10) Environmental Issues: The applicant proposes to <br />excavate and construct a 13 acre lake in the middle <br />of the site. The lake is to have a depth of 8', with <br />maximum slopes of 1:3. (see attached profile). It <br />is to be used for stormwater management and for <br />recreational use (canoeing and possibly fishing). <br />pursuant to conditions described under "Drainage <br />Plan", the quality of water directed into the lake <br />has been addressed. The applicant has applied for <br />permits from the St. Johns River Water Management <br />District. <br />11) Utilities: The entire project is to be served by <br />County water and an on-site treatment facility. A <br />two acre treatment facility site is provided next to <br />Oslo Road. The first phase of the project shall be <br />served by a temporary on-site septic system. All <br />utilities are to be located underground. The <br />Utilities Services Division and the Environmental <br />Health Director have approved the conceptual plans. <br />12) Recreational Areas: The proposed plan would provide <br />amounts of open space in excess of the required <br />minimum open space. Also, minimum recreation area <br />requirements would be met with five recreation areas <br />distributed throughout the entire site. These areas <br />are to include passive recreation space, picnic <br />facilities, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a <br />recreation building, and small docks for use in the <br />.lake (to be used for canoeing and possibly fishing). <br />13) Accessory Commercial Area: Pursuant to provisions in <br />the PRD ordinance [25 (A) 4 (e) (3) c] , limited accessory <br />commercial uses are allowed in a project of this <br />size. The applicant proposes to utilize the maximum <br />amount of allowable accessory commercial area (31,500 <br />sq. ft.) to be built in the sixth and final phase -of <br />the project. All accessory commercial criteria are <br />met by the proposal with one exception: the applicant <br />proposes to locate the project's commercial area <br />directly behind the Oslo Lake Shopping Plaza. The <br />location would be within 200' of the PRD project <br />boundary, which is not permitted according to the <br />criteria [25 (A) 4 (e) (3) c. iv] . The intent of the 200' <br />location criterion is to screen the accessory <br />commercial use from the general public, to ensure use <br />predominately by project residents. <br />Staff supports the applicant's proposal in that the <br />accessory commercial area would be adjacent to an <br />existing commercial use, would be physically screened <br />from Oslo Road by the Oslo Lake Shopping Plaza, and <br />would have no store fronts or signage visible from <br />Oslo Road. Thus, the accessory commercial area could <br />be oriented away from Oslo Road and towards the <br />project, and no residences would have to back up to <br />the rear of an existing commercial development. In <br />addition, the developer is planning to provide <br />controlled private entrances to the project. The <br />provision of the PRD ' ordinance prohibiting the <br />proposed accessory commercial location could be <br />waived simply by approval of the conceptual PRD plan. <br />64 <br />JAN 2 21986 Book 63 r,r GE 392 <br />L , <br />
