Motion passed unanimously, voice vote, 6-0.

Vice-Mayor Hartz moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Board of Commissioners approval of the Preliminary Development Plan for Harding Academy, subject to the following conditions:

1. Substantial compliance with the Preliminary Development Plan, including all items listed under “Plans Reviewed” in this staff report.
2. The Scotts Creek greenway and stream management buffer shall be dedicated to the City as indicated in the City Stream Management Buffer Regulations. Harding Academy shall be permitted to erect a fence on their property in accordance with the fence regulations, and shall not be required to provide pedestrian or vehicular access to the general public from the campus to the stream management buffer.

The Stream Management Buffer Plan, an SDDP deliverable, shall not exclude Harding Academy from utilizing the stream management buffer for cross country team training on a natural footpath, nor from utilizing the buffer for an outdoor classroom. Naturalistic and passive improvements for these activities shall be permitted, subject to approval with the Stream Management Buffer Plan and SDDP.
3. Security for all public improvements indicated in the PDP shall be provided. The southern portion of Seed Tick Road, shown in Phasing Plan Scenario 2 and other applicable PDP plan sheets, shall be completed no later than when Harding Academy obtains a building occupancy permit for the
Phase 1 academic building. All of the remainder of Seed Tick Road, as shown in Phasing Plan Scenario 1 and other applicable PDP plan sheets, shall be completed either within 3 years of the completion of the required Texas Gas line upgrades, or within 7 years of Harding Academy obtaining a building occupancy permit for the Phase 1 academic building, whichever occurs first. All other public improvements shall be completed as indicated in the PDP, and as indicated in the conditions in the MPC Staff Report, dated 9-21-2009.
4. Overhead electric lines shall not be installed on the site. Lines extended from existing OHE shall be buried, subject to MLGW approval.
5. The conservation easement shall be extended to abut and coincide with the edge of the Scotts Creek Stream Management Buffer and shall be extended as far north toward the ring road as is deemed practicable by MPC with the applicable SDDP detailed grading plan and tree survey. If anything larger than 22' of pavement, or more than secondary access, is requested for the future Hwy 70 access drive, an additional analysis of the impact on overall traffic circulation on the site and ring road shall be required for consideration before access is approved by the City of Lakeland MPC and BOC. The access, if installed, may be permitted a total right-of-way or clearance width in excess of the maximum 22' of pavement, but shall minimize impacts on the adjacent land and natural resources to the extent practicable. The access, if installed, shall be within 200' of the Stream Management Buffer.
6. If the applicable SDDP shows substantial numbers of specimen trees being removed outside of the proposed new Seed Tick Road right-of-way, and within the oak-hickory stand group lying approximately within 600’ of the proposed new right-of-way, a mitigation plan shall be provided with the Phase 1 SDDP, offsetting tree removal, by placing trees of an equivalent value in other site locations. These locations shall include, but not be limited to, the Stream Management Buffer, the Scenic Corridor Landscape and Pedestrian Easements, The Conservation Easement, the area immediately east of the excepted lot near Seed Tick Road, and other interior areas of the site. The value of the replacement trees shall be a minimum of 75% of equivalent density units removed in the oak hickory stand. This mitigation is above the total minimum density requirement for the site. The Tree Bank (monetary contribution) may be utilized if necessary because plantings cannot be made to fit on the site.

The mitigation plan shall be reviewed by staff with the SDDP, shall be subject to a recommendation by MPC with the SDDP, and shall be subject to approval by the Board of Commissioners.

The mitigation plan should be added to the SDDP Deliverables, per the above.

7. The items on the attached Errors and Omissions Addendum shall be corrected before docketing for any Board of Commissioners meeting. (See Attachment)
