Environment <br />The northern parcel of the subject property contains native upland <br />hardwood/cabbage palm hammock. The southern parcel of the property <br />has been previously cleared for agricultural production. A review <br />of U.S. Fish -and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory Maps <br />(1984) indicates that no jurisdictional wetlands exist on site. A <br />Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) drainage outfall ditch <br />runs between the parcels. <br />Flood Insurance Rating Maps (FIRM) depict the subject property as <br />being within three different flood zone categories: Zone X - <br />outside of the 500 -year floodplain; Zone X - within the 500 -year <br />floodplain but not in a designated flood hazard area; and Zone AE, <br />within the 100 -year floodplain Special Flood Hazard Area (base <br />flood elevation eight feet NGVD). The 100 -year flood plain (Zone <br />AE) is located 'on the east -central portion of the site, <br />constituting approximately one third of the overall subject <br />property. <br />Utilities and Services <br />The site is within the Urban Service Area (USA) of the county. <br />Wastewater lines extend to the site from the North County <br />Wastewater Plant. Water lines do not extend to the site. The <br />subject property is located in'the North County Water Service Area. <br />Transportation System <br />The property abuts U.S. Highway #1 to the west and 73rd Street to <br />the north. U.S. Highway #1 is classified as an urban principal <br />arterial road on the future roadway -thoroughfare plan map. This <br />segment of U.S. Highway #1 is a four -lane paved road with <br />approximately 120 feet of existing public road right-of-way. It is <br />programmed for expansion to 6 lanes and 240 feet by 2010, Seventy- <br />-third Street is a .two-lane paved road with approximately' 50 feet of <br />existing public road right-of-way. It is programmed for expansion <br />to 60 feet of public road right-of-way by 2010. <br />ANALYSIS <br />In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the <br />application will be presented. The analysis will include a <br />description of: <br />• concurrency of public facilities; <br />• compatibility with the surrounding area; <br />• consistency with the comprehensive plan; and . <br />• potential impact on environmental quality. <br />This section will also consider alternatives for development of the <br />site. <br />25 <br />Nov 17 192 BOOK <br />
