the northwest portion of the project site that will be filled. Impacts to those wetlands will be mitigated on-site within the manmade estuary area. Prior to issuance of land clearing and tree removal permits, the applicant must obtain a County wetlands resource permit. b. Uplands: Since the site is over 5 acres, the County's native upland set-aside requirement potentially applies. Because the site was previously cleared for agricultural use, there are no existing native uplands. Therefore, no native upland set-aside requirements apply to the proposed development. c. Tree Mitigation: The majority of the project site is former citrus groves. However, there are small portions of the site that are partially wooded with a mixture of palm, hardwood, and non - hardwood tree species. Mitigation is required for removal of any native hardwood trees over 12" DBH and cabbage palms with 10' or more of clear trunk. All invasive exotics will be removed during development. Additional tree mitigation details will be provided with the preliminary PD plan for each phase. The developer must obtain Environmental Planning staff approval of the final tree protection and mitigation plan, prior to the issuance of an LDP for each respective project phase. d. Archeological Resources: The project site is located in an area determined to have a higher likelihood of archeological resources than most parts of the County. Based on that likelihood, Phase I and Phase II archeological surveys have been conducted and provided for County staff's review. Additionally, the applicant has coordinated with the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR). The applicant will need to provide an official determination from the DHR, prior to the issuance of an LDP for Phase 1. e. Jungle Trail Management Plan: The project site has ±1,400' of frontage along Jungle Trail, and is subject to the Jungle Trail Management Plan (JTMP). The project design does not propose any direct vehicular connections to Jungle Trail, but does propose a limited, nonmotorized connection for a dock/kayak launch. The project design includes 10' wide limited access easement, and a 30' wide Jungle Trail buffer easement along the project's entire Jungle Trail frontage. All proposed improvements within the Jungle Trail ROW will require review and compliance with the JTMP, prior to issuance of an LDP for Phase 1. The 10' wide limited access easement and a 30' wide Jungle Trail buffer easement shall be established via the final plat for Phase 1. f. Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge: The project site is located immediately south of the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge (PINWR). Staff from the PINWR has actively participated in the project's development process. Through coordination with PINWR staff, the developer is proposing to remove all invasive trees and plant materials along the southern 25' of the PINWR (i.e. 25' north of the northern limits of the project site). The developer is also proposing to restore a 25' wide maritime hammock planting area along the project site's northern property boundary. Lastly, the developer is proposing to clear and regrade several existing swales along the common property boundary between the project site and the PINWR to provide better drainage for both sites. The must obtain all necessary permits and/or approvals from PINWR staff prior to issuance of an LDP for Phase 1, and shall complete all required improvements prior to issuance of a certificate of completion (C. of C.) for Phase 1. 14. North Barrier Island Corridor Regulations: The project site is subject to the North Barrier C:\Granicus\Legistar5\L5\Temp\31Uc5f 79-d413-41 d1-8479-flac8476495f.docx 14010
