14. Utilities: County potable water and wastewater services are available to the site, and connection is mandatory. The project will connect to county water and wastewater services. County Utilities has approved the connection to water and wastewater. 15. Dedications and Improvements: The developer is required to construct an S' wide bike path along the project's CR 510 frontage. The bike path will need to be built or bonded prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion for phase I. As earlier referenced, the developer will also be required to construct a left -turn lane on CR 510 at the project entrance. 16. Proposed PD Waivers: The proposed waivers available through the PD process were discussed in the PD zoning analysis. Please reference that section for waivers proposed by the development. 17. Pedestrian Circulation: The subdivision will have a 4' sidewalk along the main north/south entry road. The 4' sidewalk will brandh-off from the main road at Tract H and provide a north/south pedestrian corridor through the project. Pedestrian travel in the east and west direction can be accommodated by the proposed roadways, since these are lower traffic volume roadways. Three_ external pedestrian connections will also be provided, one to Coco Plum Lane and two to Jungle Trail. 18. Jungle Trail: The project borders Jungle Trail along its western perimeter for approximately 2,6001. The conceptual and preliminary PD plans provide for a 30' Jungle Trail buffer as required in the Jungle Trail Management Plan. The developer proposes to remove the existing citrus trees and exotics within the.Jungle Trail buffer zone and replant the buffer zone in accordance with the criteria of the Jungle Trail Management Plan (see attachment #5). Generally, the Jungle Trail Management Plan requires that a buffer be planted that will form a 7' high visual screen with 60% opacity within 2 years after planting. At maturity, 50% of the buffer must be covered by tree canopy. Planning staff agrees with the applicant's proposal to remove citrus trees and replant the buffer area, since the replanting of the buffer area will ultimately produce a more "jungle like" atmosphere along Jungle Trail. The applicant will need to submit a detailed Jungle Trail landscape plan to staff, and obtain staff approval of that plan, prior to issuance of a land development permit for Phase I. The developer may also construct a fence within the Jungle Trail buffer. The fence would be permitted, provided that it meets certain criteria. Generally, the following criteria would need to be met for fence construction: • the fence must be less than 50% opaque when viewed at a right angle to the fence; and • the fence must be located in the outer (eastern) 10' of the buffer, i.e. more than 20' from the travel way; and • no native vegetation in the buffer can be removed to construct the fence. The developer is also proposing a temporary vehicular access point to Jungle Trail near CR 510 for access to a construction 43 BOOK 98 Pi r, 619 JULY 239 1996
