M 13. Traffic Circulation: A traffic impact analysis has been submitted by the applicant and is acceptable to county traffic engineering staff. The analysis indicates that an eastbound to southbound deceleration lane and a westbound to southbound left turn lane must be provided at the intersection of 1st Street S.W. and the project entrance road. The final design of these improvements must be shown on the project's land development permit. Furthermore, these,improvements must be completed prior to issuance of a certificate of, completion for any project phase. The project proposes a single access entrance road to 1st Street S.W., approximately halfway between the east and west limits of the project. The internal traffic pattern resembles a figure 118" with 5 cul-de-sac roadway connections (see attachment #3). These roads are to have curb and gutter drainage and will be placed in 50' rights-of-way. Also, these roads will be built to county standards and dedicated to the county via the final plat. The county traffic engineer has reviewed and approved the proposed PD preliminary plan%plat layout. 14. Pedestrian Circulation: Although sidewalks are not required throughout the proposed subdivision, the project, as a PD, must include pedestrian circulation improvements. The plan proposes a sidewalk along both sides of the project's north/south road (55th Avenue S.W.), connecting to 1st Street S.W. A sidewalk is also proposed along the "inside" of the project's loop roads (East and West Square S.W.). Staff has determined that these proposed improvements meet PD pedestrian plan requirements. 15. Utilities: County potable water and wastewater services are - available to the site, and mandatory connections are required by the county utilities department. The county utilities department and the environmental health (HRS) department have no objections to PD plan approval. 16. Off -Site Dedications and Improvements: The public works department has stated that no additional right-of-way is required from the site's frontages along 58th Avenue and 1st Street S.W., since drainage canals exist between the actual site boundaries and these streets. Also due to the location of the canals, no sidewalk or bikeway improvements are required or proposed along the site's 58th Avenue and 1st Street S.W. frontages. 17. Landscaping/Buffering/Lot Dimension: Compatibility standards for a PD such as this one require a 25' wide perimeter setback as well as perimeter buffer areas. The submitted PD preliminary plan/plat depicts the required 25' wide setback and appropriate buffers. The landscaping plan submitted with the PD preliminary plat meets or exceeds the landscaping requirements of LDR Chapter 926, and the PD buffer standards of LDR section 915.16. Buffers and lot dimension features are provided as follows (see attachment #5): NORTH: *Lot Dimension: 70' or more in width with a depth of 125' *Buffer: 25' perimeter setback, continuous 15' wide type "D" landscape buffer with 6' opaque feature (berm plus shrubs). SOUTH: *Lot Dimensions: 70' or more in width with a depth of 125' *Buffer: 25' building setback, continuous 15' wide type landscape buffer. BOOK 96 FacF 126 SEPTEMBER 26, 1995 21
