In plain words
A request to end a 2012 unity-of-title agreement that merged Lots 408 and 409 in the Bella Collina East subdivision, restoring the two original lots.
What changes The unity-of-title agreement is terminated and the original lot lines are reinstated, but recording is contingent on the owner first obtaining a lot line deviation so the existing home meets side-yard setbacks.
Who and the money Applies to Lots 408 and 409 of the Bella Collina East Plat; the record states there is no fiscal impact.
Stated reason (staff, quoted): "The adjustment of the original lot lines will allow the existing home to comply with side yard setbacks outlined in PUDPlanned Unit Development: a custom zoning written for one project, with its own rules for lot sizes, uses and open space, instead of a standard zoning district. Lake County Land Development Regulations, Chapter XIV (rezoning and PUD) OrdinanceA county law. The Board adopts it at an advertised public hearing, and it stays in force until repealed; the county's ordinances are collected in the Code of Ordinances. Florida Statutes 125.66 2020-06."
