(W 22. Public Benefits: For all PD projects, applicants must identify the public benefits that the project will provide in exchange for the requested waivers being sought by the applicant. For Providence Pointe, the public benefits are as follows: Right-of-Way Dedications: Approximately 1.49 acres of right-of-way for 58th Avenue and 2.43 acres of right-of-way for 49th Street will be dedicated. Although the applicant is receiving density credit for those right-of-way dedications, the applicant will dedicate the rights-of-way early in the process (prior to issuance of an LDP for Phase I)which is a timing benefit for the public. The applicant will also dedicate approximately 3.55 acres of right-of-way for 53rd Street and will be seeking density credit or impact fee credit through a developer's agreement. Dedication of that right-of-way will facilitate the ultimate alignment of 53rd Street west of 58th Avenue. That is a public benefit above and beyond a less extensive dedication that would be typical of a conventional project. - Drainage for Public Roads: The project will provide drainage capacity within the project's stormwater system for future improvements to 49t Street, 53rd Street, and to 58th Avenue. Public Access: Certain interior streets will be privately dedicated but open to the public. That will be reflected in the dedication language on the final plats. One privately dedicated open to the public street will be a north/south road connecting 49th Street to 53rd Street. That will allow public vehicular traffic access through the development and to certain project amenities. Internal pedestrian paths: The development will provide 1.5 miles of sidewalk and 1.8 miles of trails along lakes and marshes open to the public. Lakeside Amphitheater: The applicant will provide a lakeside amphitheater that will be in the public access portion of the project and will accommodate public events. - Native upland habitat: The County's code requires that a minimum of 15%of native upland habitat be preserved. In this case,that is 4.31 acres. As proposed, the applicant will preserve 4.89 acres of native upland habitat, a .58 acre increase over the conventional project requirement. Conservation areas: The site will contain over 23 acres of conservation area. Some of those areas will be restored habitat.
