Manmade Estuary and Enhanced Stormwater Treatment: As described in above -reference <br />Section 10 of this report, the developer is proposing a manmade saltwater estuary that will be <br />tidally connected to the Indian River Lagoon. The estuary will provide new habitat and <br />foraging area for native plants and animals in the area. The project's stormwater design will <br />also provide enhanced stormwater treatment for the project's stormwater runoff. <br />• Partnership with Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge: Through discussions with PINWR <br />staff, the developer has agreed to provide the improvements outlined in Section 13f., which <br />include the removal of invasive trees and plants, establishment of a 25' wide maritime <br />hammock planting area, and drainage improvements. <br />Highway AIA Turn Lanes: The project's approved TIS did not require or warrant the project's <br />northbound left and southbound right turn lanes, and if the project were accessed by a County <br />road, they would technically not be required by the County LDRs. It is acknowledged that <br />FDOT is requiring the turn lanes as a safety improvement for the overall area. However, <br />because the turn lanes will serve both the project's northern roadway and 110th Place, and will <br />improve traffic safety along that segment of Highway AIA, the turn lanes are considered a <br />public benefit. <br />All conditions recommended by staff have been accepted by the applicant. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant approval of the PD rezoning request and <br />the conceptual PD plan, with the following conditions: <br />Prior to issuance of land clearing and tree removal permits, the developer must obtain a County <br />wetlands resource permit. <br />2. Prior to issuance of a land development permit for Phase 1, the developer shall: <br />a. Vacate the Ocean Way Subdivision plat via the formal plat vacation process. <br />b. Provide an official determination from the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical <br />Resources. <br />c. Obtain all required permits and/or approvals from Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge staff. <br />d. Obtain staff approval of all proposed improvements within the Jungle Trail ROW and/or the Jungle <br />Trail buffer easement, and demonstrate consistency with the Jungle Trail Management Plan. <br />e. The 8' tall masonry wall along northern boundary of the Wabasso Estates Subdivision shall be <br />removed from all future land development permit plans, and the northern private driveway shall <br />not be utilized as a construction access. <br />3. Prior to issuance of a land development permit for any respective phase, the developer shall: <br />a. Obtain Planning staff approval of the final landscape plan for the respective phase. <br />b. Obtain Planning staff approval of the final streetlighting plan for the respective phase. <br />c. Obtain Environmental Planning staff approval of the final tree protection and mitigation plan for <br />the respective phase. <br />4. The developer shall install the 8' tall masonry wall along southern boundary of the Turtle Cove <br />Subdivision as early in the site development process as possible. <br />C:\Granicus\Legistar5\L5\Temp\3fDc5f79-d413-41d1-8479-flac8476495f.docx 14212 <br />
