    Cherokee SAILOR, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 96-2077.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Nov. 26, 1997.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Raymond Dix, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Trina Kramer, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The aggregate term of years in the appellant’s split sentence of incarceration followed by community control exceeds the sentencing guidelines recommendation, and constitutes a departure which must be supported by written reasons. See State v. Betancourt, 552 So.2d 1107 (Fla.1989); Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.703(d)(29), as adopted in Amendments to Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure re Sentencing Guidelines, 660 So.2d 1374 (Fla.1995). The challenged sentences are therefore vacated due to the absence of written reasons for departure, but because it does not appear that the trial court realized that this is a departure, on remand the court may consider whether departure is appropriate and provide written reasons to support any new departure sentence. See Betancourt. The appealed orders are otherwise affirmed, and the case is remanded for resentencing.
