s On March 16,1999,the Board of County Commissioners adopted an ordinance redesignating the subject properties to C-1. Consistent with state law, however, the effective date of that ordinance is when the land use designation amendment is found "in compliance" by the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA). According to state law, DCA must determine that the amendment is either "in compliance" or "not in compliance" within 45 days from receipt of the amendment. DCA has not yet formally made that determination. Therefore, at this time, the future land use patterns in the area of the subject properties are as follows: - Subject Property 1 With the exception of estuarine wetlands along the Indian River Lagoon, Subject Property 1 and all surrounding properties are designated M-2, Medium -Density Residential -2, on the county's future land use map. The M-2 designation permits residential uses with densities up to 10 units/acre. The estuarine wetlands along the Indian River Lagoon are designated C-2, Estuarine Wetlands Conservation -2. The C-2 designation permits residential uses with densities up to lunit/40 acres on site or off site density transfer credits of up to 1 unittacre. - Subject Property 2 Subject Property 2 is designated C-2 on the county's future land use map. Nearby lands on the barrier island, to the east of Subject Property 2, are designated L-1, Low -Density Residential -1, on the county's future land use map. The L-1 designation permits residential uses with densities up to 3 units/acre. - Subject Property 1 Providing habitat to several species of listed wading birds, Subject Property 1 consists of *21 acres of coastal oak hammock and ±16 acres of wetlands (impounded estuarine salt marsh) associated with the Indian River Lagoon. The subject property is within an "AE" 100 year floodplain, with a minimum base flood elevation requirement of six to seven feet NGVD. - Subject Property 2 Subject Property 2 consists of ±15.8 acres of impounded estuarine wetlands associated with the Indian River Lagoon. Subject Property 2 also provides habitat for several species of listed wading birds. Mangroves are the primary native vegetation on the site. The subject property is within an "AE" 100 year floodplain, with a minimum base flood elevation requirement of five feet NGVD. Utilities and Services - Subject Property 1 Water lines extend to Subject Property 1 from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant, while wastewater lines extend to the site from the South Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. - Subject Property 2 Water lines extend to within a quarter mile of Subject Property 2 from the City of Vero Beach Water Plant, while wastewater lines extend to within a quarter mile of the site from the City of Vero Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant. - Subject Property I Subject Property 1 abuts Indian River Boulevard which is classified as an urban principal arterial road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. This segment of Indian River Boulevard is a four -lane paved road with approximately 150 feet of public road right-of-way. There are no plans to expand Indian River Boulevard - Subject Property 2 Subject Property 2 cannot be accessed directly from an automobile. Island Drive, a private local road, links the site to SR AIA. Classified as an urban minor arterial, that segment of SR AIA is a two lane paved road with approximately 100 feet of public road right-of-way. That segment of SR A 1 A is programmed for expansion to an urban principal arterial with 120 feet of public road right- of-way by 2020. APRIL 6, 1999 • -75- BOOK U3 FAGE 833
