Title
Committee action on a variance request from Article 10 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to reduce the maintenance assurance for Newport Cove PUD - District 1.
Staff Summary
· Newport Cove PUD is located one-half mile north of Grass Lake Road on Bluff Lake and Elime Roads in Antioch Township.
· On October 1 the Committee granted the developer's request for a variance to extend the performance and maintenance periods for the subdivision beyond the three-year term limit established by Article 10 of the UDO, subject to conditions.
· The developer has satisfied the conditions and is preparing to implement activities to address the outstanding deficiencies prior to the onset of winter and has requested a variance to further reduce her maintenance assurance to cover the remaining costs of the improvements. A reduction in the maintenance assurance requires a variance from Article 10 as the ordinance precludes maintenance assurance reductions.
· Staff supports the requested variation and reductions of the subdivision and maintenance assurances.
