Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve this application for conceptual special exception with the following conditions: 1. That a formal mitigation plan be approved by the County Environmental Planning staff and all jurisdictional agencies and that a management plan be approved by the Governor's subcommittee, prior to issuance of a land development permit. 2. Littoral zone plans must be approved by the County's Environmental Planning staff prior to the issuance of a land development permit. 3. A cut and fill waiver must be obtained prior to the issuance of a land development permit. 4. A conservation easement must be granted on the final plat, for the area depicted on the conceptual plan. Chairman Wheeler understood that basically we are looking at 4 houses on 23 acres, and Mr. Boling stated that is correct because a lot of that acreage is impoundment. Commissioner Bowman wondered how that lake ever got there, and Roland DeBlois, Chief of Environmental Planning, explained that it is an old borrow pit which is about 15-17 feet deep. Dean Luethje of Carter & Associates, engineers on the project, advised that the material from that mine pit was used to build U.S. #1. Robert Keating, Director of Planning 6 Development, explained that this is an example of some of the mitigation we have been working with in a lot of these projects that have environmental sensitive areas. The main benefit here is the restoration of the mosquito impoundment with its connection to the river. He noted that the Mosquito Control District has been very supportive of this project. Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Bruce Barkett, attorney representing the applicant, advised that the engineers and the environmental consultants on this project are here this morning to answer any questions the Board may have. b - 46 ,ROOK 17 '9 c RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve this application for conceptual special exception with the following conditions: 1.
