Summary

The board approved final plat for Sugar Sand Phase 2, a 45-lot subdivision with private roads and stormwater facilities; the applicant's attorney and a commissioner recused for conflicts.

Bay County commissioners on July 1 approved the final plat for Sugar Sand Phase 2 and accepted the developer's letter of credit as the required guarantee for subdivision improvements.

Zach Farrell, managing member of Farm Dale LLC and the applicant for Sugar Sand Phase 2, told commissioners the subdivision will contain 45 residential lots, 0.28 miles of private road, stormwater retention facilities and private common areas. Planning and Zoning approved the development on Aug. 31, 2022. Staff said the subdivision complies with chapter 177.071 of the Florida Statutes and Bay County regulations.

Before the vote, the chairman recused himself because he said he is the attorney for the applicant; the vice chair presided over the item. A commissioner moved to approve the final plat "subject to the language that the county attorney just recited," the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call.

The approval accepts the letter of credit in lieu of completed improvements and allows the developer to proceed with plat recording and subsequent lot sales consistent with the county's platting rules.
