“The defendant was initially placed on two years of community control. After violation of community control three months later, the defendant was again placed on two years of community control and, as a special condition of community control, was required to serve 240 days in county jail. Two years is the maximum period of community control available for any one offense. § 948.01(5), Fla.Stat. (1989).' Because the total term of community control imposed exceeds two years, the sentence is illegal.”

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5Appellee's Motion for Rehearing is hereby granted. Upon reconsideration of the appellee's brief, we find that our opinion remains unchanged and therefore reissue our original opinion.

¶6In reviewing this Anders appeal, we have observed an error in the sentence that requires correction on remand. The defendant was initially placed on two years of community control. After violation of community control three months later, the defendant was again placed on two years of community control and, as a special condition of community control, was required to serve 240 days in county jail.[1] Two years is the maximum period of community control available for any one offense. § 948.01(5), Fla. Stat. (1989). Because the total term of community control imposed exceeds two years, the sentence is illegal.

¶7SENTENCE VACATED; REMANDED for resentencing.

¶8COWART, HARRIS and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.

NOTES

¶9[1] Credit was given for forty-five days time served.
