MAY, 2119911 mer 83 f'Au 407 all the parking in the front, close to the door. Mr. Mayfield felt the buffering between the single-family residential area to the west consisting of two hundred feet of multifamily residential was sufficient to meet the 10% to 15% required by the ordinance, and pointed out that in the conceptual site plan consideration was given to the upland preservation issue by planning an additional 40 -foot buffer. Another justification for this expansion is taking advantage of internal capture and mitigating the impact to the intersection of U.S.1 and Roseland Road; once the customer is on site they can pretty much do all their shopping without impacting the public road system adversely, or at least to a minimum. Mr. Mayfield discussed the available and planned utilities and how the project would accelerate improvements to both the water and wastewater facilities. He discussed the creation of the node in 1986 by the County Commission and adoption of the same node into the 1990 Comp Plan without further review with regard to what has occurred in the node since that time. Several new facilities, Sand Ridge Shopping Center, McDonald's, Harbor Federal and Bay Street Center, have come on line since the node was created and he felt this creates some changes in the circumstances of the node. Mr. Mayfield mentioned several points of disagreement between the applicant and staff which had been discussed and about which staff had changed their position. This resulted in the removal of the northwest portion of this site from staff's calculation of the percentage of development. Another outcome of discussions with staff was his determination that the 70% criterion would'become a non -issue. Chairman Bird asked if he was referring to the point made regarding whether we have flexibility. County Attorney Vitunac recounted that there was a meeting in his office where the issue of flexibility in regard to the 70% was discussed between himself, Assistant County Attorney Will Collins, Community Development Director Bob Keating and Chief Long -Range Planner Sasan Rohani, with Mr. Nobil and Mr. Mayfield representing the other side. He felt staff is comfortable that the Board can legally grant this if it wants to. Director Keating agreed that if it is determined that the hospital portion is developed and the node there is just a little less than 70% developed the Board could approve it. Attorney Barkett felt an important point to address is the utilities and the fact that a wastewater package plant would be removed and the River's Edge water treatment could be improved and brought down to service the node, including Winn Dixie across the 30
