The eastern driveway will provide access to the overall site, with primary access to the convenience store/restaurant and fuel pumps. The driving aisle will loop behind the convenience store/restaurant building providing access to a proposed fast food drive through lane, an office building, a mini storage facility, and a car wash and vacuum stations. The southernmost east/west driving aisle located between the fuel pumps and SR 60 will be stubbed out to the east and west property lines to facilitate vehicular interconnection between the subject site and adjacent properties. These provisions meet the county's interconnection requirements (952.12). Through the PD process, the developer has agreed to grant a public access easement to the county to ensure public use of the interconnections and access drives. The developer has agreed to the dedication, which will be accomplished prior to or via the project PD final plat. The internal traffic circulation plan has been approved by the traffic engineering division. 9. Stormwater Management: The project's stormwater management plan has been conceptually approved by the public works department, and the developer will be required to obtain a Type "A" stormwater management permit prior to site plan release. There will be three separate stormwater ponds on the site. Two of the ponds will be located along the site's SR 60 frontage, between the proposed buildings and SR 60. Since the ponds are over 2' deep, the stormwater management ordinance requires that the ponds be fenced or otherwise secured by a barrier. The applicant has proposed to use a combination of aluminum fence and landscaping to provide a barrier; please see attachment #5. 10. Utilities: The project will be connected to county water and sewer. This meets both concurrency and utility connection matrix requirements. These utility provisions have been approved by the County's Department of Utility Services and the State Health Department. 11. Landscape Plan & Buffers: The landscape plan is generally in compliance with Chapter 926 and the SR 60 corridor plan. The landscape plan provides a Type "B" buffer along the project's SR 60 frontage, which is required based on the SR 60 corridor plan requirements for sites with automotive bays oriented toward SR 60. A Type "C" buffer with a 6' opaque feature is proposed along the rear (north) property line, where the site abuts vacant property that is zoned RM -8 (Residential Multi -Family up to 8 units/acre). The applicant is proposing to satisfy the 6' opaque feature requirement with a 6' wood fence along the rear (north) property line. Based on the invoked pending landscape ordinance and the PD process, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission are recommending that some type of concrete wall be used to create the 6' opaque feature. Also, the Planning and Zoning Commission allowed the wall to be 6' above grade at the property line rather than above the grade of the proposed building, a height differential of about 2'. The Commission determined that the height of the feature would be adequate due to the extensive setback of the proposed building from the property line (75'). Planning staff has modified its previous recommendation accordingly. In accordance with the pending ordinance, landscaping will be provided on the residential (north) side as well as the commercial (south) side of the wall/fence, and 50% of the shrub material normally required can be eliminated due to the screening benefits of the opaque feature. 12. Environmental Issues: The 4.64 acre site is not subject to the native upland set-aside requirement since it is under 5 acres. There are no wetlands on the site; therefore, the site in not subject to any of county's environmental regulations. 13. Dedications & Improvements: The county comprehensive bikeway and sidewalk plan requires an 8' wide concrete bike path along the site's SR 60 frontage. This improvement is depicted on the plan and will need to be constructed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. 27 December 9, 1997
