ANALYSIS 1. Project Site Area: 217,800 sq. ft. or 5.00 acres 2. Zoning Classification: RS -3, Residential, Single -Family (up to 3 units per acre) 3. Land Use Designation: L-1, Low Density Residential (up to 3 units per acre) Proposed Building Area: 540 sq. ft. or 0.01 acres (unmanned facility) I. Total Impervious Area: 35,650 sq. ft. or 0.82 acres Open Space: Required. 40.0% Proposed: 83.6% Off -Street Parking: Required: 1 space Provide& 1 space Note: The space will be provided within the electrical substation on a crushed rock surface. Since the substation will be unmanned and generally visited on an as needed basis, it is the staff's opinion that the substation is an infrequent use for which paved parking requirements can be waived if parking is provided on an approved stabilized surface. It is the County Engineer's opinion that the proposed surface is suitable for the proposed infrequent use on the subject site. By approving this site plan, the Planning and Zomng Commission will be approving the use of a crushed rock/gravel surface for parking and driveway areas as allowed by section 954.08(4) of the land development regulations. Traffic Circulation: Access to the proposed project will be provided by a two-way full movement paved driveway connection to 12th Street. A paved turn -around area will be provided on-site for vehicles denied access to the facility. Stormwater Management: The preliminary stormwater management plan has been reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department. The proposed plan provides a wet stormwater management tract (lake) in the western portion of the site. Pursuant to Chapter 930 of the LDRs, a County Type "A" Stormwater Permit will be required prior to site plan release. Landscape Plan: The proposed landscape plan has been reviewed by Planning Division staff and meets the requirements of Chapter 926 of the LDRs for interior, roadway, and non- vehicular open space landscaping areas. Since the site abuts residentially designated land to the north and east, a Type "B" buffer with a 6 -foot opaque feature is required and proposed along both the north and east proper y lines Since the site abuts throroughfare plan roadways along its west (canal and 58th Avenue) and south (12th Street) property lines, a Type "D" buffer with a 6 -foot opaque feature is required and proposed along both the west and south property lines. To meet the 6 -foot opaque feature requirement, the applicant is proposing a 6 -foot earth berm with landscaping along the east and north property lines and a 6 -foot berm/hedge combination along the west and south property lines. Planning Division staff supports the applicant's request to use a berm and landscape buffer to establish the 6 -foot opaque feature. This will provide a continuous plant line around the entire perimeter of the subject site. Abutting the subject site to the north and east is the Oaks of Vero Planned Development, which was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on Feburary 13, 2001. A November 5, 2002
