Access Control must be considerable since State Road 60 is classified as an Arterial and 66th Avenue as a primary collector. This would be addressed in site plan review which is necessary for multi -family development. Traffic generated by a development at 4 units/acre on the subject property will impact the inter- section of State Road 60 and 66th Avenue to a point where signalization may be required in the near future. The level of service should not deteriorate as a result of development of the site at 4 units/acre (i.e. stable traffic flow character- istics should be maintained). WATER SITUATION: Demand for water is related directly to population. According to International City Management Association figures, the average demand for personal use as well as use from supporting services is 150 gallons per day per person. Based on this demand an estimate of water consumption, for development of the 142 acre site at 4 units per acre, can be derived. 142 acres x4 units/acre (maximum density) 568 total units (maximum) x2.2 persons per unit (Census Bureau Standards) 1 50 projected population x150 average gallons per day per person 187,500 approximate gallons per day demand Agricultural uses also demand large quantities of water. This ZZZ demand is in part, based upon the amount of rainfall, the type of irrigation system which is used and the intensity of the agricultural use. ` AGRICULTURAL LAND: The subject property is presently zoned for agricultural use as is much of the. surrounding land. With the proper improve- ments the site is obviously suited for agriculture as evidenced by the existing use of approximately 50 percent of the property. With the proper improvements the land would also be well suited for residential development and without improvement the land, as most land within Indian River County, would not be suitable for agricultural or residential use due to natural drainage problems. SURROUNDING UI E, ZONING, & LAND USE DESIGNATIONS: North of the subject property the land is zoned for agriculture and designated RR -1 in the Comp-r_ehensive Plan. This land use classification allows up to one unit for _each 2.5 acres and provides a transition between agriculture --and urban development areas. The RR -1 classification is designed to provide areas where low density residential neighborhoods are established and maintained. Limited new planting of groves is occurring directly north of the subject property, however, much of this land is presently occupied by old groves or is vacant. South of the subject property, across State Road 60, the land is zoned for agriculture and designated LD -2 (up to 6 units/ acre) in the Comprehensive Plan. A single family residence lies on the southwest corner of State Road 60 and 66th Avenue. Groves, pasture and scrubland are located south of this structure. MAY 191982 coif 7
