The county traffic engineer has approved the principal and emergency site access points, the on-site traffic circulation plan, and the findings of the traffic impact analysis. Therefore, the county traffic engineer has no objection to approval of the conceptual PD special exception use application, provided the previously described turn lane design and installation conditions are required as part of conceptual plan approval. 10. Stormwater Management. The public works department has reviewed and approved the stormwater management plan. The applicant will obtain a Type "A" stormwater management permit as part of the LDP or LDP waiver. 11. Utilities: The proposed development will be serviced by County Department of Utility Services for both water and wastewater services. Connection to these services has been approved by both the County Department of Utility Services and Environmental Health Department. 12. Concurrency: A conditional concurrency certificate has been issued for the project. Thus, all concurrency requirements related to conceptual site plan and special exception use approval have been satisfied. 13. Environmental Issues: -Uplands: The project is greater than 5 acres and, therefore, is subject to the native upland set-aside provisions of LDR section 929.05. Environmental planning staff has determined that native upland habitats currently exist on the site. Therefore, the project is required to provide for the preservation of native upland habitat pursuant to provisions of the land development regulations which: a. Requires preservation of a minimum of 15% of the total cumulative acreage of native plan communities which occur on site. b. Allows for the reduction of the minimum area of preservation to 109/6 of the area to be preserved if established in a contiguous area approved by the environmental planning staff. C. Allows for payment of a fee equivalent to the average assessed value of an acre of the particular habitat type under consideration multiplied by the number of acres of habitat equivalent to the 15% area that would otherwise have been set aside. The developer/applicant must satisfy the project's native upland preservation requirements by one or a combination of the above provisions of section 929.05. Prior to issuance of an LDP or LDP waiver, the applicant must identify the method by which native upland preservation requirements are to be satisfied. The conceptual plan depicts a conservation/buffer area along the project's east side, which is acceptable to environmental planning staff. • Wetlands: A wetland area has been identified adjacent to an existing small lake in the approximate center of the site. The exact extent of wetlands has yet to be determined by the St. Johns River Water Management District and/or A.C.O.E. Development of the site will impact the identified wetlands, but the impacts can be mitigated. To mitigate the impacts, the applicant proposes to establish wetlands in the form of littoral zones around the proposed stormwater management lake. The county environmental planning staff has no objection to such mitigation measures or to the proposed conceptual PD Plan. The design of the littoral zone plantings and mitigation will need to be finalized during review and approval of the county's wetland resource permit for the project. Prior to the issuance of a land development permit (LDP) or LDP waiver, the applicant must obtain a county wetland resource permit, as well as applicable environmental permits from jurisdictional agencies. 14. Dedications and Improvements: The existing right-of-way width for 49th Street (Lindsey Road) and 47th Street both satisfy current and future right-of-way standards. Therefore, no additional road right-of-way is required or needed from the site. For planned development (PD) projects in the RM -10 zoning district, required improvements may include bikeways, sidewalks, and streetlighting. The following are required for this project: a. Since the project's density exceeds 3 units per acre, the project is required to provide internal sidewalks within the project. Sidewalks providing such access are depicted on the conceptual plan.
