1() (Habitat for Humanity of Orange County has been incorporated and building houses in the county since 1985. Because its work force consists of volunteers, Habitat is somewhat restricted in its ability to effectively manage development projects.) (3) whether factors other than market conditions and beyond the control of the subdivider caused a delay in meeting the phasing plan; and (A volunteer with Habitat did contact the Planning Department in February of 1989 to determine the status of the Chestnut Oaks project. He was advised at that time that the preliminary plan approval as well as the letter of credit for required improve -' ments in Phase 2 were about to expire and that some attempt should be made to proceed with the next phase of the subdvision in order for the approval to remain valid. The Planning Department was not contacted again by Habitat until September of 1989.) (4) whether the development project, if completed consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat, will tend to aid or meet an important public policy goal established by the Board of County Commissioners; and (Goal Eight in the Land Use Element of the Comprehen- sive Plan contains ten objectives to be pursued in carrying out Orange County's effort to encourage construction of housing for low to moderate income families. Chestnut Oaks Subdivision represents Habitat for Humanity's purpose to provide such housing. Another important public policy goal which would be affected by renewing the development plan for Chestnut Oaks is the protection of the University Lake Watershed. An amendment to the phasing plan would allow density on the site to exceed what is currently permitted by 49 %.) (5) whether the application for an amended phasing plan was submitted before the previously approved time limit(s) has lapsed; and (The previously approved time limit expired on April 19, 1989.)
