BOOK 107 PAGE � ■ Agricultural Compatibility/Buffers: Staff's reexamination of the agricultural compatibility/buffers focused on the site's west perimeter. The east perimeter abuts 58* Avenue ( a major roadway) which coincides with the Urban Service Area boundary, and the site design provides a significant building/= setback from the ultimate 58* Avenue right- of-way (over 160). Likewise, the north perimeter abuts a major roadway (126 Street) and the site design provides an ample setback to the north perimeter (over 150' to the 126 Street right-of-way). The south perimeter abuts a large tract of active citrus but provides the site's most significant building/use setback (over 620' from the south perimeter). The west perimeter abuts a smaller tract of active citrus. Along the west perimeter, the applicant proposes a variety of outdoor recreational improvements. After the October 27, 1999 hearing, staff asked the applicant to provide more separation and a buffer between the west perimeter and the proposed recreational fields. In response, the applicant modified the site plan to move the proposed Phase M education building east of the perimeter parking lot road, resulting in a setback of over 360' from the west perimeter. The revised plans also increase the setback for the soccer, and baseball facilities from 30' to 50' and from 30' to 100' for the tennis facility. Staff also recommended that the applicant provide a Type "B" buffer (the county agricultural buffer) along the west perimeter and that the buffer be planted "up -front" with Phase I improvements. The applicant has depicted these items on the revised site plan. The modified plans include interim outside recreation areas north of the north parking lot, east of perimeter parking lot road and 350' feet from the west perimeter. In addition, staff recommends that the recreation improvements proposed in Phase III (2008) be reviewed in the finure by the Planning and Zoning Commission for final site plan approval. In summary, since the October 27th hearing, the applicant has revised the site plan to establish a buffer along the west perimeter, to increase setbacks from the west perimeter, and to go through final site plan review in the future prior to development and use of recreational areas on the site's west side. Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners gaunt special exception use approval for the education facility with the following conditions: 1. Prior to site plan release, the applicant must confirm that the educational facilities will meet the minimum spatial requirements, utilized by the Indian River County school board and the State ofFloirda 2. The property owner shall not permit the planting of and shall allow for the removal of any wild growing Caribbean fruit fly host plants. 3. Prior to issuance of a C.O. for Phase I, the sidewalk along 586 Avenue shall be constructed or otherwise guaranteed in accordance with county regulations. 4. Prior to the issuance of a C.O. for Phase I, the project's 126 Street frontage shall be paved from 586 Avenue to the nearest 12* Street driveway. 5. Prior to issuance of a C.O. for Phase I, the developer shall construct a west -bound left -tum land for the project's easternmost 12* Street driveway. 6. That the lighting of any recreational field must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
