ANALYSIS: <br />The following is an analysis of the plan submitted for <br />conceptual special exception approval.' As the applicant will be <br />required to submit a complete site plan application if <br />conceptual special exception approval is granted, the Technical <br />Review Committee process may necessitate changes or revisions. <br />1) Size of Property: 203.0 acres <br />2) Zoning Classification: Existing: LM -1, B-1, A, RM -6, <br />RS -6, and RM -4 <br />Proposed: RM -4 (Multi -family) <br />3) <br />Land Use <br />Designation: <br />LD -2 (Low Density Residential) <br />4) <br />Building <br />Area: 13,300 <br />square feet <br />5) Off-street spaces: sufficient area has been designated to <br />meet County requirements <br />6) Traffic Circulation and Transportation Issues: An existing <br />railroad crossing connecting the site to Old Dixie Highway <br />will be used as the site's point of access. At such time <br />that a railroad crossing at 57th Street is installed, the <br />existing entrance will be closed and only the 57th Street <br />entrance will be utilized. A draft agreement between the <br />County and the applicant (see attachment #4) has been <br />proposed, whereby the developer guarantees to construct the <br />portion of 57th Street that runs through the site, at such <br />time that the County determines the need for the 57th <br />Street extension. <br />The northern boundary of the site forms the centerline of <br />the proposed 61st Street (Pecan Road) extension, as <br />presently shown on the Thoroughfare Plan. Since 61st <br />Street is currently designated as a secondary collector, <br />40' of right-of-way is needed across the site's northern <br />border to presently conform to the Thoroughfare Plan. The <br />applicant has agreed to dedicate this right-of-way prior to <br />the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Because that <br />portion of 61st Street immediately west of the subject <br />property has been abandoned, staff anticipates that the <br />61st Street extension may be removed from the Thoroughfare <br />Plan at some future date. <br />7) Drainage Plan: The conceptual site plan has been reviewed <br />and approved by the County Engineer. <br />8) Landscape Plan: The conceptual site plan is ­in conformance <br />with Ordinance #84-47. <br />9) Utilities: The conceptual site plan has been reviewed and <br />approved by the Utilities Services Division. The applicant <br />proposes to connect to the water and wastewater plants <br />presently serving the Bent Pines development. Also, the <br />applicant has applied to St. Johns River Water. Management <br />District for a consumptive use and a surface water permit. <br />Specific water conservation measures are being addressed in <br />the site plan review process. <br />10) Surrounding Land Uses: North: Vacant property and groves <br />South: Abandoned mining operation <br />East: Heavy commercial uses along <br />Old Dixie Highway <br />West: Bent Pines golf course, <br />residences water and waste- <br />water treatment facilities <br />L <br />35 <br />BOOK 62 PAGE 5 <br />
