BOOK -343 The environmental planning staff has inspected the site and verified that the site is covered with Brazilian Peppers and that no native upland plant community exists. Therefore, no set-aside requirement applies to this project. The environmental planning staff inspection also revealed that there are no wetlands on the site; therefore, wetland permitting is not an.issue for this project. 16. Surrounding'Zoning and Land Use: North: Village Walk, Waverly Place/RM-10 South: Citrus Woods/RM-10 East: Vacant, Indian River Boulevard/RS-1 West: Day care, single family home, vacant/RM-10, CG 17. Landscaping & Buffering: The landscape plan meets the requirements of Chapter 926, including a 25' setback from all project property lines. To the north of the property is Village Walk and Waverly Place, two multi -family projects which are approved at densities of 8.7 units per acre and 11.87 units per acre, respectively. Because Kyle's Run is proposed at a higher density (12 units per acre), staff is recommending that a 6' wood fence or equivalent be provided along the project's north property line, along with scattered landscaping improvements as shown on the submitted landscape plan (see attachment #5). With such a provision, there would be a 25' setback, scattered landscaping, and a 6' high fence along the site's north property line between Kyle's Run and the Village Walk and Waverly Place developments. On the western portion of the site where Kyle's Run abuts an existing day care use, it is staff's opinion that the 25' setback and scattered landscaping are adequate and that no fence requirement is necessary. However, the Planning and Zoning Commission directed staff to work with the applicant on providing additional landscaping in this area. Staff has been working with the applicant to provide additional landscaping in this area. Based on these .efforts, the applicant has revised the site plan to add landscaping along the western portion of the site. This landscaping will break-up but not totally block the view between the properties. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant conceptual PD plan special exception use approval with the following conditions: 1. Prior to issuance of an LDP (land development permit) or LDP waiver, the applicant shall obtain approval from public works and emergency management for the final design of the emergency access improvement to 6th Avenue. 2. Prior to or via the final plat, 25' of property along the site's eastern border shall be dedicated for Indian River Boulevard right-of-way. Said dedication shall be compensated by a density credit reflected in the PD plan. 3. Prior to the issuance of a C.O. , the applicant sidewalks along the project's 6th Avenue frontages and establish a pedestrian eas sidewalks, as depicted -on the PD plan. 22 FEBRUARY 20, 1996 shall construct and 8th Street cement for the M M M
