rMAY 5197 <br />BOCK 68 FD E 232 <br />deleted from the node thru a comprehensive plan amendment to <br />enlarge the node by 15 acres. The staff is concerned about <br />further commercial development on the south side of County Road <br />512 but concurs with the Planning and Zoning Commissions two <br />recommendations. <br />In most instances, the proposed node boundary follows existing <br />property boundaries. The proposed node boundary does transect <br />two existing property lines. These parcels are rather large, and <br />transecting them with the proposed node boundary will allow the <br />property owners to develop a portion of their property 'for <br />commercial uses. <br />Physical Considerations <br />The slope of the land in the node is from 2 to 4 % with ele- <br />vations ranging from 21' to 25' mean sea -level. <br />The soils in the node possess the following characteristics: poor <br />compaction, poor shrink swell potential and are poorly drained. <br />The aforementioned physical features indicate poor development <br />potentials. <br />Environment <br />The node area is not designated as environmentally sensitive, nor <br />is it located on the sandridge or ten -mile ridge aquifer recharge <br />area. However, approximately 50% of the land in the node is <br />located in the 100 year flood -plain as depicted on the Flood <br />Insurance Rate Map for the area. <br />Access to the Transportation network <br />All of the parcels of land located in the I-95/C.R. 512 commer- <br />cial/industrial node have either primary or secondary access to <br />County Road 512 (designated as an Arterial on the Thoroughfare <br />Plan). The existing interchange at County Road 512 and 1-95 <br />provides access to the major north -south transportation system <br />for the State of Florida, for all of the parcels in the node. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval of the <br />proposed boundary of the I-95/C.R. 512 Commercial /Industrial <br />node as depicted in attachment #3. <br />42 <br />
