M 11. Utilities: Phase I will be unmanned on a day to day basis and will not require any utility services. Phase II will be a manned facility and will be connected to county water and sewer services. This arrangement for future connection has been approved by the Indian River County Department of Utility Services. 12. Environmental Concerns: The project site consists of 8.13 acres of native upland and 1.40 acres of wetlands, totalling 9.53 acres for the entire project area. Since the entire project area is over 5 acres in size, the upland native vegetation set aside requirement of LDR section 929.05 applies. The applicant will be preserving at build -out 1.35 acres or 16% of the 8.13 acres of native vegetation. This 16% set aside area exceeds the county's 150 set aside area requirement. Because the county cannot grant a conservation easement to itself, no conservation easement can be required. However, the required set aside area will be depicted on the site planiand the approved site plan will be the controlling document that will ensure preservation of the designated set aside area. The Phase I development will not impact any existing wetlands on site; however, during Phase II construction approximately 1.21 acres of wetlands will be filled. The applicant can proceed with Phase I construction without obtaining any Jurisdictional agency or county wetland resource permit. However, prior to site plan release for development of Phase II, the applicant will need to obtain all required Jurisdictional agency and wetlands resource permits for the filling of the wetlands. The applicant has already applied for these permits and is proposing to satisfy jurisdictional agency and county mitigation requirements by performing off- site mitigation work at the .Environmental Learning Center site. 13. Dedications & Improvements: Both 77th Street and 58th Avenue are listed on the County's Thoroughfare Plan. Additional right-of-way will be required from this site for 77th Street only, since additional right-of-way for 58th Avenue will come from Hobart Park on the east side of 58th Avenue. The Thoroughfare Plan lists 77th Street as a collector- roadway which requires 80' of right-of-way. Since it is the County Attorney's opinion that the county cannot dedicate property to itself, the Utilities Department has agreed with the Public Works Department to set aside 50' north of the existing 77th Street roadway for additional 77th Street right-of-way. It is the County Engineer's opinion that this additional area will be sufficient to make the thoroughfare plan improvements to 77th Street. Thus, the proposed site plan accommodates right - Of -wawwidths called -for in the Thoroughfare Plan and the LDRs Sidewalks are required improvements along the site's 77th Street and 58th Avenue frontages. Required sidewalk improvements may either be constructed in conjunction with a project or be bonded-out/guaranteed for future construction. The Department of Utility Services has committed in writing to make provisions for a sidewalk along the project's 58th Avenue frontage. The public works department has guaranteed the construction of the required 77th Street sidewalk -improvements and will provide said improvements during future 77th Street roadway construction. Thus, all required sidewalk improvements will either be constructed or guaranteed in accordance with the county LDRs. 49 aooK 88 F,� c 593 SAN J2 1993 J
