Summary

Brandon Properties received a three-year extension for the 28-unit Plymouth Road (Saccharum) subdivision Order of Conditions following litigation delays; applicant said stormwater permitting (CGP) was secured and a certified inspector will oversee construction.

The commission voted Jan. 14 to grant a three-year extension to the Order of Conditions for the Plymouth Road / Saccharum Road 28-unit subdivision, after the applicant said litigation and a ZBA matter delayed construction.

A representative for Brandon Properties explained the delay arose from a lawsuit and ZBA issues and said the EPA construction general permit (CGP) is in place, stormwater protection plans have been filed, and a certified stormwater inspector will monitor construction and submit required inspections. The applicant asked for a three-year extension to allow work to proceed.

Commissioners discussed the length of the extension and the history of previous tolling/extension provisions; staff confirmed prior tolling and legal advice indicated the extension request was appropriate. Commissioners also asked that wetland flags remain in the field and requested usual pre-construction inspections.

The motion to approve the three-year extension passed by roll call. Staff will record standard conditions and ensure periodic inspections and flag maintenance prior to mobilization.
