rr-- -1 AUG 21 1990 Planning Director Stan Boling advised that the engineer on the project is working with County staff on the expansion of the Sea Oaks wastewater plant on the northern boundary. When the wastewater plant expansion comes through for site plan.approval, it will be required to provide buffering where it is adjacent to residential property , and the Coquina project is also required to provide buffering through the PRD process. For instance, they are providing the 25 -ft. setback and buffering area adjacent to this. Under the new Land Development Regulations and the present policies, the property owners can work together to to use that as one buffering area, and it is our understanding that the - applicant is willing to do that and will be working that out with the County Planning staff. Commissioner Bird questioned the wisdom of not having any vegetation disturbed in the 30 -ft. width setback along Jungle Trail, and felt we should be encouraging developers to remove the exotic vegetation, such as Brazilian pepper trees and Australian pines, and replace it with native vegetation. Community Development Director Bob Keating advised that the Jungle Trail Management Plan provides for the removal of exotics there when there is a plan to revegetate with native vegetation. It isn't a total prohibition of removal of pepper trees and Australian pines there; it is just that there is no overall requirement to go in and remove them from that area as there is for the rest of the project. Commissioner Bird didn't see anything in staff's recommendation that really encourages the developer to go into that area and replace the exotics with other vegetation that we would find more desirable. He would like to see us encourage that along there. Director Keating felt we may want to do that because it is an overall objective of the management plan and that could be added as a condition here. 32
