are adjacent to the project's northern boundary. The appli- cant is currently working on providing alternative access for these parcels, thus precluding the need for the designated collector. The deletion of the designated secondary collector would require a comprehensive plan amendment; therefore, approval of this project would be conditioned on approval of this comprehensive plan amendment. If the comprehensive plan amendment fails, the applicant will have to revise its conceptual PRD application. 11. Landscaping/Buffering: The conceptual plan states that only species native to the barrier island (such as Live Oaks, Laurel Oaks, Red Bays, Mangroves, and Cabbage Palms) will be used to fulfill the County's landscape requirements. This will be specifically and comprehensively addressed at the time of preliminary PRD plan review. The conceptual plan includes a 25' perimeter setback to preserve existing vege- tation, mostly citrus, on the west side of A -1-A and coastal dune and hammock vegetation on the east side. Brazilian peppers and Australian Pines will be removed from portions of the site where they do not form necessary buffers. The conceptual layout of the beach club is arranged to preserve some of the large existing trees on the site. The developer will investigate the use of the tree preservation parking credit provided for in the landscape ordinance as part of any subsequent preliminary PRD plan. Buffering the project from Jungle Trail (if preserved) must be provided for, as well as visually buffering as much of the project as possible from the river (Pelican Island Wildlife Refuge). Staff's recommendation at the end of this report addresses this additional buffering. 12. Phasing: A total of 3 phases is proposed, with the first phase to include most of the southern portion of the site. Each phase will "stand alone" in regards to providing re- quired improvements and meeting County standards and regu- lations. 13. Dedication and Improvements: The applicant has agreed to the following dedication and improvements: 1. The dedication of twenty feet of property for A -1-A right-of-way, prior to site plan release. 2. The construction of an eight foot wide public bikeway along the west side of the property's A -I -A frontage, prior to any C.O. 3. The dedication of at least 60' of usable frontage on the Indian River to meet the project's access to public water bodies requirement for the applicant's river frontage. The applicant has opted to pay cash, to the County's Beach park improvement fund, for the project's required 30' access dedication to public water bodies requirement for the project's ocean frontage. The fees will be paid to the County in a proportional amount to the ocean area being developed, prior to any final PRD approval for the development east of A -1-A. 4. If the County's interest in Jungle Trail is abandoned, the applicant has agreed to dedicate more than the 60' of river frontage required, and improve the riverside park area to facilitate public recreational use. The land dedication will occur prior to release of the phase I PRD plan and the improvements will be construc- ted prior to C.O. of any phase II improvements. FEB 2 3 1988 50 BOOK 71 OGE 50
