12. Required Dedications and Improvements: a. Off-site Traffic Improvements: As outlined in section 10 of this report, the applicant will be required to construct several different off-site traffic improvements with each respective project phase. The final design of the required off-site traffic improvements will be reviewed via the LDP for each respective project phase, and must be completed prior to issuance of a C. of C. for each respective project phase. b. External sidewalks: An 8' wide sidewalk is required along the north side of 17'' Street SW and the west side of 43' Avenue SW for the project's entire frontages, respectively. The final design of these sidewalks will be reviewed via the LDP for each respective project phase, and must be completed prior to issuance of a C. of C. for each respective project phase. c. Internal sidewalks: A five-foot wide internal sidewalk system is required and proposed along one side of the project's internal streets. The final design of the internal sidewalks will be reviewed via the LDP for each respective project phase, and will need to be constructed along the frontage of common areas and individual lots in accordance with the requirements of subdivision ordinance section 913.09(5)(b)2. d. Streetlights: Streetlights are required and will be maintained by the property owners' association. The proposed streetlight locations are depicted on the provided PD plan. The final design of the streetlights will be reviewed via the LDP for each respective project phase, and must be completed prior to issuance of a C. of C. for each respective project phase. e. Common Green Space and/or Recreation Area: At least 7.5% of the total site area shall be set- aside as dedicated common green space and/or recreation area. For this project, the applicant proposes to provide 6.86 acres, which is 8.8% of the site. The 6.86 acres will be provided in the form of a clubhouse/amenities tract, several passive recreation/open space tracts, and the native uplands set-aside tract. Staff has verified that the common green space/recreation areas are located and designed as an amenity conveniently accessible via the project's internal sidewalk system. Therefore, the project satisfies the County's green space/recreation area requirements. 13. Environmental Issues: a. Wetlands: County Environmental Planning staff has determined that no jurisdictional wetlands exist on the subject site. Therefore, no wetlands criteria apply to the proposed development. b. Uplands: Since the subject site exceeds 5 acres, the County's native upland set aside criteria apply to the project. Approximately 7.36 acres of intact native upland plant communities exist on the project site, and the project's set aside requirement is 1.10 acres (15% of 7.36 acres). The applicant is proposing to set-aside 1.55 acres of on-site uplands in a single preservation tract located in the center of the overall project site (see attachment 3). The applicant must dedicate a conservation easement in favor of the County over the 1.55 acres of on-site native uplands prior to or via the project's final plat. c. Tree Preservation: Most of the project site is a former citrus grove and/or tree farm (see attachment 2). Therefore, besides the uplands set aside area and the vegetated area around the future community clubhouse, the project site does not contain any protected or specimen trees.
