JUN 15 1983 a4©K F,, 814 Existing Land Use Pattern - The subject property is presently being utilized as a citrus grove. The areas immediately adjacent to the subject property are also in groves. -Sin- gle-family residences -are located within the groves to the east and north sides of the subject property. In the east, north, and south vicinity of the property lie numerous single-family residential subdivisions. The subdivisions and their respec- tive densities are as follows: 1) Magnolia Estates - 1 unit/acre 2) Kanawha Acres - 1 unit/acre 3) Glendale Lakes - 2.24 units/acre 4) Orangewood Estates - 2 units/acre .5) Idlewild - 3.65 units/acre 6) Sundowners - 2 units/acre 7) Silver Oaks Estates - 1 unit/acre 8) Tropicolony - 4.48 units/acre 9) Old Sugarmill Estates - 1.64 units/acre 10) Raintree Corner - 1.47 units/acre 11) Briarwood - 1 unit/acre 12) Banyan Acres - 1 unit/acre Future Land Use Pattern - The subject property is designated LD -1 (Low Density Residential to a maximum of 3 units/acre) on the;Indian River County Comprehensive Plan. To the west of 58th Avenue, the Plan designates those areas as RR -1 (Ru- ral -Residential to a maximum of .04 units/acre). The existing character of the area and the R-1AA, Single -Family Residential, district proposed by the applicant will serve as an effective intermediate land use buffering the RR -1 land uses from the, more intense land uses of the LD -2 (Low Density Residential to a maximum of 6 units/acre) areas to the east of 43rd Avenue. Traffic - The subject property is served by 58th Avenue, a major arterial, and 16th Street, a secondary collector. If the subject property is developed at the maximum density, it is anticipated that it will generate an additional 535 Average Daily Trips (ADT). This additional traffic will not produce a significant impact on either 16th Street or 58th Avenue. Utilities - The subject property is not served by municipal or county water and sewer service. It is anticipated that the development would be served by individual wells and septic systems. Environment - The subject property is not within a flood hazard zone as depicted on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), nor is it designated as environmentally sensitive on the Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the above analysis, staff recommends approval. Mr. Challacombe wished to point out the R-1AA is the second lowest designation in the county. The surrounding areas are primarily in groves. This is an LD -1 designation. There is LD -2 to the north and east. Directly to the west is RR -1 which is 22 acres per unit. Staff looks at the whole area as being a transition from LD -2 and the lower 79
