BACKGROUND AND CONDITIONS: At its regular meeting of February 28, 1989 the Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to "conceptually" approve the Harbor Town Center development order (D.O.) subject to some language changes to be finalized and approved at the March 14, 1989 Board meeting. Taking into consideration the concerns and ideas expressed by the Board at the February 28th meeting, staff researched alternatives and produced several "working draft" iterations that were reviewed and commented upon internally and by the applicant and its agents. Staff now proposes revisions to the D.O. ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVES Although the Board discussed and clarified several items within the D.O. regarding landscaping/open space, bumper stops, drainage, utilities, and fire protection, it was concluded that only two issues needed to be more adequately addressed via revisions to the D.O. These two areas relate to stormwater discharge and construc- tion deadlines. °Stormwater Discharge Although the ADA includes an acknowledgement by the applicant that the project is not within the Indian River Farms Water Control District and that the project cannot legally and will not dis- charge stormwater into the North Relief Canal, nothing in the originally proposed D.O. specifically prohibited discharge into the Canal. (It was verified by the Public Works director that the developer may be able to obtain a legal positive outfall to the Indian River, with all applicable stormwater quality standards being met.) To ensure that the project will not discharge stormwater into the North Relief Canal, staff proposes the following sentence be added to the beginning of condition #12 of the D.O.: "No stormwater shall be discharged from the site into the North Relief Canal." °Construction Deadlines The originally proposed D.O. established three construction deadlines: a three-year (1992) deadline for commencement of any portion of the project; a December 31, 1993 deadline for commencement of the mall; and an estimated December 31,. 1996 deadline for total project completion. The Board expressed the desire to specifically ensure reasonable construction progress of the mall and to ensure that development of the commercial out - parcels outside of the area along U.S. #1 currently zoned commercial did not precede development of the mall. Staff proposes a complete "re -write" of condition #2, which provides for the following: 1. a three-year deadline for commencement of construction for some portion of the project: either an outparcel/residential area or the mall [Condition 2.a.] (NOTE: in staff's opinion, only a minimal amount of outparcel development should be required within this condition: extensive outparcel development should not be encouraged early on in the pro- ject's development); 19 ElOOK WAR 14 98
