Mr. Brackett advised that a pool will be there and stated there would be 30 feet of existing <br />natural vegetation left there. There will be rules that will require the recreation area be shut down <br />at night, perhaps 10 pm, and the lights will be on a timer. No basketball is planned for the area and <br />he advised he would not object to have that in writing. He elaborated on the size of the pool and <br />landscaping. <br />p g. <br />Director Boling added that they will still have to submit and receive site plan approval and <br />pointed out that this has a 35 -foot wide buffer, not 30 as shown on the drawing. Since this is a PD <br />special exception, if the Board wishes to prohibit some ball/court recreation, it could be added, as <br />well as lighting requirements. The best defined shielding standards are in the corridor plans and <br />those could be applied if the Board wished to make that a condition of approval on the recreation <br />tract. <br />Chairman Ginn thought prohibition of ball/court recreation should be included. <br />Commissioner Adams thought eliminating sports during the day because of the noise was too <br />limiting, and Chairman Ginn was concerned about night hours. <br />Ruth Livingston, 655 40" Avenue SW, recalled the tree problems with developers on Jungle <br />Trail and suggested formation of a volunteer group composed of people with a horticultural <br />background to monitor the trees. <br />Chairman Ginn believed this developer was different, but thought perhaps the County did <br />need an urban forester. She will put it on the agenda for the next meeting. <br />Richard Baker, 522 North Blue Island Lane, Sebastian, agreed an urban forester is <br />desperately needed. He thought connecting sidewalks was probably a good idea and healthy for Vero <br />Beach. He was concerned about having read in the local paper that ordinary subdivisions do not <br />require saving trees. <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating elucidated on the upland preservation <br />requirements for planned developments as compared to those for subdivisions where there is no <br />requirement to preserve individual trees. <br />November 13, 2001 <br />67 <br />
