• 11. Traff e: The applicant is proposing a driveway on Indian River Boulevard to serve the mul& family (200 unit) development and another driveway on 41" Street to serve the single-family (36 unit) development. The driveway on Indian River Boulevard will align with an existing median cut, which is served by an existing left -tum lane improvement. This Indian River Boulevard driveway will be a full movement driveway. The driveway on 41 a Street will also be a full movement driveway. No additional improvements are required at the 41" Street driveway entrance due to the low number of units (36) that will use this driveway. The single and multi -family portions of the development will not have a vehicular interconnection but will have an internal pedestrian interconnection. Within the multi -family ares, a looped driveway system is proposed to provide access to all of the proposed parking spaces. The single-family area is proposed to have two internal streets that terminate in cul-de-sacs. These streets will provide access to all of the individual lots. Traffic Engineering has approved the internal circulation systems. The applicant has submitted a traffic impact analysis for the proposed development, and that analysis has been reviewed and approved by Traffic Engineering. The traffic impact analysis indicates that a left -tum lane is required at the project entrance on Indian River Boulevard. Since a left tum lane already exists there, no new off-site traffic improvements are required. 12. Sttormwater Management The Public Works Department has reviewed and approved the conceptual stormwater management plan. That plan proposes central, interconnected stormwater tracts in each project area (multi -family and single-family areas). Prior to the issuance of a land development permit or land development permit waiver, the applicant must obtain a county Type "B" stormwater management permit. 13. Concurrency: Long-range planning staff has indicated that a conditional concurrency certificate has been issued for the project. Thus, all concurrency requirements related to conceptual and preliminary PD plan approval have been satisfied. 14. Environmental Issues: Uplands: Since the site is over 5 acres, the native upland set-aside provisions could potemally apply to this project. However, environmental planning staff has inspected the site and verified that the site is an abandoned gmve that now mainly consists of Brazilian pepper. Staff has concluded that no native upland plant community exists. Therefore, no set-aside requirement applies to this project. Wa*uids: Environmental planning staff has inspects the site and verified that no wetlands exist; therefore, no wetland regulations apply to this development. 15. Utilities: The development will connect to county water and wastewater services. These utility provisions have been approved by the County Department of Utility Service and the County Health Department. 16. Dedication and Improvements: Sidewalks: The County's sidewalk and bikeway plan requires a 5' wide public sidewalk along the site's 41" Street frontage That sidewalk improvement will need to be constructed or bonded -out prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion. Internal sidewalks will be provided within both developments with construction of the improvements. A sidewalk will interconnect the two sidewalk systems so that pedestrians can walk throughout the entire project site. Streedights: Streetlights are required for loth developments and will be provided Indian River Boulevard and 41' Street Rights-of-way: No additional Indian River Boulevard or 411 Street right-of-way is needed from the site. 17. Landscaping and Buffering. The landscape plan meets the requirements of Chapter 926, including a 25' PD building setback from all adjacent property lines. A Type "C" buffer with a 6' opaque feature is required where the proposed multi -family active recreation area (Le. tennis courts) is adjacent to the overall site's south property line. A masonry wall is required for the 6 opaque feature unless an alternate design is approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The applicant is proposing a 3' berm with a continuous hedge on top to provide the 6 opaque feature This alternative was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and is in addition to the Type -C- buffer plants.
