5. The applicant will construct a deceleration lane and a left- turn lane on A -1-A at the project entrance, prior to any C.O. 14. The following waivers and PRD option is requested by the applicant: 1. A waiver from internal right-of-way requirements. 2. A waiver from the requirement that all parking spaces must have 6" curbs or tire stops. The applicant pro- poses to use landscaped areas and practice fields for overflow parking during major events. 3. The applicant is requesting a lessening of the required parking for the Beach Club through the PRD ordinance which permits dual use parking. This could enable the applicant to provide one parking area for uses which have two distinct operational hours, such as the pool (a daytime use), and the banquet room (a nighttime use). 4. Under the RS -3 district regulations, attached housing units can be approved through the PRD process. The attached players' quarters are requested as part of the PRD plan. Staff supports all of these requests which may be granted by the Board pursuant to the PRD ordinance. SPECIAL ISSUES: A. Environmental Concerns: 1. Pelican Island Wildlife Refuge: The site's westernmost boundary abuts the refuge, (as expanded) which is under State and Federal control. Any proposals to construct public or private docks or other recreation facilities within the refuge would have to receive State and Federal approval prior to development. Staff recommends a visual buffer from the project by which only permitted docks or other recreation -related structures could be seen along the River's edge. 2. Stormwater runoff: General development and animal waste runoff into the adjacent section of the river (desig- nated as part of an Aquatic Preserve and Outstanding Florida Waters) is an expressed concern. Staff 'has contacted S.J.R.W.M.D. and the D.E.R. regarding the proposed project. The applicant will have to demon- strate during the preliminary PRD plan review process that all applicable stormwater quality standards will be met. An "internalized" wet detention/retention system would retain stormwater on site (generally required to hold the run-off from a 25 year storm event) with a filtered overflow outfall to the river. 3. Disposal of Animal Waste: Up to 300 horses will be kept on-site during the polo match season. The applicant proposes a daily maintenance plan to clean-up all fields and stalls (to contain absorbent shavings), "storing" wastes in appropriate containers with regular dumping at the County landfill. County Utilities has verified that the landfill could accept such wastes, possibly com- posting it. 4. Wetlands Development/Mitigation: The applicant proposes the filling and development of approximately 5 acres of wetlands impacted by exotics, on the east side of Jungle Trail, to be mitigated by the restoration and enhance- ment of approximately 5 acres of upland and transitional land on the river side of Jungle Trail.
