<br />very hard to invite a developer to develop this project. He introduced Dave Knight to speak on <br />some of the controls designed to protect the neighbors. <br />Chairman Ginn thought this Policy would preclude retail, and Director Boling specified that <br />it would not preclude retail and explained how this Policy was developed and how staff had worked <br />with the applicant and developer to limit the commercial portion. <br />David Knight, <br />Knight McGuire, representing the developer, advised that he has tried to <br />design elements to help address concerns of the neighbors that have come up since the last P & Z <br />th <br />meeting. Primarily these controls involve the construction and proposed uses along 98 Avenue. <br />th <br />He displayed a sketch (see Page 118 of the backup) showing an unpaved road (98 Avenue) <br />currently being used by the mining operation for dump trucks taking fill west for the SR-60 <br />th <br />road-widening construction. The developer has proposed to construct a new (paved) 98 Avenue <br />to divert those trucks off the unpaved road. A 10-foot landscape area would be constructed on the <br />th <br />east side of the new 98 Avenue. This would create a county road having a 5-foot berm with <br />landscaping on the west side and a 10-foot Type “C” buffer on the east side of the road. This new <br />road and treatment would extend to the north along the commercial development. He explained the <br />cross roads from the unpaved to the paved roadways and detailed how movement would occur out <br />of the project area, describing traffic-routing signage to limit traffic actually traveling on the new <br />th <br />98 Avenue. The existing unpaved road would remain but its entrance/exit to SR-60 will be closed. <br />thth <br /> The new paved 98 Avenue will line up with 98 Avenue on the south side of SR-60 and there will <br />be a signal at that intersection. One of the streets on the north side of SR-60 will have to be <br />renamed. He hoped the school buses could pick up the children somewhere off the highway. <br />th <br />Edward Krygeris, <br /> 2400 84 Court, Paradise Park, who owns property in Vero Tropical <br />Gardens, looked to the Board to provide the residents consideration and mitigation for the negative <br />impact this development will bring to them. <br />In response to Vice Chairman Neuberger, Director Keating advised there are 20 homes west <br />of I-95 on 300 lots; very few remaining lots are buildable. <br />February 17, 2004 10 <br /> <br />
