JUN 1.8 1989, COOK `j FA Q 5. Surrounding Uses/Zoning: North: vacant/RM-6 South: golf course/RM-6 East: golf course, planned for POD I (residential)/RM-6 West: proposed Indian River Boulevard, vacant/RM-6 6. Environment and Site Conditions: The site contains some significant hardwood "hammock" areas: Out of 34 existing "protected" trees on site (all oak), only 7 are to be removed; 27 are to be preserved. In staff's opinion, the facility has been well-designed to preserve trees, and thus adequately protect the site's main environmentally significant characteristics. 7. Landscaping and Buffering: A 25' (minimum) landscape perimeter buffer area is provided around the entire site. The combination of preserved trees, planted trees, and hedging will exceed landscape require- ments. The proposed perimeter buffering meets or exceeds "Type B" landscape screening requirements. 8. Open Space: Required: 50% (total PRD) Provided: 58%+ (total PRD) [4 acre site: 49%] 9. Recreation Space: Requirement applies only to residential unit development. Overall PRD exceeds requirements with golf course, tennis, club, and bikepath facilities. 10. Drainage: A stormwater permit will be issued along with the land development permit. Public Works has approved the site plan drainage layout. 11. Utilities: Water and sewer services will be provided by the County. Utilities permits will be obtained prior to issuance of a land development permit. 12. Traffic Circulation: The site is to be accessed differently in the two phases of the project. In the first phase., the project is to be accessed by a temporary stabilized, unpaved driveway which is to connect `to the existing Grand Harbor Boulevard. The route of this road is to run within the Indian River Boulevard right-of-way. In the second phase, a permanent paved driveway is to connect to the constructed Boulevard at an approved future Boulevard median cut which is to serve several parcels that "line up" with the median cut. The applicant has submitted a certified cost estimate for the phase 2 driveway construction as well as for construction of a deceleration lane, and -has agreed to escrow funds to guarantee construction. During land development permit review, Public Works will have to approve the alignment and specifications of the temporary driveway, as well as arrange- ments for temporary re -alignment during Boulevard con- struction. Public Works has requested that, as part of the land develop- ment permit application, the applicant submit a traffic impact analysis and commit to any traffic improvements indicated as necessary by the analysis. The applicant has agreed to this condition; no improvements are known to be needed at this time. The facility will be connected to both 28 - M M
