BOCK J 1 J r A G E 750 Phasing: Phase I will consist of the main road. all of the other core infrastructure including utilities, the master stormwater system. and the golf course. Subsequent phases will consist of the residential pods and the utilities necessary to serve those pods. S. Environmental Issues: Uplands: Since the site is over 5 acres. the native upland set aside requirement of LDR section 929.05 applies. There are three separate areas of native upland communities comprising a total of 43.79 acres of native upland habitat on the overall 446.5 acres. Based upon the county's specific criteria for golf course development. at least 30% of existing native uplands within the project's proposed golf course area must be preserved. Existing native uplands in non -golf course areas are subject to the county- wide 15% setaside requirement. The conceptual plan accommodates these requirements and the preliminary PD plan will provide specific setaside calculations. Wetlands: The majority of the wetlands on the project are impounded estaurine wetlands along the eastern edge of the development. The only freshwater wetlands associated with the project are jurisdictional wetlands in grove ditches which will be filled as part of the development. The applicant is proposing only minor impacts within the estuarine wetlands. Such impacts relate to a proposed boardwalk and observation gazebo on the river. An existing din road that crosses the wetland area will remain and provide access for the Mosquito Control District and project pedestrians. As indicated earlier in this report. the PD plan accommodates estuarine wetland conservation. To ensure such conservation. it is staff's opinion that the developer should provide a conservation easement over the estuarine wetlands either prior to or via the PD final plat. A formal mitigation plan will be approved via jurisdictional agency and county wetland resource permits for this project. Endangered Species: Staff is not aware of any endangered species which will be significantly impacted by the proposed development. 9. Concurrency Management: A conditional concurrency certificate has been issued for this project. Thus. all concurrency related requirements related to conceptual PD plan and rezoning approval have been satisfied. 10. Stormwater Management: As with standard single-family subdivisions. a conceptual stormwater management plan is required prior to conceptual PD plan approval. For this project. a conceptual stormwater management plan has been approved by the Public Works Department. This plan proposes a system of stormwater ponds within the golf course and . residential pods. Final review and approval of the stormwater management plan shall be accomplished through the land development permit process. 11. Thoroughfare Plan: June 20, 2000 The Thoroughfare Plan classifies US #1 as a major arterial roadway which requires an ultimate right-of-way of 160'. Presently. 120' of right-of-way exists for US #1. The proposed conceptual plan accommodates dedication/acquisition of the additional 20' of right-of-way needed from this project site to achieve the ultimate right-of-way width. Therefore. the PD plan is consistent with the US #1 Thoroughfare Plan standard. 68
