-The PDA allows the driving range (Phase I) to be constructed prior to the golf course, but requires the golf course to be constructed within 18 months of DRI approval. If not constructed within the 18 month timeframe, the driving range must be rezoned to a stand alone commercial driving range, or the driving range must be converted to open space (green area) use. However, the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff are recommending that the 18 month timeframe be tied to the date of PDA approval rather than some future date of DRI approval. Thus, an 18 month timeframe condition tied to the PDA approval date is recommended at the end of this report. 6. Impervious Area: Phase I: 13.37 acres Phase II: 1.42 acres Total: 14.79 acres 7. Open Space: Phase I: Required: 32.501k Provided: 44.801 Phase II: Required: 40.Oe Provided: 98.6% 8. Traffic Circulation: On Site: The site will be accessed through the existing Horizon Outlet Center by an extension of the Center's main driving aisle. The driving aisle extension will involve modifications to an existing on-site traffic circle, and will provide access to the Phase I parking lot area, club, and driving range. Access and the circulation design haye been approved by the traffic engineering division. Access to Property South of Golf Course: Recently, owners of residential property located south of the proposed golf course (zoned residential) approached the county about access to SR 60 through the Horizon Outlet Center site (zoned commercial). While staff believes it may be beneficial for the residential property south of the mall/golf course to have access to SR 60, the county has had a general policy against mixing commercial and residential traffic. In the subject areas, the properties south of the proposed golf course should be accessed primarily from 98th Avenue via 8th Street and 12th Street rights-of-way. The County Surveyor and the engineering firm for the Indian River Farms Water Control District have confirmed that there is canal and road right-of-way for 8th Street and 12th Street between I-95 and 98th Avenue. Once improved, such rights-of-way can be used for access. In staff's opinion, providing access through the proposed golf course for properties to the south would adversely affect environmentally sensitive lands on the golf course site and would result in an inconvenient, lengthy and circuitous route through the golf course and the Horizon Center to SR 60. Therefore, staff does not support providing access to SR 60 through the proposed golf course for properties south of the golf course. A representative of the developer has verbally committed to providing access to SR 60 for properties to the south of the new SR 60 access driveway to be constructed with the DRI. That portion of the overall DRI site is north and west of the proposed golf course. The developer's commitment would facilitate SR 60 access as far south as the 12th Street and 8th Street properties referenced above,only if access were to be extended across other intervening parcels (see attachment #6). Thus, access to SR 60 would be contingent upon how the property to the north and west of these properties develops. The property south of the proposed golf course will be able to access 98th Avenue from 12th Street and 8th Street, which staff believes should be the primary access for these properties. It is staff's opinion that potential access to SR 60 for parcels to the south will best be addressed in the DRI process. The Planning and Zoning Commission also concluded that potential SR 60 secondary access for the properties south DECEMBER 17, 1996 85 ;f��;
