12. Extended Roadway Grid Network: Per Policy 3.8 of the Transportation Element of the County Comprehensive Plan, the County must consider protection of the extended roadway grid network during the site plan review and approval process. The applicant has provided an extended roadway grid network exhibit showing all potential extended roads that may cross the site at some time in the future (4th Street, lst Street SW, 5th Street SW, 9th Street SW/Oslo Road, and 98th Avenue). Please see attachment 5. The provided exhibit shows alternate corridor alignments for two potential extended road locations (1St Street SW and 5th Street SW). Those alternate alignments correspond with the proposed on-site stabilized access paths, and are clear of proposed solar panel arrays. Staff has reviewed the proposed alternate corridor alignments and has confirmed that those alignments provide adequate protection for the extended roadway grid network, as shown on the project site plan. 13. Specific Land Use Criteria: Pursuant to LDR section 971.44(2), the following criteria for private heavy utilities apply to this project: Per Chapter 901, the definition of utilities, public and private — heavy includes "all major electrical generation plants (generating fifty (50) megawatts or more), major sewage treatment and disposal facilities, and major water purification plants; " Note: The proposed use (Blue Cypress Solar Energy Center) will generate 74.5 megawatts of power and meets the definition of a private heavy utility. 2. Any power generation facility shall be consistent with the provisions of the Florida Electrical Power Plan Citing Act, Chapter 23, Section 23.09191 F. S.; Note: The proposed solar energy center will have a maximum gross capacity of 74.5 megawatts which is less than the 75 megawatt threshold. The proposed facility is therefore exempt from the Florida Electrical Power Plant Siting Act. 3. All below -ground high voltage cables within a utility right-of-way shall be made known to the public through the use of signs posted therein; Note: There are no proposed below -ground high voltage cables within a utility right-of-way. Therefore, the above referenced signage criteria do not apply to the subject project. It should be noted that "high voltage" warning signs will be provide in English and Spanish along the perimeter security fence of the on-site substation compound. 4. The disposal of all waste, gaseous, liquid or solid, shall comply with all federal, state and local laws; Note: It is anticipated that no hazardous or toxic waste will be generated by the proposed project. The applicant has acknowledged that if there is any disposal of waste, gaseous, liquid, or solid, such disposal will comply with all federal, state, and local laws.
