1) The widening of 55th Avenue to to the southeast corner of the 2) The deletion of Lake #2. 22 feet wide from Wabasso Road property; and An analysis of the approved site is as follows: ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The subject property on which the proposed golf club site is located is on the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. The Ridge is important to maintaining the freshwater interface between the Surficial Aquifer and the high cloride waters of the Indian River. Any major disturbance or alteration of the Ridge increases the potential for saltwater intrusion into the Aquifer. Proposed lake #3 is located in an area previously mined. A field inspection conducted on April 25, 1986 revealed that the aquifer in this area is currently exposed and that construction of the lake would not create any additional disturbance to the aquifer.. The developer will actually improve the current situation by utilizing fill from the lake to cover other exposed areas, thereby providing additional overburden. Proposed lake #1 will be utilized primarily for irrigation. The proposed location is westward of the Ridge crest, providing a lesser degree of impact to the Aquifer. The acreage involved with this proposed lake is consistent with County's policy of allowing the minimum acreage needed to develop golf courses on the Sand Ridge. Proposed lake #2 is placed on the site primarily for aesthetic purposes. Because of this type of use, staff recommends that the site plan be approved with the condition that lake #2 be deleted. ANALYSIS 1. Size of Property: 201.7 acres 2. Zoning Classification: RM -6, Multiple Family Zoning 3. Land Use Designation: LD -2, Low Density Residential, up to 6 units per acre 4. Building Area: None 5. Off -Street Parking Spaces Required: 72 spaces Provided: 128 spaces 6. Traffic Circulation: The site will be accessed from 55th Avenue, and a 22 foot wide two-way driveway will be con- structed to serve the clubhouse and parking lot. The applicant will widen 55th Avenue from 20 to 22 feet wide and overlay the length of roadway from Wabasso Road to the southeast corner of the subject property. The Thoroughfare Plan Map identifies the King's Highway corridor as a secondary collector as it continues 3/4 of a mile north of Wabasso Road and terminates midway through the proposed golf course. The staff has determined that it will not be necessary to amend the Thoroughfare Plan Map prior to site plan approval, and any revisions will be considered during the next Comprehensive Plan application period in July. An amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan will not be necessary at this time for the following reasons: 1. The Thoroughfare Plan Map reflects general policy concerning future road development and, therefore, road realignments and road classification modifications of a limited nature are reasonable when sufficient justifi- cation is present; 43 MAY 21 1 sooK 64 � J
