_I • the fence must be less than 50% opaque when viewed at a right angle to the fence; and • the fence must be located in the outer 10' of the buffer, i.e. more than 20' from the travel way; and • no native vegetation in the buffer can be removed to construct the fence. Previously, the developer had proposed a temporary construction access point to Jungle Trail near CR 510 for access to a construction and sales office. While the Jungle Trail Management Plan does not address the use of the Trail as access for development purposes, it has been the past practice of staff to discourage the use of the Trail for access. In fact, during its consideration of the original PD rezoning request, the Board agreed with staff and denied use of Jungle Trail for construction access. It is staffs opinion that vehicular access should be denied to Jungle Trail, and all vehicular access should be required to come from CR 510 through the project The applicant now proposes a construction entrance off C.R. 510 at the east end of the site. 19. Use of Tracts: Tracts B & C - Drainage facilities and common area for recreation, open space and landscaping. Tracts D & E- Multi-purpose recreation facility, 3,000 square foot Property Owners Association building, tennis courts. These improvements require Indian River County site plan approval. Tracts F, H, & I - Common area for recreation, open space and landscaping. Tract G - Common recreation area, open space, landscape, and double frontage buffer. Tracts J & K- Landscape, pedestrian access, and emergency access. Note: Tract A is reserved for future development Any such development must be consistent with the uses in the RS -6 zoning district, or the tract must be rezoned. 20. Landscaping and Buffering: The planned development compatibility standards require a 25' perimeter building (residence) setback within all planned developments. Landscape buffers can be required within these setbacks, depending upon the proposed type of development within the PD and adjacent development or zoning. For this project, buffers are required as follows: North: Along the north property line, the proposed project is adjacent to the Town of Orchid. The property within the Town of Orchid adjacent to the project has been dedicated as a conservation tract, with Jungle Trail just to the north of the conservation easement. The conservation area is the Jungle Trail buffer area. The applicant is proposing a Type "C" landscape buffer for this area, and that is consistent with LDR section 915.16. West: The west project perimeter is adjacent to Jungle Trail. As earlier described, the applicant will be using citrus to provide a buffer consistent with the plan previously approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. South: Lying across CR 510 to the south of the property is a grove which has a residential land use designation. There is no buffer required along the south property line adjacent to CR 510, since the applicant is providing a 150' transitional area. East: To the east of the project site is Oceanaire Heights and Spring Place, subdivisions which are residentially designated and residentially developed The developer is proposing to provide a Type "C" buffer along the east boundary of the project site; this is consistent with the requirements of LDR section 915.16. Principal structures will be setback 25' from the east property line and pools and decks will be setback 10'. These provisions are consistent with LDR sections 915.16(1)(A) and 915.16(1)(B). The requested PD rezoning and corresponding conceptual PD plan are compatible with the surrounding area, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, meet all concurrency requirements, and are consistent with the site's L-2, Low Density 2 (up to 6 unitstacre), land use designation. The subject property is suitable for residential development given the surrounding land use and zoning designations as well as its proximity and direct access to CR 510. MAY 59 1998 40 0
