18 Danny Jones said if he made enough money, he would donate something. 1 Commissioner Rich said the developer already has a payment-in-lieu of $9100 for parks. 2 Commissioner McKee said he remembered an issue with the Winfall subdivision where 3 the roads were not built to DOT standards, issues arose, and he received many complaints 4 from the residents. He said he understands that the disclosure would inform homeowners that 5 this is a private road, but he asked Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor, if there is any 6 way to insure that there would not be a repeat occurrence of that situation at the Triple Crown 7 Farms project. 8 Michael Harvey said he cannot guarantee anything, and he said staff has put 9 safeguards in place, with the language in the recommendations, which clearly lays out that the 10 roads are not to DOT standards, the cost to make them so, and that the property owners would 11 be responsible for making the changes should public roads be desired. He said this language 12 cannot insure that a property owner will not raise complaints in the future. 13 Craig Benedict, Planning Director, said there is one step that staff added to the Unified 14 Development Ordinance (UDO), which states that before the developer turns this over to the 15 new home owners’ association (HOA), there is a required community meeting to go over 16 issues, and the roads would be one of the issues addressed. 17 Commissioner Price said that speaks directly to her concern. She said that meeting 18 happens in the beginning, but she is concerned about this issue years from now. 19 Craig Benedict said a road maintenance document, which is affixed to each of these 20 lots, is recorded and affixed to the lots in perpetuity. 21 Chair Dorosin asked John Roberts if the BOCC can add a payment for affordable 22 housing to these conditions. 23 John Roberts said that would be an impact fee, and the BOCC cannot do that. 24 Chair Dorosin said the County would have to rely on the good faith of the developer. 25 Commissioner McKee said he appreciates the intent of the BOCC to further affordable 26 housing, but he would object to encouraging a developer on the fly at a meeting, under duress 27 to support affordable housing. He said he is not saying it was the intent of the Chair to ensnare 28 the developer, but if he were sitting in the developer’s place this evening, he would have felt no 29 choice but to agree to the Chair’s suggestion. He said if the BOCC had a policy ahead of time, 30 that would be different; but he cannot support this type of action at a meeting on the fly. 31 Commissioner McKee said he has a real concern about making an adjustment to a 32 previously approved project, which met DOT standards, that serves million dollar homes; or any 33 homes for that matter. 34 Chair Dorosin said the when the developer for the Hillsborough Economic Development 35 District (EDD) project was at a recent BOCC meeting, the Board suggested many conditions on 36 the fly, to which no objections were raised. He said there is precedent for making such 37 requests in this forum, and he believes his comments are consistent with previous BOCC 38 action. 39 Commissioner McKee said he had a level of concern at that meeting as well, but his 40 concern is greater this evening. 41 Commissioner Marcoplos said one of the fundamental questions is whether this road is 42 going to be built to any standard of quality, and the answer is that it is being built to the 43 standards of the UDO, which indicates it will be built to a level of quality that makes it a bona 44 fide road. 45 Patrick Mallett said it has to meet one or the other: Class A standard for private roads, 46 or DOT standards. 47 Commissioner Marcoplos said he believes it is a functional road system. 48
