    Hammock Lakes Residential Planned Development Project

    Planning board recommendationPassed 4–1 · splitUnder review

    The board recommended approval of a 40.8-parcel residential on West Bay Loop between Piney Point Road and Bay Harbor Drive for 158 single-family home lots. The project proposes a of 3.5 units per acre versus the zoning maximum of 4 units per acre. The applicant requested six : (1) allowing aerated wet ponds to count as stormwater recreation and pervious area, excluding them from impervious surface ratio calculation; (2) calculating the 40% impervious surface ratio on the entire property rather than individual lots; (3) reducing minimum lot area from 1/4 acre to 1/8 acre; (4) reducing lot width and street frontage requirements; (5) reducing rear yard from 25 feet to 15 feet; and (6) reducing side yard setbacks from 10% of lot width to 5-foot setback. Homes are planned to be 1500-1700 square feet with possibility of 2-story homes. Staff and planning professionals noted clustering is common practice and the parcel size limits development scope. No public comment was received. Motion to recommend approval made by Steve Thomas, seconded by T.J. Kemp. Jan Hooks voted nay. Motion passed.
