Boa. 92 pnE Note: The tire stop waiver was granted for both the May 12th plan and the revised plan. 8. Stormwater Management: The stormwater management plan has been submitted to the Public Works Department, which has granted tentative approval of the stormwater plan. The applicant will be required to obtain a Type "B" stormwater management permit prior to site plan release. Public Works will- require post development discharge to be no more than pre -development discharge and will require that the site's discharge not create adverse impacts to the existing drainage system. 9. Compatibility with the Surrounding Area: Given the area's predominately residential use, staff gave a great deal of attention to compatibility of the proposed project with surrounding uses. While staff has the ability to apply and enforce only the land development regulations, staff had requested that the developer exceed the county's land development regulation requirements in relation to several elements of the plan. Those elements included: landscaping, buffering, signage, and loading/unloading areas. Staff also recommended that the developer exceed the county's buffering requirements, which the developer has done in this site plan proposal, mostly by adding additional shrubs to the buffers. The applicant has also agreed to use a low level monument style sign rather than a pylon sign. The monument style sign will be more compatible with the residential style of subdivision signs in the area, rather than typical commercial pylon signs. In response to staff comments, the applicant has proposed to provide walls and a roof to the loading/unloading platform located at the rear (west side) of the proposed grocery store. In reviewing the site plan, staff has attempted to keep the project's main entrances on Mooring Line and Windward Way and off Bowline Drive to limit the mixing of commercial and residential traffic. Previous shopping center proposals for this property proposed driveway connections on Bowline Drive (closer to residential areas). Thus, the proposed traffic circulation plan should reduce the intrusion of commercial traffic into residential areas, as compared to previous site plan proposals. Pursuant to LDR section 952.13(2), staff has recommended that the developer re-examine the need for a wall to buffer the loading area behind the proposed Publix. It is staff's position that a wall would serve as a better noise block than just the berm and vegetative buffer. Staff notes that, like Previously approved plans for the site, the proposed third (new) driveway will bring commercial traffic closer to the residential area than the May 12th plan. The applicant has agreed to construct a 6' - 8' wall, with specific provisions made to ensure drivers leaving loading areas could see over the wall prior to exiting the loading area. 10. Landscaping and Buffering: The landscape plan is in conformance with Chapter 926. This includes required perimeter buffering. The site is bordered on several sides by residenirial zoning (see attachment #5). To the west and southwest, the adjacent Property is zoned RS -3. Where a CL district commercial 49 July 12, 1994
