conditions (see attachment 2). That minor modification was to recommended condition #2 which addresses improvements along the project access route from SR 60 to the project site. The condition change recommended by the PZC has now been incorporated into staff s recommended condition #2 and will provide more latitude to the Public Works Department to determine the appropriate right-of- way improvements (if any) during the review and approval of the project's County right-of-way permit (see analysis section item #6 below for more details). ANALYSIS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Size of Development: 423.81 acres Note: There is an approximately three acre grove maintenance site located along the west side of the project site (see attachment 6). That site is not included in FPL's purchase agreement, will be retained by the current owner (West Vero Farms, LLC), and will be combined via a unity of title with an adjacent parcel owned by West Vero Farms, LLC. Prior to site plan release, the applicant must provide a recorded unity of title that combines the grove maintenance site with the adjacent parcel owned by West Vero Farms, LLC. This item has now been completed, but is included in this report for the record and for informational purposes. Zoning Classification: A-2, Agricultural -2 (up to 1 unit per 10 acres) Land Use Designation: AG -2, Agricultural -2 (up to 1 unit per 10 acres) Impervious Area: Proposed: 587,780 square feet or 13.49 acres Open Space: Required: 80% Proposed: 97% Note: The solar arrays are post -mounted above the existing grade (i.e. the existing ground level), which will remain unaltered underneath the arrays. The open ground underneath the arrays is considered open space. 6. Traffic Circulation: Primary access to the proposed project site will be provided via a gated, stabilized two-way driveway connection to 102nd Avenue, which is a semi -improved dirt road located within St. Johns Improvement District (SJID) right-of-way. The proposed site layout includes a modified grid network of 16' to 20' wide stabilized access pathways to allow maintenance vehicles access throughout the site (see attachment 7). In accordance with County LDRs, the applicant has submitted a project traffic study which has been reviewed and conditionally approved by Public Works. Based on the review of that study, Public Works recommended a condition that certain improvements be provided at all culvert crossings that crossed a County -owned or maintained right-of-way (ROW) along the proposed project access route. The proposed project construction access route is 98d' Avenue from SR 60 to the project site as shown in the attached exhibit (see attachment 4). Public Works staff typically reviews construction access location(s), routes, and needed improvements prior to construction commencing via the review of the County right-of-way permit application, and that permit application is typically submitted after site plan approval.
