5. Buffers and Setbacks: Buffering is required and proposed as follows Perimeter Minimum Required PD Proposed Buffer Buffer East Type "C" buffer (10' wide) Type "B" buffer (20' wide), with 25' wide building 20' no build zone, with 25' setback for home. building setback for home. Type "C" buffer (10' wide) Type `B" buffer (20'wide), West (adjacent to residential) with 25' wide building 20' no build zone, with 25' setback for home. building setback for home. West (adjacent to citrus Active agricultural and PD Active agricultural and PD grove) perimeter buffer: equates to a perimeter buffer: equates to a 25' wide Type "B" buffer 25' wide Type "B" buffer with a 6' opaque feature with with a 6' opaque feature. 25' wide building setback. Landscape is proposed for the opaque feature. North (adjacent to Sub -lateral Type =buildina 20' wide no build zone and Canal) with 2Type "C" buffer, with 25' setbacbuilding setback for home. South (adjacent to A 70' conservation area, Commercial) No required buffer equivalent to a Type "A" buffer. These buffer provisions meet or exceed normal LDR and PD buffer requirements. Final, detailed landscape plans for required buffers, common areas, and recreation/park tracts must be submitted to planning staff and approved prior to land development permit issuance. These plans must depict the proposed street trees and transplanted trees referenced in the applicant's letter. 16. Concurrency: The applicant has committed to obtaining a final concurrency certificate prior to issuance of each single-family building permit and has acknowledged all concurrency requirements. Therefore, all concurrency requirements related to PD plan and special exception use approval have been satisfied. 17. Caribbean Fruit Fly Host Plant: The County Comprehensive Plan requires that Caribbean fruit fly host plants be prohibited within PDs located in general areas that have active citrus groves. This project is located in such an area; therefore, the prohibition regulation applies. The applicant has indicated that he has no objection to creating a restriction that would prohibit host plants on the subject property. Such restriction must be included in the project's covenants and restrictions, which will be reviewed at the time of final plat application. 18. Public Benefits: Through the review process, the staff asked the applicant to provide a conventional subdivision design that met the RS -3 zoning district criteria and yielded the same or greater number of lots. The applicant provided such a plan for 121 lots (12 more than the PD proposal). The conventional subdivision design distributes the stormwater system throughout the project in a series of side and rear lot swales contained within easements on individual lots (see attachment #4). Under such a design, the site grade would be greatly altered to create enough volume in the swales for the stormwater; the side and rear yards are low and the house pads are high. Such grade changes would prevent most tree preservation. The design yielded 121 lots or a density of 2.76 units/acre. November 13, 2001 63
