Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Grove/A-1 South: Grove/A-1 East: Grove, Pashue/A-1 West: Vacant, Grove, HomeJA-1 S. Tree Circulation: Due to the small number of units proposed, no special traffic study and no off-site traffic improvements are required None are proposed. The northern 3 lots will share a single access/culvert crossing point to 8'h Street. A 40' marginal access easement/road is proposed that will run parallel to 811 Street and provide access to all three lots from a common canal crossing. The four southern lots will access 4'h Street directly via private, unpaved driveways as allowed by IDR section 954.10(3) for driveways in agriculturally designated areas. Due to the size and frontage of the tracts, each tract's driveway will meet the 33V local road separation distance from adjacent driveways. This driveway spacing meets applicable subdivision and traffic ordinance standards. Final driveway designs and locations will be reviewed through the right -of --way permit process with any single-family house constructed on any of the four southern lots. Traffic Engineering has no objection to PD plan approval. 9. Stormwater Management: A conceptual stormwater management plan has been reviewed by the Public Works Department Public Works will perform a more detailed drainage review in conjunction with review of the county Type "C" stormwater pemut that is required for each single-family house. Prior to the issuance of an LDP or LDP waiver, the developer will need to obtain a Type 'B" stormwater management permit for the required subdivision improvements. 10. Utilities: Because the site is located outside of the Urban Service Area, no water or sewer service is required, and none is requested. Therefore, the project will have on-site wells and septic tanks for each tract. These utility provisions have been approved by the Department of Utility Services and the Environmental Health Department 11. Dedication and Improvements: Presently, 30' of right-of-way exists for 40 Street which is classified as a minor arterial roadway on the Thoroughfare Plan. Minor arterial roadways, such as 4th Stmt, require an ultimate right-of-way of 100'. The applicant will be required to dedicate 30' of right-of-way without compensation to bring 4th Street up to the local road standard of 601. At a later date the county can acquire the remaining 40' to complete the 100' right-of-way. The county does not wish to purchase the future right-of-way at this time. The design accommodates the 30' dedication and the 100' ultimate right-of-way. Since the proposed development is a low volume traffic generator/attractor and is loci outside the Urban Service Area, the applicant is not required to pave 4'h Street or 8'h Street, and no such paving is proposed No sidewalk or bikeway improvements are required, and none are proposed. 12. Concurrency: The applicant has obtained a conditional concurrency certificate which satisfies concurrency requirements related to the special exception use and preliminary PD plan/plat requests. Therefore, all concurrency requirements related to special exception use and preliminary PD plan/plat approval have been satisfied. 13. Environmental Issues: The site is essentially improved pasture with some scattered, isolated wetlands. The improvements are designed to avoid any wetlands. 14. Buffers and Seffiacks: Given that the surrounding area is presently used for and is designated for agricultural purposes, no special buffering is required. Since the A-1 district 30' setbacks exceed the 25' planned development perimeter setback, the 30' A-1 district setback will control. Therefore, no special setbacks are requested, and none will apply to this projecL 15. Canbban Fruit Fly Host Plant: The county Comprehensive Plan requires that Caribbean fruit fly host plum be prohibited within PDs in agricultural areas. The applicant has indicated that he has no objection to creating a restriction that would prolu'bit host platin on the subject property. Such restrictions must be included in the project's covenants and restrictions, which will be reviewed at the time of final phut application. 16. Waivers: The applicant is not requesting any waivers through the PD process. JULY 209 1999 -27- BOOK hJ PAGES
