The entire site consists of groves, palms and exotics (peppers and <br />Austrialian pines). The majority of the site will be cleared of <br />all vegetation due to,the fill and excavation work proposed. The <br />applicant will be required to replant according to the landscape <br />ordinance requirements, which will be applied during the review of <br />site plan application. The site will contain 34.1 acres of lake <br />area. The applicant will construct 10 sq. ft. of vegetated <br />littoral zone for every one lineal foot of lake shore for all <br />lakes shown (in accordance with D.O. requirements). The lakes on <br />the site are limited to 10' in depth below the mean highwater <br />level, and have already been approved by the St. John's Water <br />Management District. <br />Pursuant to section 25.3 of the zoning code, Regulation of Special <br />Uses, the Board of County Commissioners is to consider the special <br />exception use criteria for golf courses (specified below) the <br />appropriateness of the requested use based on the submitted <br />conceptual site plan, and the suitability of the site for that <br />use. The County may attach any conditions and safeguards <br />necessary to assure compatibility of the use with the surrounding <br />area. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: <br />An analysis of the submitted conceptual site plan is as follows. <br />1. Size of Property: 144.23 acres <br />2. Zoning Classification: - RM -6, Residential Multi -family and <br />RS -6, Residential Single Family. <br />3. Land Use Designation: MD -1, Medium Density (up to 8 <br />units/acre) <br />4. Building Area: Proposed clubhouse and maintenance facilities <br />are to be site -planned separately. <br />5. Traffic Circulation: The site will use the proposed Paseo <br />del Rio drive to access the golf course site. This proposed <br />drive is to service the golf course and subdivision. Paseo <br />del Rio drive is to connect with 53rd Street, which is <br />presently unpaved. Pursuant to County paving requirements, <br />53rd Street from U.S. 1 to the project's west boundary at <br />Paseo del Rio Drive must be paved. <br />A 25' wide "right-of-way" extension of 53rd Street crosses <br />the southern portion of the project area that has been <br />maintained by the County in the past. Planning staff is <br />processing an application to formally abandon this maitained <br />road segment. This abandonment should take place prior to <br />construction of the course facilities. <br />6. Drainage Plan: The Stormwater Management Plan has been <br />reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department. <br />7. Landscaping: The Landscape Ordinance will be applied to the <br />site plan. No native vegetation exists on the site. There- <br />fore, no preservation of native vegetation applies. <br />To ensure land use compatibility, a permanent 30' wide <br />bufferyard with Type "A" screening should be established <br />along the eastern boundary of the site which abuts the <br />commercially zoned "Harbor Center" area. Provision of this <br />buffer would utilize the open spaces of the golf course <br />development and would facilitate future development of the <br />"Harbor Center" by providing for the required buffer between <br />commercial and residential uses. <br />8. Utilities: "he golf course and subdivision will be serviced <br />by County ..ester and wastewater. The Environmental Health <br />95 <br />APR 1 A 1087 <br />L! <br />BOOK 168 FA GUE 95 <br />
