, 5. Open Space: Required: 80% Provided: 85.25% Note: As provided for in the LDRs, project open space includes credit for lake area and counts green open recreation areas, such as soccer and baseball fields, as open space. 6. Off -Street Parking: Required: 255 spaces Provided: 547 spaces Note: 128 spaces are paved, and 419 are grassed/stabilized. County LDRs allow up to 50% (127) of the required spaces and all of the overflow spaces to be grassed/stabilized spaces. The applicant is proposing significant overflow parking to accommodate parking for infrequent special events. 7. Traffic Circulation: The site will be accessed via a main entrance (full access driveway) on CR 512. The driveway will be located approximately where the existing `old ranch" driveway is located, but will be reconfigured to meet county entrance driveway standards. The driveway will provide for all movements, and will provide outbound right and left -turn lanes for exiting the site. This entrance driveway will also provide access to the State Buffer Preserve as well as the North County Park. It will be paved from CR 512 through the front half of the proposed park area where the most intense park activity will occur (pools, lazy river, baseball fields). The paved portion will provide -access to the main parking area located adjacent to the pools and lazy river. An on-site east/west driveway will connect the main north/south driveway to parking areas and to the adjacent Middle School site to the east. This inter -connection has been approved by the School Board, and will provide secondary access for the park site. In addition, this interconnection will provide access from the park site to a CR 512 traffic signal at the Middle School's main entrance driveway. That signal can be used for the park's peak traffic times during special events. A traffic impact statement has been prepared and approved by the county Traffic Engineering Division. The results of the statement indicate that no new off-site improvements are required, and none are proposed. It should be noted that there is a county road project approved to widen CR 512 to 4 lanes and provide a turn -lane at the park/Buffer Preserve entrance. The CR 512 roadway widening project is separate from the park project and should be under construction prior to completion of the Phase I park improvements. As stated previously, these road improvements are not required for the park project. October 17, 2000 28
