This proposal modifies the site plan which was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its regular meeting of May 12, 1988. Changes to the plan include relocating several buildings, changing unit types, increasing the number of total units by 7, and adding a boat ramp and recreation facility onto the adjacent canal along the project's northern border (See attachments 4 & 5). As part of the aforementioned modifications, the applicant sought specific approval to construct a boat ramp onto the adjacent_ canal, along the project's northern border (see attachment #6). In denying this portion of the project, the Planning and Zoning Commission cited incompatibility with the adjacent River Shores subdivision, and an increase in undesirable boat traffic and associated negative environmental impacts as reasons for the prohibition of the boat ramp. The agenda item as presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission is included as a part of Attachment 7. SUMMARY OF ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: In presenting this item to the Planning and Zoning Commission staff identified three (3) conditions (as revised at the meeting) of approval. These were: 1. Prior to site plan release, the applicant shall record in cooperation with County Attorney's office, an addi- tional document memorializing the fact that the appli- cant has transferred an additional 7 units from the designated environmentally sensitive areas; 2. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for Phase V, the mitigation wetland areas shall be con- structed, inspected, and approved by the County's Environmental Planning staff; and 3. Prior to site plan release for Phase V, the applicant shall submit a canal access management plan to be approved by the environmental planning staff. After a lengthy discussion in which both the applicant and affect- ed parties participated, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve the plan with conditions #1 and #2 attached. Condition #3 was deleted from the approval and the motion specified that a boat ramp shall not be constructed in conjunction with this plan. ANALYSIS: During the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of January 12, 1989, the affected parties brought up several points of contention with regards to the plan in general. These were: EXPRESSED CONCERN: That action taken by the Board of County Commissioners in 1982 precludes development in an environ- mentally sensitive area that was established by ordinance #82-30. This area is located to the east of the solid double line as shown on attachment #4. The opponents of this plan cite that because of the action taken by the Board at that time, future development of the environmental area cannot be allowed. 11 MAR 2 8 1989 EVU1 76 Ps,E 45i
