DESCRIPTIOiV & CONDITIONS Masteller & MoIer, Inc. has submitted an application for special exception use approval onbehalfof Indeco, Inc. to construct an 18 -hole championship golf course. The subject site is bordered on the west by 27"' Avenue SW, on the north by 17"Lane SW, on the east by 20"' Avenue SW and on the south by the Indian River/St. Lucie County boundary line. The subject site is zoned RS -6, Residential Single - Family (up to 6 units acre) and has an L-2, Low Density Residential (up to 6 units/acre) land use designation. Special exception use approval is needed to construct a golf course in the RS -6 zoning district. This golf course development will be located on recreation tracts within the proposed Falcon Trace Subdivision. At its regular meeting of November S. 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary plat application for the 326 -lot Falcon Trace subdivision. Since access to the golf course is dependent upon off-site improvements related to the preliminary plat application, this golf course site plan application is dependent on a land development permit being issued for the approved subdivision. At its regular meeting of November 8, 2001 the Planning and Zoning Commission also voted 6-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the special exception use request with the conditions contained in the recommendation at the end of this report (see attachment #5). At this time, the Board of County Commissioners is to consider the request and is to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the special exception use request for a golf course. Pursuant to section 971.05 of the land development regulations (LDRs), the Board is to consider the appropriateness of the requested use for the subject site and surrounding area.
