Item Title:PL19-006 Dixon Farms Final Plat
Date:5/27/2020
Department:Department of Planning and Economic Opportunity
Background:

The proposed Dixon Park plat consists of 2 parcels on either side of River Road, four miles west of the Town of Callahan. The Development Review Committee heard Raydient Places & Properties LLC’s original proposal for the Dixon Farms plat on May 31, 2018.  The land was originally platted as the Jacksonville Park Unit C plat on December 16, 1925, however, the land was not developed into the numerous lots and streets as had been anticipated at the time of platting.

 

The property had been used for timber production by Rayonier Atlantic Timber Company until April 4, 2018 when it was transferred to Raydient Places & Properties for the purpose of subdividing into lots for single family residential purposes.

 

The parcels are zoned Open Rural with a Future Land Use of Agriculture.  The new subdivision will consist of eleven lots ranging in size from five to eleven acres containing some percentage of wetland and wetland buffers.  Most of the buildable areas fall into the “X” flood zone and each lot contains a fifteen-foot buffer along county-maintained, River Road.


Request:

Approval of the final plat for Dixon Farms, filed by Raydient LLC, dba Raydient Places + Properties, LLC, owner, and Jim Law, agent for owner, for a partial vacation and replat of a portion of the underlying Jacksonville Park Unit C plat.  The parcels are zoned Open Rural with a Future Land Use of Agriculture.  The new subdivision will consist of eleven lots ranging in size from five to eleven acres, each containing some percentage of wetland and wetland buffers.  The proposed Dixon Park plat consists of two parcels on either side of River Road, four miles west of the Town of Callahan. Staff recommends approval.
