Title
DRC NO. 02-17-09 CONSIDERATION OF A PLAT AMENDMENT FOR THE MARGATE COVERED SPORTS FIELD
LOCATION: 1675 BANKS ROAD
ZONING: INDUSTRIAL PARK M-1A DISTRICT
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: LOT 1 OF HAIG & DUKE PLAT, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 175,PAGE 131, OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA.
PETITIONER: COTTER CHRISTIAN, MARGATE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
BACKGROUND: The property is currently under site plan review for a covered ball park structure that will serve as an expansion to the adjacent Margate Sports Complex. The property is also in the process of being rezoned from M-1A Industrial Park District to S-1 Recreational District to allow for this use.
The petitioner is requesting that the note on the plat be amended as follows:
• Delete Plat Note #7 entirely and replace it with a new note 7 that will change and restrict the uses to City Park/Recreational.
• Delete Plat Note #8 entirely and replace it with a new note 8 that allows for recreational uses and provides updated effective dates.
• Modify the Non-Vehicular Access on the plat to eliminate the existing 50 foot access opening at the southeast corner of the plat as direct access from Banks Road will not be required.
The Site Plan was approved with conditions at the Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting on November 8, 2016; a copy of the minutes is attached. The Ordinance to rezone the property was approved at the DRC meeting on February 14, 2017; a draft of those meeting minutes is also attached.
