DESCRIPTION AISM CONDITIONS Background The Carlton River Club is a planned residential development (PD) proposed at the south end of Jungle Trial in the Town of Indian River Shores . The proposed development fronts Jungle Trail . and includes both sides of Old Winter Beach Road (barrier island portion ) leading to the old bridge head ( "bridge tender ' s site ") . The right-of-way of Old Winter Beach is owned by Indian River County, as is the bridge tender ' s site at the road ' s terminus . The developer of the proposed Carlton River Club is Mason Simpson, President of CRC Development Company. The engineering firm for the project is Knight, McGuire & Associates, Inc . On April 20, 2000, Knight, McGuire & Associates applied to the County Public Works Department for a right-of-way permit to pave Old Winter Beach Road for access to the south portion of the planned Carlton River Club . -_ However, since Old Winter Beach Road is designated a "scenic and historic road . " county staff advised the applicant that the proposed road paving would need to be reviewed by the Historic Resources Advisory Committee (HRAC) and approved by the Board of County Commissioners prior to county staffs issuance of a right-of-way permit. The HRAC considered the matter on June 8 . 2000 , and ae'ain on December 14 . 2000 (see attached HRAC minutes ) . This matter is now being presented to the Board of County Commissioners for consideration . HRAC Recommendation At its meeting on June 8 . 2000 . the HRAC voted 3 -0 to recommend that the Board of Counn, Commissioners allow the road paving , but with the following conditions : • that the bridge tender ' s site remain in public ownership at its historic location ; • that public access to the bridge tender ' s site remain unrestricted; and • that the roadway improvements be the minimum necessary to meet the developer ' s access needs , as well as be designed to be the most historically compatible in meeting those needs . Further, staff had concerns at that time about the intersection of Old Winter Beach Road and Jungle Trail from a traffic safety viewpoint. To address points raised at the June 8 , 2000 HRAC meeting, the developer redesigned the proposed paving plan . On December 14, 2000, the HRAC reviewed revised engineering drawings . At that meeting, the HRAC voted 3 -0 to recommend against approval of the revised design, based on the opinion that the revised plan did not minimize improvements and could be better designed to be more historically compatible ( see attached minutes) . More specifically, the HRAC did not want the road to have a typical profile of a subdivision road fronting residential lawns . The HRAC also questioned the need of a sidewalk since it conflicts with the intent to minimize the width of the roadway improvement. Latest Revised Plan Based on EIRAC Concerns The developer has again revised the Old Winter Beach Road paving design to address the issues raised at the December 14, 2000 HRAC meeting. The latest revisions are summarized as follows : January 23 , 2001 67 BK N353 , 7 t + + ` `� Ts " � a ° b °'� "w' ' h"I3 i zt 1 ,1 r I j r t Y Ixv Y , ,y '{.t j .: I { ( t . . . .. a
