To address the emergency access concerns, the developer will <br />incorporate key boxes in the architectural design. The boxes <br />will be opened via a combination that will be available <br />through the 911 data base system. This will speed up <br />emergency response and help to reduce property damage. <br />17. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: <br />North: Vacant/RS-1 <br />South: Vista Gardens/RM-10 <br />East: Mosquito Impoundment, Indian River/RS-1, N/A <br />West: Indian River Boulevard, Citrus Woods, Kyle's <br />Run/RM-10 <br />18. Landscaping and Buffering: The landscape plan meets the <br />requirements of Chapter 926, including a 25' setback from all <br />project property lines. While no buffers are required based <br />on PD ordinance buffer section 915.16, the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission recommended to the applicant that a Type "B" buffer <br />with 3' berm be provided along the site's Indian River <br />Boulevard boundary and a Type "B" buffer with 3' berm be <br />provided along the site's Vista Gardens Boundary to increase <br />compatibility with the adjacent uses. The applicant agreed to <br />provide these buffers. The buffers should be completed prior <br />to issuance of a C.O. for the project's first unit. <br />19. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: As referenced <br />at the beginning of this report, the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission voted 6-1 to recommend approval of the project with <br />six additional conditions. These conditions are as follows: <br />a. The Planning and Zoning Commission modified staff's <br />originally recommended condition 1(c) to increase the <br />buffering required. Staff originally recommended that a <br />Type "C" buffer with a 6' opaque feature be constructed <br />along the south property line and a Type "C" buffer with <br />a 3' opaque feature be constructed along the west ( Indian <br />River Boulevard) frontage. The Planning and Zoning <br />Commission recommended that the buffers be increased to <br />a Type "B" buffer with a 3' berm along both property <br />lines. The applicant has agreed to provide these <br />increased buffers, and these buffers are included in the <br />recommendation at the end of this report. <br />b. The Planning and Zoning Commission added to staff's <br />originally recommended condition 1(d) regarding traffic <br />improvements. The Planning and Zoning Commission <br />recommended that a north bound right turn lane be <br />provided at the project's Indian River Boulevard <br />entrance. The applicant has agreed to provide this <br />improvement, and this improvement is included in the <br />recommendation at the end of this report. <br />C. The Planning and Zoning Commission expanded upon the <br />covenant requirements in condition l(g)(2) of staff's <br />report. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended <br />that the developer commit to a 50 year term to provide <br />affordable elderly housing with both phases. The <br />developer has agreed to file a 50 year restrictive <br />covenant for phase I, but not phase II. It is staff's <br />opinion that the applicant would need to file a covenant <br />prior to site plan release for phase II, in order to <br />comply with the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />recommendation. The covenant requirement for phase II <br />could be changed if a different type project was approved <br />27 <br />JANUARY 28, 1997 <br />BOOK P1�G• <br />
