The proposed DRI provides secondary access from S.R. 60 south to the proposed new commercial area (see attachment #6). That access is via an easement from an adjacent property owner to Horizon. In staffs opinion, construction of the secondary access will provide potential access to S.R. 60 while avoiding negative impacts to preserve areas. Via the recommended D.O. conditions, Horizon will agree to not object to or obstruct connections to the secondary access driveway(s) from adjacent properties. It should be noted that private arrangements among adjacent property owners would be needed to effectively extend the proposed new access as far south as desired by area property owners. 4. Human Resource Impacts: Sheriff's Office operations and emergency services have been evaluated and are addressed in the recommended D.O. conditions. Sheriffs Office impacts are addressed in the D.O. as a result of meetings between the developer, planning staff, and the Sheriff's Office. As has been done with the Indian River Mall DRI project, the outlet center is currently providing office space for Sheriffs Office field operations. The D.O. will require the developer to continue to provide such space free of charge and provides for the Sheriffs Office and developer to mutually agree upon office space upgrades and future relocation, if desired. In addition, special safety design features and on-going tenant management crime prevention training will be required via the D.O. Emergency access provisions have been devised based upon agreement between the developer, emergency services staff, and planning staff. 5. S.R. 60 Corridor Plan: The recommended D.O. contains an explicit condition that the project is subject to the S.R. 60 Corridor Plan. 6. . Recommended Development Order (D.O.): The recommended D.O. resolution (see attachment #7) is the "heart" of the DRI approval and is based upon the conditions recommended by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council. Modifications to the council's conditions have been made to tie the conditions to specific county development and approval processes and to address local concerns. The format of the proposed conditions indicate modifications to the council's recommended wording. Highlights of D.O. conditions are as follows: -Condition 4: Sets the D.O. expiration date at December 31, 2009. Condition 16: Requires a conservation easement over 26.27 acres of scrubby pine flatwoods, pine flatwoods, and sand pine scrub located along I-95 and in the southern portion of the overall project site. Condition 20: Requires a conservation easement over 36.24 acres of mixed hardwood swamp and 7.61 acres of freshwater marsh in various locations within the overall project site. -Condition 40: Requires installation of traffic signals at the I-95/SR 60 off ramps, when warranted. -Condition 41: Requires the developer to monitor the SR 60/94th Drive project entrance for the need for signalization and to provide signalization when warranted. -Condition 43: Requires the developer to update the project traffic analysis if project development is proposed beyond December 31, 2002. No building permits will be issued after 2002 unless adequate roadway levels of service can be maintained. 7. Post -DRI Approval: If the DRI is approved, the project may not be developed without site plan approval. Any project site plan will be subject to the appropriate D.O. conditions and the county's LDRs, and will require review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant DRI approval and adopt the attached development order resolution, with the conditions contained therein.
