Senior Planner John McCoy reviewed the memorandum and discussed the archaeological issues and Jungle Trail alignment. The right-of-way swap with Florida Land Company occurred but the shoreline was never stabilized. The Historical Resources Advisory Committee is recommending that the County give back the upland right-of-way but this solution does not address the riparian rights nor the shoreline stabilization. Commissioner Ginn questioned the multi -family building on the west side closest to the river, and Mr. McCoy advised that the conceptual plan calls for 3 living floors with an underground garage, all of which meet the 35 -foot height limit. Commissioner Ginn felt the building was too close to the river. Commissioner Stanbridge questioned whether there were any plans for docks and noted that the archeological report was very poor. Commissioner Ginn then questioned the turnaround and gazebo west of Jungle Trail and, after discussion, staff was directed to add a condition that traffic west of Jungle Trail could only be by foot, with no vehicles allowed. Commissioner Ginn then questioned the stormwater drainage into the Indian River, and Community Development Director Bob Keating advised that stormwater will first drain into the lake and then SJRWMD allows outfall to the river in storms of great magnitude. Commissioner Stanbridge noted that there are quite a few environmentally sensitive sites in this area and felt that it would be critical that these sites be protected. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard regarding this matter. John Genoni, 3410 Harbor City Boulevard, Melbourne, commented regarding some of the issues. He noted that two-thirds of the site is dedicated to single-family housing and that there is a 25 -foot buffer around the entire site. All of the interior roads have green buffers in the rear of all lots. Regarding the archeologist's report, most of those resources are located on the west side of the property and there will be no development in that area. The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. APRIL 69 1999 -71- .��. 800K JOB Fn -Lb J
