BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
This is a request to adopt a Resolution that:
• delegates the Board’s authority to approve plats, accept dedications of land pursuant to plats, and execute any documents necessary related to plats to the County Administrator; and
• updates the textual components of plats.
Section 177.071, Florida Statutes, was amended to require administrative approval of plats with no further action by the governing body of a County beginning July 1, 2025; however, the Martin County Land Development Regulations require plats to be approved by the Board of County Commissioners at a public meeting. Based on the mandate that plats be administratively approved, the authority to approve plats and to accept dedications for the County under a plat must be delegated to the County Administrator.
Section 4.912.D., Land Development Regulations, Martin County Code, provides that the required textual components of plats shall be established by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners established the textual components for plats by Resolution Number 02-6.1 on June 4, 2002 and some of the textual components in Resolution Number 02-6.1 are outdated and must be updated.
