9. Stormwater Management: The Stormwater Management Plan has been approved by the Public Works Department, and a Type "A" Stormwater permit will be issued. Through normal permitting procedures, the Public Works Department will ensure that the site's legal positive outfall will provide for a drainage flow across the church site to the St. Sebastian River. 10. Landscape Plan: The landscape plan is in.compliance with Chapter 926 of the county's Land Development Regulations and proposes a Type "C" buffer along the site's northern and southern property boundaries. Buffer requirements are in compliance with the specific land use criteria (see paragraph 13). A type "C" landscaping buffer is required between a place of worship and adjacent residential uses. For this site, the existing driveway along the site's north boundary is located in an area that would normally be used for the buffer. Since the driveway is not under the sole control of the applicant and is located at the site perimeter in certain areas, a portion of the required buffer is proposed along the immediate south side of the driveway in such areas. The remaining portion of the buffer will be located along the northern property line where a portion of the existing driveway will be removed, as referenced in item #7 of this report. Thus, along the north property line a continuous buffer will be provided between any buildings and parking arear and adjacent residential property. All other buffer areas are located immediately adjacent to property lines. At its April 25, 1996 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the need for a barrier between proposed church parking spaces and the northern driveway which is to serve only the adjacent property to the north, which is owned by Mr. Robert Denton. The Planning and Zoning Commission concluded that a landscape strip along the east perimeter of the parking area would preclude church traffic from inadvertently using the adjacent northern driveway. Condition 2 at the end of this report represents the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation on this issue. At the April 25th meeting, the applicant indicated no objection -to such a condition. 11. Temporary Use of Modular Units: At its April 25th meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission also discussed the use -of modular Sunday School classroom buildings located on the site's north side. The Planning and Zoning Commission concluded that the modular buildings were approved by .the county as special exception uses, based upon the understanding that the units were to be temporary. The Commission also concluded that timeframes for removal of the modular units should be formally addressed as part of this application. After discussing timeframes with the church and noting that the units have already existed on site for several years, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the Board of County Commissioners condition the special exception approval by requiring the modular units to be removed in 3 years. The 3 year removal deadline is reflected in recommended condition 2 at the end of this report. It should be noted that, during discussion of the removal timeframe at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the project engineer requested a removal deadline of 4 years. 12. Utilities: County water and wastewater are available to the site, and mandatory connections are required by the county Utilities Department. Prior to site plan release, the applicant, through normal procedures, must obtain utilities connection permits for the project. Neither the county Utilities Department nor Environmental Health Unit (HRS) object to site plan approval. JUNE 4, 1996 17 BOOK 98 PnE 263
