entrance are required, and none are proposed. The Public Works Director and the County <br />Traffic Engineer have approved the site's proposed driveway connection to 4th Court and the <br />on-site traffic circulation plan, and have no objection to approval of this site plan application. <br />11. Stormwater Management: The stormwater management plan has been approved by the <br />public works department, and a Type "B" stormwater permit will be issued. <br />12. Utilities: The site is currently served by county potable water and wastewater service. The <br />proposed building will be serviced by county potable water and wastewater. Connection to <br />county utility services is mandatory, and has been approved by the county's Department of <br />Utility Services and by Environmental Health Services (HRS). <br />13. Landscaping: The landscaping plan is in accordance with Chapter 926 of the county land <br />development regulations. Since the zoning classification and use of properties abutting the <br />subject site are of the same zoning and use as the subject site, no supplementary landscape <br />screening or buffers are required by the LDRs, and none are proposed. <br />14. Environmental: <br />Uplands: The subject overall site is greater than 5 acres, and is subject to review under the <br />native upland preservation requirements of LDR section 929.07. Since the site is overgrown <br />with Brazilian Pepper trees, environmental planning staff has determined that no native <br />upland vegetation communities exist on the site; therefore, no upland preservation is <br />required. <br />Wetlands: The overall 5.5 acre site contains 1.46 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. The <br />proposed project will impact the western edge of these wetlands, and a boardwalk over a <br />portion of the wetland is proposed. Therefore, a county wetland resource permit is required <br />for the proposed development. Environmental planning staff has determined that the <br />proposed project is permitable. Any mitigation that may be required will be addressed by <br />the wetland resource permit. Prior to the issuance of a land development permit (LDP) or <br />LDP waiver, the applicant will be required to obtain a wetland resource permit for the <br />project. <br />Habitat: Environmental planning staff has determined that the area of development does <br />not contain habitat that may harbor endangered plant or animal species. Therefore, a habitat <br />analysis of the site is not required. <br />16. Dedications and Improvements: Currently, 150' of Indian River Boulevard right-of-way <br />exists adjacent to the subject site. In order to provide for the 200' ultimate right-of-way for <br />the Boulevard, 25' of additional right-of-way will be needed from the site. The Public Works <br />Director has indicated that the county will purchase the additional 25' of Boulevard right-of- <br />way. Purchase of the Boulevard right-of-way will be negotiated by Public Works with the <br />applicant, and this purchase will be finalized separately from this site plan application. The <br />proposed site plan is designed to accommodate 25' of additional Boulevard right-of-way. <br />17. Special Exception General Review Criteria: In its review of this application, staff has <br />made the following findings in regard to the general review criteria for special exception uses <br />found in LDR section 971.05(7) and (9): <br />1. Ingress/egress and traffic safety have been adequately addressed in the site's access, <br />parking lot, and building access layout. All county codes relating to these issues are <br />satisfied. <br />July 28, 1998 <br />23 <br />BOOK 106 PAGE 306 <br />
