15. Energy: These conditions require an energy-efficient project design. 16. Transportation: All traffic conditions have been established Eased on analyses performed by the applicant and reviewed by FDOT, TCRPC, and county traffic engineering. The analyses are based upon project build -out by December 31, 1999. The D.O. conditions specify the roadway, intersection, and signalization improvements needed to accommodate the project impacts, and the timeframes for beginning and completing the improvements. Although the project will probably not be built all at_ once, conditions involving specific roadway improvements to S.R. 60, 58th Avenue, 26th Street, and various intersections are tied to the project's initial building permit and certificate of occupancy (C.O.). Please refer to D.O. conditions 41, 42, and 44 (see attachment #7). Prior to the issuance of the first project C.O., the following improvements must be in place and operational: a. S.R. 60 six-laning from 58th Avenue to 66th Avenue b. Paving 26th Street from 58th Avenue to 66th Avenue c. S.R. 60/Access "F" driveway intersection improvements d. 26th Street/Access "A" driveway intersection improvements Prior to issuance of the first project C.O., the following improvements must be under construction (or complete): a. 58th Avenue four laning from 26th Street to S.R. 60 b. 58th Avenue four laning from S.R. 60 to 16th Street Other intersections and roadway improvements, as well as monitoring requirements, are included in the D.O., and are summarized in attachment #6 of this report. As with other D.O.'s, a "safety net" condition is included (#51) which stops the issuance of all project building permits after December 31, 1999, unless the developer provides an updated traffic analysis and the analysis is approved by the county, FDOT, and TCRPC in consultation with the City of Vero Beach. Specific construction and timing provisions for any identified additional traffic improvements would need to be agreed upon prior to the issuance of any further building permits. Traffic condition #40 provides a means of minimizing the future expansion of 66th Avenue westward into the Vista Plantation golf course. It should be noted that the project does not require expansion of 66th Avenue other than for a project driveway turn lane. D.O. condition #40 will allow for future canal maintenance (by Indian River Farms Water Control District) to be performed from the east (mall) side of Lateral "A", rather than along the west side next to 66th Avenue. This shift in maintenance access may, in the future, allow use of a portion of the Lateral "A" canal right-of-way for 66th Avenue road expansion purposes. Use of some of the canal right-of-way could minimize the amount of 66th Avenue future right-of-way expansion; however, it should be noted that Public Works staff indicate that, at some future date, road right-of-way reserved over portions of the Vista Plantation golf course will be needed when 66th Avenue is expanded. 17. Bufferina and Open Space: Because of the size of the project and the corresponding massive parking areas that would be unique to such a project, county staff has expressed concerns to the developer about the importance. of landscaping, as well 49 July 199 1994 EooK 92 PAE,904
