• • Note: Currently, a gap exists between the 1984 alignment deeded to the county and the actual travelway. This gap area is owned by the applicant. The proposed deed swap will eliminate this gap. It is important to note that the proposed PD plan provides space to meet the setbacks and buffering outside of and in addition to the 1984 Jungle Trail right-of-way area. Therefore, the decision on the right -of -Way request will not affect the proposed PD plan nor the proposed setbacks and buffering between the existing Jungle Trail travelway and the proposed development. Thus, under the proposed PD plan, any right-of-way that might be deeded back from the county would merely remain as open space between the physical Trail and proposed buffers. The developer has committed to maintain a 50' setback for all structures from the east edge of the 1984 right-of-way, which is a recommended condition of approval. 19. Archaeological Sites: The applicant has prepared an archaeological survey of the site, which has been reviewed and approved by the State of Florida, Division of Historic Resources. That survey has also been reviewed by the Historic Resources Advisory Committee (HRAC). The developer has agreed to follow the findings of the archaeological survey, which is consistent with the review and recommendation of the HRAC. Those findings call for the developer to: • Identify and avoid archaeological middens known to occur in the area If such avoidance is not feasible, a Phase II archaeological survey must be conducted prior to construction in those areas. • Hold a pre -construction meeting with an archaeologist, county staff and the developer prior to construction for any phases. The purpose of such meetings will be to identify specific areas to be avoided. • Have an Archaeologist on site during the land clearing and earthwork portion of construction, for the areas adjacent to Jungle Trail, presently depicted as the multi- family section (Phase M. • Conduct a new archaeological survey if there is a proposed change in the development layout near Jungle Trail. A Phase II survey is a more intense systematic and comprehensive exploration and investigation of potential archaeological sites which may include controlled excavation. Any Phase II or additional survey work that may be required will involve coordination between the developer, the county, and the state. 20. Landscape and Buffering: The landscape and buffering plan meets the criteria of Chapter 926. Other than the Jungle Trail buffer, there are no special buffers required along any other Property line. However, the Sea Oaks property owners are requesting that as many canopy trees as possible be preserved along a portion of the project's south property line that is east of the water plant. Staff recommends that Kone) canopy tree be preserved or planted for every 50 lineal feet of that property line. 21. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Disney's Vero Beach Resort, Coralstone Club, Vacant/RM-6, A-1 South: Sea Oaks, Indian River Lagoon/RM-6 East: Coralstone, Disney's Vero Beach Resort/RM-6 West: Indian River Lagoon, Vacant/RS-1 Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Authorize the county to accept the Jungle Trail right-of-way from the developer and the Chairman to sign a quit claim deed to swap the Jungle Trail right-of-way, when requested by the County Attorney's office, and APRIL 69 1999 -69- BOOK 103, EDGES7
