• 7. Traffic Circulation: Access to 66' Avenue for all seven tracts will be via the subdivision's roadway, proposed as a single cul-de-sac along the southern boundary of the project. The road will be constructed as a stabilized unpaved road within a 60' private road right-of-way. The LDRs allow such a road to be unpaved, since the subdivision is private, generates less than 100 daily trips, and is located outside the Urban Service Area. The traffic engineering division has reviewed and approved the roadway layout. 8. Stormwater Management: The public works department has reviewed and approved a conceptual stormwater plan. A detailed engineering stormwater plan will be reviewed and approved as part of the land development permit or permit waiver process. 9. Utilities: The project will have on-site well and septic tanks for each tract. These utility provisions have been approved by the Utility Services and Environmental Health Departments. 10. Dedications & Improvements: The existing 66' Avenue right-of-way is currently 50', less than the minimum 60' local roadway requirement. Therefore, 5' of additional 661' Avenue right-of-way is required from the site without compensation. The ultimate road right-of-way width for 661 Avenue is 136'. However, the Public Works Director has indicated that the county does not want to purchase any of the additional 38' of 661h Avenue right-of-way that may ultimately be needed from the site. Prior to the issuance of a land development permit (LDP) or LDP waiver, the applicant shall dedicate without compensation 5' of 661 Avenue right-of-way from the site. Since the proposed development is a low traffic generator/attractor and is outside of the Urban Service Area, the applicant is not required to provide sidewalks or bikeways. 11. Concurrency: The applicant has obtained a conditional concurrency certificate which satisfies concurrency requirements related to the special exception use and preliminary PD plan/plat requests. Therefore, all concurrency requirements related to special exception use and preliminary PD plan/plat approval have been satisfied. 12. Environmental Issues: Since the site is over 5 acres, the native upland set-aside requirements of section 929.05 potentially could apply. However, based upon an inspection of the site by the county's environmental planning staff, staff has determined that no native upland habitat exist on the site. Therefore, no native upland habitat preservation requirements apply. 13. Waivers: The applicant is not requesting any waivers through the PD process. 14. Buffers and Setbacks: Given that the surrounding area is presently used for agricultural purposes, no special buffering is. required under the planned development LDRs. Since the A-1 district minimum 30' setback exceeds the 25' perimeter PD setback, the 30'A-1 district setback will control. Although no specific agriculturetresidential buffers apply, the plan proposes a minimum distance of 50' from any building envelope to any adjacent property with an active agricultural operation. The proposed location of the project's roadway creates a situation for double frontage lots for the property immediately south of the project. While LDR section 915.16 does not require a perimeter buffer, a double frontage buffer could be required along the southern boundary if properties south of the road are not allowed to access the road [reference LDR sections 913.09(6)(c)5 and 913.09(3)(c)5]. However, as allowed by LDR section May 12, 1998 45 •
