Mr. Cox explained the plans for that road informing that all the modeling that has been <br />done was with the assumption that Minute Maid Road stays a dirt road, and it is a private <br />easement, not a county right-of-way. They have however designed and worked on the traffic so <br />that Minute Maid Road is only a Turnpike interchange and the people who use the dirt road <br />would be able to access the interchange but they were not planning to widen, improve or use that <br />as an access. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan asked what was the current number of units that could be put on <br />the Cloud Grove site under its existing zoning and land use. <br />Mr. Cox answered 1 unit per 5 acres and the total that could be done without stewardship <br />would be 4,464 units. Further, the adopted St. Lucie Comprehensive Plan has an "absolute <br />limitation" on the number of homes that can be built in the whole 22,000 acres and the total <br />number of homes that could be built in the entire area would be 13,428 and 12,000 of those <br />homes would go in the mixed use town of Cloud Grove. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan further questioned the 12 000 proposed units of Cloud Grove <br />asking how many wells they anticipated drilling to provide water for those units. <br />Mr. Cox was not sure, but they were in the process of working out a modeling protocol <br />with St. Lucie County Utilities to determine how many wells are needed and where they should <br />go. Regarding Indian River County, the Law requires that they could not interfere with any other <br />user with that system including other utility providers and agricultural operations, he stated. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan asked how many million gallons of water 12,000 units would be <br />expected to use per day. <br />February 19, 2007 8 <br />Joint Workshop/St Lucie <br />
