MAR - 11994 Future Land Use Pattern BOOK 91 PAF The subject property and properties to the north, south, and west are designated M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1, on the county future land use map. The M-1 designation permits residential uses with densities up to eight units/acre. East of the subject property is the 166 acre S.R. 60 and 58th Avenue Commercial/ Industrial Node. This node encompasses the four corners of the intersection and extends along the south side of S.R. 60 east to the Vero Beach city limits at 43rd Avenue. A few properties along the north side of S.R. 60, near 43rd Avenue, are also included in the node. Environment The subject property does not contain "environmentally important" uplands (coastal hammock or xeric scrub), as designated by the Conservation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Moreover, the property does not fall within a 100 year flood zone. There are, however, several examples of endangered or potentially endangered vegetation on the subject property, including the recognized "champion tree" Simpson Stopper cluster, and a cabbage palm hammock which supports an endangered "hand adder's tongue fern" colony. Soils on the subject property are generally of the Winder -Riviera - Manatee type which are wet, poorly drained soils. The constraints of building on these soils include the use of fill to change the soil conditions and raise the elevation above the water table and the use of engineering and building techniques to compensate for the wet soils. Specific identification and protection of isolated and individual resources must be addressed in the DRI and site plan approval process. An approximately 26.5 acre wetland system exists along much of the subject property's north border. While included in the DRI project area, this wetland slough system is not part of the Plan amendment and rezoning request and will remain residentially designated. Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Water lines extend to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Wastewater lines extend to the site from the West County Wastewater Treatment Plant. Transportation System S.R. 60 forms the southern boundary of the subject property. This roadway is classified as a principal arterial on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. East of 58th Avenue, S.R. 60 is a six lane road with approximately 100 feet of public road right-of-way. West of 58th Avenue, S.R. 60 is a four lane road with approximately 136 feet of public road right-of-way. The portion of S.R. 60 extending from 58th Avenue to 82nd Avenue is programmed for expansion to six lanes and 200 feet of public road right-of-way by 2010. The segment of 66th Avenue that forms the western boundary of the property is classified as a minor arterial on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. This roadway becomes Schumann Drive and connects with U.S. #1 in Sebastian. South of S.R. 60, 66th Avenue is unpaved. The segment of 66th Avenue adjacent to the subject 34
