Flagler County board recommends approval of PUD site plan; cross-access easement unresolved
Summary
The Flagler County Planning and Development Board recommended approval of PUD site development plan application 31 58 for property at Jungle Hut and North Ocean Shore, forwarding the item to the County Commission while noting a remaining cross-access easement and tree-removal questions.
The Flagler County Planning and Development Board voted to recommend approval of application 31 58, a planned-unit-development site plan for the northeast corner of Jungle Hut Road and North Ocean Shore Boulevard, sending the matter to the Board of County Commissioners for a public hearing next Monday, the 18th, at 5:30 p.m.
Planner Adam Mengel told the board most prior conditions had been addressed but that a cross-access and utility easement with the commercial plat to the north remained unresolved. Mengel said several residential lots in the PUD would not meet the 50-foot minimum width at a private roadway intersection and would instead be approximately 25 feet at the intersection; those lot-width issues and related subdivision waivers would be handled later in the preliminary/final plat and commissioner approval process. "In my opinion, those conditions have been satisfied, with the exception of the cross access easement," Mengel said.
Sid Anzbacher, speaking for the applicant, said the team submitted supplemental landscaping materials and offered a mitigation payment: "we agreed to give $25,000 for the county to determine how to augment the buffers along Scenic A1A," he told the board. The applicant also described a contextual sign design that would comply with local sign-size limits.
Neighbors raised environmental and design concerns. Dennis Clark, a Hammock resident, cited staff tree counts and said a large share of identified trees would be removed: "There are up to 523 index trees to be removed out of 577," he said, and questioned stormwater outfall locations and whether required PUD amenities and sustainability features were included in the update.
Mengel answered board questions about replacement-tree obligations, sidewalk placement and emergency access. He said the land-development code requires two paved ingress/egress points for subdivisions of 50 or more lots and noted the board itself does not approve future subdivision waivers; those waivers would be considered later by the county commission. The board asked staff to clarify sign setbacks and sidewalk requirements before the commission hearing.
A board member moved to approve application 31 58 with the staff-listed conditions; the motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote. The board’s recommendation will be part of the county commission’s packet for the scheduled public hearing.
