The proposed driveway connections and traffic circulation plan have been reviewed and approved by Traffic Engineering and Fire Prevention. Additionally, Traffic Engineering reviewed and approved the traffic impact study (TIS) submitted by the applicant. Based on the approved TIS, no off-site traffic improvements are required. The northbound left and southbound right turn lanes on Highway AIA are specifically required by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as a safety improvement for the overall area. 10. Stormwater Management: The project's conceptual stormwater management design proposes a unique and enhanced stormwater treatment system. All stormwater runoff generated by the project will first be stored and treated in the project's primary freshwater stormwater pond located in the center of the project site (see attachment 3). The pre-treated stormwater will then outfall into a manmade saltwater estuary along the western portion of the project site, where it will mix with saltwater that is tidally connected to the Indian River Lagoon. During peak rainfall, the brackish estuary water will ultimately outfall back into the Indian River Lagoon; however, that water will be cleaner and less impactful than a standard stormwater treatment system. Public Works has reviewed and approved the project's preliminary stormwater management design. The final stormwater management design will be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department via the County land development permit (LDP) review process. 11. Required Dedications and Improvements: a. Internal Sidewalk/Pedestrian System: An internal pedestrian system is required and proposed throughout the overall project. The final design of the internal pedestrian system will be reviewed via the LDP for each project phase, and will need to be constructed along the frontage of common areas and individual lots in accordance with the requirements of Section 913.09(5)(b)2 of the subdivision ordinance. b. Streetlighting: Streetlights are required and proposed, and will be maintained by the property owners' association. The developer is proposing to use the same low-level, low -intensity type of streetlights that are currently provided throughout the Windsor PD project. The final design of the streetlights and locations will be reviewed via the project's LDP. c. 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 developer proposes to provide 19.78 acres, which is 37.3% of the site. The proposed recreation areas consist of multiple common areas/green spaces, walking tails with observation areas, the manmade estuary, and the fitness center. 12. Landscape and Buffering Plan: The applicant has provided a conceptual landscape plan that meets the criteria of Chapter 926, and is sufficient for conceptual PD plan approval (see attachment 4). A detailed description of each required perimeter buffer is provided above in the PD Rezoning Analysis section of this report. Detailed landscape plans will be submitted with the LDP plans for each phase, and must be approved by staff prior to the issuance of an LDP for each phase. 13. Environmental and Archeological Issues: a. Wetlands: There are approximately .65 acres of isolated, non jurisdictional wetlands located in C:\Granicus\1 egistar5\L5\Temp\3fOc5f79-d413-41d1-8479-f1ac8476495f.docx 139 9
