditions one on a f
Summary
At its Aug. 12 meeting the Nassau County Development Review Committee reviewed two variance requests to the paving requirement and recommended five projects to department heads; Building Department recommended Tributary Phase 1B Unit 12 approval be conditioned on a flood study prior to permit applications.
The Nassau County Development Review Committee met Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025, and reviewed two variance requests to local paving standards and five development applications before forwarding recommendations to department heads for final determinations.
The committee — an advisory body that makes recommendations to department heads — considered a variance from paving requirements for Mount Zion Commercial and a separate variance for Oak Hill RV. For Mount Zion Commercial, the applicant requested permission to install crushed concrete (referred to in the packet as “crushed crete”) instead of asphalt, citing concern that asphalt’s high surface temperature could harm dogs’ paws at a proposed dog park. For Oak Hill RV, the applicant asked to use asphalt millings rather than new asphalt for internal roads, saying the material would maintain the existing RV park’s rustic appearance and match surrounding surfaces.
Development Services staff presented both requests. Departments on the committee — including the Building Department, Planning, Health Department and Fire — registered no comments at the meeting on either variance. The committee recorded those responses and referred both variance requests to the county engineer for final determination.
The committee also reviewed five projects and took no substantive comments on most. The projects were: - SP25-006, Highway 17 Self Storage (no further comments recorded); - SP24-052, Johnny’s A/C (no further comments recorded); - PL25-006, Liberty Cove Phase 1, Unit 2 (no further comments recorded); - PL25-009, Townhomes of Westerly Park, Part 1 (no further comments recorded); and - SP24-048, Tributary Phase 1B, Unit 12.
For the Tributary Phase 1B, Unit 12 application, Constance Lake of the Building Department recommended approval conditioned on a flood study per the code (the presenter read the requirement as “chapter 10 and a half 72 1”) and said the study must be completed prior to building permit applications for Unit 12. Planning, Health and Fire reported no further comments on the Tributary item at the meeting.
Committee Chair Tabitha Bostick of Development Services opened the session and noted one pre-application and two variances on the agenda; staff also said a separate pre-application from Cabana Villas was deferred to the following Tuesday’s meeting. The committee closed each item after recording department comments and referred the items to the appropriate department heads or the county engineer for final action. No formal votes were taken by the committee; its role is advisory.
Materials and the meeting recording were noted as available after the meeting.
