Fr- I BOOK 95 P,, r V 8. Environmental Issues: The entire project site consists of a cleared grove. Therefore, there are no environmental concerns related to native upland preservation, wetlands mitigation or endangered species habitat. The applicant is creating a 2.61 acre lake which will require the construction of littoral zones pursuant to LDR section 934.05. The littoral zone construction plans will be reviewed at the time of land development permit review. The littoral zones are depicted on the preliminary PD plans. 9. Thoroughfare Plan: The county's Thoroughfare Plan classifies 58th Avenue as an arterial roadway that requires 136' of right-of-way. Presently, there is 55' of existing, useable road right-of-way. Since the east side of 58th Avenue is bordered by a drainage district canal, all additional road right-of-way must come from the west side of 58th Avenue. Thus, an additional 81' of property needs to be acquired eventually from this site to achieve the 136' width. The public works director is requesting that 76' of property be dedicated at this time to create a total of 127.1. This 127' width will accommodate the planned widening of 58th Avenue. The right-of-way will need to be dedicated prior to or via the final plat. The developer will be compensated for this right-of-way dedication by a density credit used in the proposed project design. Thus, the pre -donation site size (39 acres) is the basis for the 39 units allowed on-site. 10. Required Improvements: Given the project's location, the following improvements are required: • Bikepaths: A bikepath is required along the project's 58th Avenue frontage. The bikepath is required to be constructed by the county as a 4' paved shoulder. Therefore, the applicant has no responsibility for this improvement. • Sidewalks (Off -Site): A 5' wide sidewalk is required to be constructed by the developer along'the project's 58th Avenue frontage. This sidewalk will need to be constructed, or bonded -out, prior to a certificate of completion being issued for the subdivision. • Sidewalks (Internal): Internal sidewalks are not required since the overall density is under 3 units per acre. However, the planned development regulations require that plans address pedestrian circulation. To satisfy this requirement, the developer has provided internal pedestrian circulation paths within the project. • Streetlights: The project is required to provide internal and external (e.g. entrance road intersection) streetlighting. The applicant has acknowledged this requirement. The streetlight locations will be required to be depicted on the land development permit plans, and the streetlights will need to be maintained by a private property owners' association. All of these improvements are depicted on the preliminary PD plan. AUGUST 15, 1995 M s M
