APR 28 1992 moo. a The land to the west, northwest, and southwest of the subject property was affected by recent changes to the county's future land use plan map. In conformance with a stipulated settlement agreement between the county and the State Department of Community Affairs to bring the county's plan into compliance with state regulations, the county amended its plan to change its urban service area boundary and reduce densities. As a result of the amendment, the urban service area boundary in this area became the west property line of the subject site. With the change in the urban service area boundary, those lands to the west of the subject property were excluded from the urban service area and redesignated AG -1. Environment The subject property has several important environmental characteristics. One such characteristic is its flood designation. While most of the property lies within Flood Zone X, which is defined as an area outside of the 100 year flood zone, a small portion of the property lies in Flood Zone AE. Such an AE zone characterizes areas subject to 100 year flood events. According to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wetlands Inventory maps, wetlands exist on the subject property. Aerial photography and field verification have confirmed that temporarily flooded- freshwater wetlands are present. The following is a rough estimate of wetland acreage on site. A wetland boundary survey is required for a more accurate delineation of wetland areas. Freshwater Emergent Temporarily 0.69 acres Flooded Wetlands Freshwater Scrub - Shrub 2.50 acres Seasonally Flooded Wetland Open Water Pond 0.21 acres Man-made The remainder of the subject property is native uplands, primarily southern flatwoods with pinetree canopy and palmetto underbrush. While portions of the uplands have been disturbed for residential use, the disturbed areas contain herbaceous ground cover instead of palmetto underbrush and retain functional values as native upland habitat. Utilities and Services The site is located within the Urban Service Area (USA). County water is available to the property with water lines from the South County Water Plant within J mile of the site. The subject property is located within the Central County Wastewater Service area; however, wastewater lines do not currently extend to the site. Transportation The property has access to 58th Avenue (Kings Highway) via 57th Street. Kings Highway is classified as an urban principal arterial road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. This segment of Kings Highway is a two lane paved road with approximately sixty (60 ) feet of public road right-of-way. Fifty-seventh ( 57th) Street is classified as a collector road; this segment of 57th Street is a two lane unpaved road with approximately thirty (30) feet of Public road right-of-way. 16
