CHAPTER 3
DEVELOPMENTAL PROCEDURES AND REGULATIONS
SECTION 1: DEVELOPMENT ORDER
a) In General
No development activity shall be undertaken unless the activity is authorized by a development order reflecting conformance with the requirements of this Code.
A development order shall be issued by the Town only after the approval of conceptual or final development plans or a Memorandum of Agreement, as required by the Land Development Regulations. A development order allows for the initiation of development activities, including land clearing, site preparation, utility construction, road construction, and building construction or for the rezoning of land to PUD, PFD or CP.
b) Exceptions to the Requirement for a Development Order
A development order is not required for the following activities, when the proposed development conforms to the standards and permitting requirements of the Town of Lady Lake Land Development Regulations (hereinafter referred to as "the Code"):
1) The construction or alteration of a one or two family dwelling on a lot of record as of the date of adoption of this Code, or lot created under the terms of the Code.
2) The construction of an accessory structure on a previously developed single family lot.
3) The alteration of an existing structure which does not enlarge the effective size or capacity of the structure.
4) Demolition of a structure.
5) The clearing of trees or vegetation, changing of grade, or alteration of wetlands when independent of other development activity on the site.
6) The resurfacing of a vehicle use area.
c) Contents
A development order shall include the following:
1) The name of the proposed development, the legal description of the property, and, where appropriate, its street address.
2) The approved development plans which show the proposed development activity.
3) The name of the project engineer, date of the approved plans, and the latest revision number on the plans.
4) Reference to any development agreements or other legal documents that are a part of, or control, the proposed development.
5) Any special conditions of the development approval, such as off-site improvements, phasing, or other actions or events required prior to the issuance of building permits or certificates of occupancy.
6) The issuance and expiration dates of the development order.
7) Any approved permit packages from other agencies with jurisdiction.
d) Conditions of Issuance
All development orders are issued contingent upon the following:
1) The accuracy of information provided in the development plans and associated documents. Inaccuracies that affect compliance with the Town Code, or the soundness of engineering design, may be considered grounds for the voiding of a development order.
2) Copies of all permits from federal, state, and regional or county agencies with jurisdiction over any portion of the proposed development shall be presented to the Town prior to the issuance of the development order. The Town Manger may issue limited permits for activities not related to outstanding agency permits unless there is reason to believe that such permits may not be forthcoming or may substantially deviate from the approved plans.
3) The clarification of discrepancies within the approved plans or associated documents. Where there are contradictions or discrepancies, the Town may require their correction based on the requirements of the Code, and as appropriate to the internal consistency of the documents.
e) Expiration of a Development Order
All development orders shall have an expiration date clearly noted, after which construction may not begin unless construction has been initiated prior to the expiration date. Expiration dates shall be as stated in the individual chapters.
1) Improvement Plan approval for subdivisions and P.U.D.s shall expire after twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance if no final plat of a phase or of the total project has been initiated.
2) Site Development Plan approval shall expire after one (1) year from the date of issuance. (See extension policy below.)
3) Conceptual plans for PUD, PFD and CP zoning approvals shall expire based on the terms of the approved development agreement and any phasing plan therein.
f) Extension of Expiration Date
The expiration date for a development order may be extended as stated under the specific regulations in the chapters relating to the individual type of development or situation.
g) Modification of a Development Order
Modifications to development orders shall be as stated in the specific regulations in the chapters relating to the individual type of development or situation.
