FINDINGS OF FACT


  1. On August 20, 1975, the Appellant, MGIC - Janis Properties, Inc., developer, filed an Application for Development Approval for Development of Regional Impact (hereinafter referred to as the "Application") with the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council and the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council. A copy of that application as amended was attached as Exhibit "B" to the Appellants' petition and is made a part of the record herein. The Exhibit "B" has two parts, the initial part consisting of the Development of Regional Impact, Planning Concepts and Zoning Requests and the latter part consisting of addendum one. The submission of the application to the two Regional Planning Councils was necessitated by the fact that the property covered by the application lies in both Alachua and Marion Counties, which counties are within the jurisdictional areas of the North Central Regional Planning Council and the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council, respectively.


  2. Following the preliminary review by the Withlacoochee Planning Council, the Council, by letter of September 25, 1975, notified Marion County, by and through Mr. John Hastings, Zoning Director, Marion County Zoning and Building Department, that the Planning Council was ready to proceed with the formal review of the application and further advising that public hearing dates should be scheduled to comply with the requirements of the Florida Environmental Land and Water Management Act of 1972 (Chapter 380, Florida Statutes). A copy of that letter was attached as Exhibit "C" to Appellants' petition and is made a part of the record herein. On October 7, 1975, the Board of County Commissioners of Alachua County (hereinafter referred to as "Alachua County") scheduled a public hearing on the application before the County Commission to be held at 4:30 P.M. on December 9, 1975, in the Alachua County Courthouse, Gainesville, Florida. The Appellants were given notice of the public hearing by a copy of the letter of October 8, 1975, from Howard Weston, County Administrator to Alachua County, a copy of that letter appearing as Exhibit "D" to the Appellants' petition and made a part of the record herein.


  3. On October 14, 1975, the Appellee scheduled public hearings on the application before the Marion County Planning and Zoning Commission held at 4:00

    P.M. on January 5, 1976, at the Marion County Courthouse, Ocala, Florida, and before the Board of County Commissioners at 9:00 A.M. on January 21, 1976, at the Marion County Courthouse, Ocala, Florida. Notification to the Appellants of these public hearings was given by letter of October 15, 1975 from Ronald H. Miller, Marion County Planner, a copy of that letter being Exhibit "E" to the Appellants' petition and made a part of the record herein.


  4. On November 6, 1975, the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council prepared, adopted and sent to Alachua County their recommendations

    regarding the application, which recommendations recommended approval of the Appellants' proposed project subject to certain conditions. A copy of those recommendations was attached as Exhibit "F" to the Appellants' petition and is made a part of the record herein.


  5. On November 13, 1975, the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council, meeting in full session, prepared, adopted and sent to Marion County, their recommendations regarding the application, which recommendation recommended approval of the Appellants' proposed project subject to certain conditions. A copy of those recommendations was attached as Exhibit "G" to the Appellants' petition and is made a part of the record herein.


  6. On December 9, 1975 Alachua County held a public hearing on the Appellants' application and that public hearing was continued on January 6, 1976.


  7. On December 24, 1975 the Marion County Planning Department prepared and sent to Marion County their considerations and recommendations regarding the application, which recommendations recommended approval of the Appellants' proposed project subject to certain conditions. The recommendations of the Marion County Planning Department were based in part on comments provided by the Marion County Engineer and the Environmental Health Division of the Marion County Health Department. A copy of these considerations and recommendations was attached as Exhibit "H" to the Appellants' petition and is made apart of the record herein. On January 5, 1976, the Marion County Planning and Zoning Commission held a public Hearing on the Appellants' application, which public hearing was continued on January 12, 1976. At the conclusion of the public hearing, after having heard and considered all interested parties and pertinent facts and matters with regard to the Appellants' application and after having considered the recommendations of the Marion County Planning Department, the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council and all testimony and information presented at the public hearing, the Marion County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of Appellants' application subject to the conditions previously recommended by the Withlacoochee Planning Council and the Marion County Planning Department, and subject to certain other conditions. Copies of the minutes of the special meeting of the Marion County Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of January 5, 1976 and January 12, 1976 were attached as Exhibit "I" and Exhibit "J" respectively to the Appellants' petition and are made a part of the record herein.


  8. On January 6, 1976, Mr. Al Lewis, Director of the Department of Planning, Alachua County, prepared and sent to Alachua County, by and through Mr. Howard Weston, County Administrator, his recommendation regarding the application, which recommendation recommended approval of the Appellants' proposed project subject to certain conditions. A copy of those recommendations was attached as Exhibit "K" to the Appellants' petition and is made a part of the record herein. On that same date, Alachua County, after having heard and considered all interested parties and pertinent facts and matters with regard to Appellants' application, and after having considered the recommendations of the Alachua County Department of Planning, the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council and all testimony and information presented at the public hearing, issued a development order approving Appellants' application subject to certain conditions. A copy of said development order was attached as Exhibit "L" to the Appellants' petition and is made a part of the record herein.


  9. On January 21, 1976, the Appellee, Marion County, held a public hearing on the Appellants' application, which public hearing was continued on February

    10, 1976 and February 18, 1976 and the record of those hearings have been transcribed and made a part of the record herein.


  10. After the January 21, 1976 meeting before the Marion County Board of County Commissioners in which discussion was entered into on the recommendations arising from the Withlacoochee Planning Council meeting on November 13, 1975 and the recommendations of the Marion County Planning Department of December 24, 1975, the Appellants in the person of their attorney, Stephen A. Scott, and the architect for the Appellants, David Reaves, submitted two letters dated February 4, 1976, which set forth the position of the Appellants on the aforementioned recommendations of the Planning Council and the Marion County Planning Department. Copies of these letters of February 4, 1976 have been filed with the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings, and are made a part of the record herein.


  11. On February 13, 1976 the Marion County Plat Committee prepared and sent to Marion County suggested wording changes for previously recommended conditions to the approval of Appellants' application. A copy of these suggested working changes is attached hereto as Exhibit "M" to the Appellants' petition and made a part of the record herein. In response to the February 13, 1976 Marion County Plat Committee suggested wording changes for previously recommended conditions and/or modifications applicable to the application dated February 13, 1976, the Appellants' attorney, Stephen A. Scott filed a letter of February 18, 1976. This letter is filed in the case by permission of the Hearing Officer and is made a part of the record herein. At the conclusion of the public hearing on February 18, 1976, Marion County adopted a resolution denying approval of Appellants' application. A copy of said resolution was attached as Exhibit "A" to Appellants' petition and is made a part of the record herein.


  12. In the course of the DRI process, not all aspects of the application, Exhibit "B", were disputed by the various planning agencies, the Appellee and the Intervenor. Moreover, Alachua County, Florida has given its approval and any reference to action before that governmental body is for the limited purposes of describing the Marion County, Florida application. Therefore, the discussion of the facts will be in terms of those facts which were disputed and not those facts in support of the application which are not in dispute.


  13. The points of contention between the parties are primarily discussed in the Exhibit "B", Development of Regional Impact, Planning Concepts and Zoning Requests and its addendum; Exhibit "G", the recommendations of the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council of November 13, 1975; Exhibit "H", the Marion County Planning Department, Statement of considerations and recommendation; Exhibit "J", the minutes of the Marion County Planning and Zoning Department meeting, January 12, 1976; the letters of February 4, 1976, from the representatives of the Appellant, David Reaves and the Appellants' attorney Stephen A. Scott; Exhibit "M", the Marion County Plat Committee suggested wording changes for previously recommended conditions and/or modifications, dated February 13, 1976; the discussion of the aforementioned document in the course of the public hearings of January 21, 1976, February 10, 1976 and February 18, 1976 and the Exhibit "A", Resolution and Development Order of the Marion County Board of County Commissioners.


  14. The proposed development is a horse ownership oriented community located 12 miles south of Gainesville, Florida and 18 miles north of Ocala, Florida and it encompasses an area of approximately 5 square miles (3200 acres). The statement of market study is found on page 87 of Exhibit "B". This project

    is located on the border of Alachua and Marion Counties, Florida. One sixth of this area lies within Alachua County and the remaining area in Marion County.

    The highway system as shown in map "J" of Exhibit "B". The project has five developmental phases as described in the Exhibit "B" and within those developmental phases are planned construction of midrise, townhouse, patiohouse, and single family dwellings for a total population build out in all phases of approximately 8,234 residents. This project also anticipates lodges to be built in the various phases to accommodate additional average yearly population of 1,200 persons. Its estimated that visitors will total 834 at the completion of all phases, for a total of 10,000 plus persons within the development at the end of the final phase. Further discussion of these statistics may be found on page 15 of Exhibit "B". At present the area is primarily agricultural and is zoned as such. Within the immediate vicinity of the project are the towns of Micanopy and Mcintosh and the community of Evinston. These communities together with the population immediately outside these towns would total approximately 2,500 people. Consequently, the area can best be described as rural, as opposed to the suburban nature of the proposed development. The difference in character in the locale as it presently exists and as is proposed by the development plan is the principal point of contention between the appellants on the one side, and the Appellee and Intervenor on the other. It is the suggestion of the Appellants that the project can be developed and carry with it a suburban nature without being inconsistent with or destroying the rural character of the surrounding towns and unincorporated areas. On the other hand the Appellee and Intervenor suggest that to allow this project would destroy the rural lifestyle of the area. The transcript of the proceedings before the Board of County Commissioners, Marion County, Florida held on January 21, 1976, February 10, 1976, and February 18, 1976 developes in detail the opposing points of view on the issue of the compatibility of the development with the present surroundings. Considering the distance between the proposed development and the larger communities in the areas to wit, Gainesville and Ocala, the rural nature of the land at present and the fact that this development would be potentially the third largest community in the Alachua County and Marion County area, the development does not appear to be compatible with its surroundings.


  15. The Appellant has proposed a private roads community, and this concept is contrary to the express policy of Marion County, Florida. Prohibition to this form of private roads is set forth in subsection 2A.13 of the Public Works Manual, Marion County, Florida. There is concern by the Appellee on the question of access of the public through the private road system, in that it would create a necessity the public to go around the entire development. However, at present there are public roads serving the area and it is not contemplated that future public roads will go through the project. The Appellee is also concerned with maintenance of speed limits on private property and resubdivision of the parcel of land in the future where private roads have been allowed. The restriction against private roads has been waived in Marion County in the past and could be waived in this instance if a private road network or a combination of private and public road network were built in the development. The Appellee would require that the network be built to Marion County Specifications, and the Appellant agrees.


  16. There are proposed to be built two bridges. One bridge across Interstate-75 incident to the last phase of the project and other bridge across SE-10, County Line Road. The Appellee would require conceptual approval of these matters by the permitting agencies going into the project, and the bridges would be constructed at the developers' expense prior to the development phase effected by the bridges.

  17. Other roads affected by the project are State Road 320 and Hickman Road which are in the southern part of the project. If these roads were utilized, access for emergency, police, fire and other needs of similar nature would have to be worked out. In connection with the question of access, the developer had initially proposed that the project be a gated community with private security patrols within the community. In view of the considerable debate in the course of the proceedings about this technique of a gated community and private security patrol, the developer has indicated a willingness to forgo the utilization of perimeter walls or fencing and private security patrols or entrance guards.


  18. As mentioned before, the land selected for development is presently zoned agricultural and to achieve the purposes of the project the zoning would have to be changed to a type of residential zoning. As a part of the zoning consideration, the Appellee has asked that the Appellant submit a master plan in conjunction with or as a part of the zoning change. The conditions of the master plan are as set forth in pages 6 - 9 of the December 24, 1975 report which is Exhibit "H". The Appellants' specific response to the question of the master plan as it relates to matters of zoning is found in the February 4, 1976 letter of attorney Stephen A. Scott. In summary, the developer is concerned with the wording of some of the provisions of the December 24, 1975 report, Exhibit "H", and with the repetitious aspects of the master plan, in view of the fact that the questions have been addressed through the DRI. The letter also indicates a reluctance to divulge detailed financial information about the developer.


  19. There are certain aspects about the development proposal which contemplate the sponsorship by a homeowners association. Among these aspects are security patrol, fire protection, sewage treatment, recreational facilities, maintenance of recreational facilities, water treatment and service, and eventual health care. These items are in addition to the construction and maintenance of private roads, to include storm drainage. The Appellee has requested that the developer in detail the intricacies of the homeowners association and the method by which it may accomplish the aforementioned goals. Again this discussion is found in pages 6 - 9 of the Exhibit "H". The related matters of health care in the initial 4 stages and long term treatment at the point of final build out must be accomplished by coordination with emergency transportation to the hospitals in the Gainesville and Ocala area. The health care facilities are shown on map "I" to the Exhibit "B". At some point in time, it is the feeling of the Appellants that a fulltime physician will establish a clinic due to the number of persons in the development community, without the need for any subsidy by the developer. Medical evacuation seems to be suggested as a function of the homeowners association, in the latter phases.


  20. The appellant and appellee acknowledged that the acreage for a landfill site for solid waste disposal would be off the grounds of the project. This would need to be within a five mile travelling of distance to satisfy the Appellee and to meet the requirements of the State of Florida, Department of Environmental Regulation. The acreage necessary would be 35 acres. The resolution of the question of location was not resolved between the parties; however, it seems that some plan by which the developer purchased a site either by having that site selected by the Appellee and then purchasing the site or paying a fixed sum of money to the County for such a purpose is indicated. The unresolved issues pertain to the purchase of the equipment necessary and the arrangement for the maintenance of the site location. In the past in Marion County, this type of landfill has been maintained as a part of commercial

    contracts for collection and disposal of solid waste1 and nothing suggests that this could not be achieved in this instance.


  21. The soil description and analysis is found beginning on page 32 of Exhibit "B" and within maps E, F, and G of Exhibit "B". An examination of the report shows that much of the soil is Blichton-Kendrick Association which has slow permeability. Other places are Bayboro-Placid Association which is low wet lands that have interspersed with them really poorly drained deep sands. Within this overall network it is intended that a sewage plant be placed, which treats the sewage and utilizes the activated sludge method with some form of additional treatment for spray irrigation of the remaining effluent. The site location and details of the treatment plan will be approved by the State of Florida, Department of Environmental Regulation. There are 243 ranches and ranchettes which are intended for septic tank utilization and individual wells for water supply. Discussion of these matters is found on pages 93 through 96 of Exhibit "B". Storm water disposal, in consideration of the 100 year flood elevations are found on pages 97 through 101, and map "G" of Exhibit "B". Some special problems that have occurred in the past pertain to the question of storm water disposal. The Old Field Pond area has had flooding. Flooding has occurred across SE-10 over U.S. 441 and into the adjacent land owner's property. Moreover, the Fire Tower Road which is in the area of SE-10 has flooded and one requirement would be consideration of those property owners who utilize SE-10 as an alternate route to the so called Fire Tower Road in times of flooding. As shown in the map on page 34 of Exhibit "B" there are a number of recharge wells in the active Old Field Pond area. It is the feeling of the Appellee through its staff reports, i.e., the Withlacoochee Planning Council report of November 13, 1975 and the agreement of other staff agencies that these recharge wells should be plugged to avoid the problem of liquid waste going directly back into the Floridian Aquifer, which flows under the property. The developer feels that this should only be done after testing. Discussion was also entered into about the coordination of sewage treatment and water supply needs with the surrounding communities of Mcintosh and Micanopy.


  22. The provision for electric power is discussed by letters from the Florida Power Corporation and Clay Electric Cooperative, Inc. found on pages 112 and 113 of Exhibit "B". There is concern that due to prior power shortages in the immediate service area, that further service obligations would diminish the quality of the electric service. This indication runs contrary to the comments within the letters of the two utility companies and it has been suggested that greatly increased needs would promote more efficient electric service. This latter argument, does not address the conditions in the early phases of development.


  23. A matter of much discussion was the need for schools, fire protection and police protection. If the private security and fire service concept is rejected, there is no indication whether these needs could be met by the Appellee, although tax revenues would be generated to assist in responding to those needs. On the former question of schools, there has been preliminary contact by the developers agent in considering regional schools, since the project lies within two counties, but that contact has been very limited. The question of site location for a school to service this community and surrounding communities and the sharing of the costs of such implementation is also in the preliminary stages. Therefore, matters concerning the school system are yet to be resolved.


  24. The project contemplates a number of recreational areas, lodges and stores. The lodges and stores would be open to the public, but the recreational

    facilities are primarily designed for the residents. The discussion of the recreational areas within the project brings to light the question of the possible service community which would grow out of the development.


  25. It has been estimated by the Appellant that 807 persons in terms of average annual construction employment will be needed for the five phases of the development. Discussion of these aspects of the project begins on page 82 of Exhibit "B". Based upon this projection, the possibility exists that some satellite community would form in the immediate vicinity of the project site, in view of the distances between the project site and the towns of Ocala and Gainesville. None of the surrounding communities, nor the developer have specifically addressed the deployment of the so called satellite community, in terms of housing, essential services and recreation.


  26. Another consideration which is in dispute is the archaeological significance of the project land and the necessary steps to preserve these archaeological finds. A discussion of the archaeology of this site is found on pages 59 through 80 of Exhibit "B". The dispute arises over the necessary steps to the preservation of the archaeologically significant sites, with the Appellee suggesting compliance with the recommendation of the archaeologist's report in Exhibit "B" and the Appellants desiring to make a site by site isolation of the significant archaeological finds and subsequent preservation of those sites at the point of development encounter. Another similar issue is game preservation. There is evidence that the Florida Panther has passed through the development area since tracks were found on the western part of the proposed development.

    In addition, the Florida Sandhill Crane and Wood Ibis have been sited at Tuscaeilla Lake, on the wet prairie just south of that body of water at the northwest pond. Further discussion of these endangered species and other species of wildlife is found on pages 56 and 57 of the Exhibit "B". A statement by a witness of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission was to the effect that the Florida Panther will not stay in the area which is developed to the extent proposed herein.


  27. Finally, consideration was given to the question of the sequence of permitting within the five phases of the proposed project. The Appellee has expressed a desire to withhold local permits until federal and state permits were given, which would have an effect on how local permits would be granted. The Appellants are concerned that these local permits in the initial phases, not be held up while waiting for federal or state permits which would pertain to a latter phase. This is a particular concern in view of the fact that the stated five year build out of the project does not seem to be realistic and the actual build out will be between ten and twenty years from the point of any DRI permitting. The requirement for obtaining federal and state permits prior to the local permits at the commencement of each phase and obtaining a general statement of commitment by the federal and state systems in the later phases, was discussed as a solution in the bridge over Interstate-75 and would seem an appropriate solution to other issues similarly in dispute.


    CONCLUSIONS OF LAW


  28. The Division of Administrative Hearings has jurisdiction in this cause in accordance with Chapter 380, Florida Statutes and by the action of the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission of February 4, 1975.


  29. In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, and upon consideration of the facts, it is concluded as a matter of law that the Application for Development Approval for a Development of Regional Impact filed

with the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council on August 20, 1975, for preliminary review, should be denied, for the following reasons:


  1. The development is inconsistent with local land development regulations.


  2. The development is inconsistent with the report and recommendations of the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council.


  3. The development is alien to the existing environment in the immediate surrounding area.


  4. The number of persons likely to be residents in the development is inconsistent with identifiable growth patterns in the area.


  5. There is the likelihood of an additional or subsidiary development in the area which has not been adequately considered in the DRI application.


RECOMMENDATION


It is recommended that the Application for Development Approval for a Development of Regional Impact filed with the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council on August 20, 1975 for preliminary review be denied.


DONE AND ENTERED this 29th day of October, 1976, in Tallahassee, Florida.
