B. Project description and analysis

This is an application for a revised commercial, major development final site plan for an outdoor

shooting range. The project site is a sub-portion of a parent parcel of approximately 630 acres located at

500 SW Long Drive, approximately 2.3 miles north of SW Martin Highway. The entire parcel has a

designated future land use of Agricultural. The original development site of approximately 41.44 acres

received approval of a zoning change from A-2 to AG-20A in 2006. The remainder of the parent parcel

received approval of a zoning change from A-2 to AG-20A in 2007. The South Florida Shooting

Grounds project received a final site plan approval on February 25, 2009.

This application is a request to revise the approved plan to accommodate the addition of four cart barns,

an observation tower, bunker and shade structures. The site is not located within an urban service district

and is therefore currently serviced by a potable water well and septic systems. Included in this

application is a request for a Certificate of Public Facilities Reservation.

Growth Management Department

Unresolved Issues:

Item #1:

Maximum Height

No land uses or development shall be more than 40 feet high. Building height shall be measured from

the average finished grade at the perimeter of the building, except in flood hazard areas. In flood hazard

areas building height shall be measured from the base flood elevation requirement for the lowest floor as

shown on the flood insurance rate map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA). Building height shall be the difference between the finished grade or the base flood elevation

described above and either the highest point of the coping of a flat roof, the deck line of a mansard roof,

or the mean height level between eaves and ridge of gable, hip, and gambrel roofs. The mean height

level between the ridge and the eaves shall be determined on the highest section of roof. Limited

exceptions shall be allowed for structures such as church steeples, roof structures, utility poles, park

lighting, emergency structures, agricultural and industrial structures, and communications facilities as

detailed in Article 3, Section 3.14., Land Development Regulations, Martin County Code on August 13,

2013. MARTIN COUNTY, FLA., CGMP POLICY 2.1A.1(3) (2016)

J. Determination of compliance with environmental and landscaping requirements - Growth

Management Department

Environmental

Unresolved Issues:

Item #1:

General Compliance-Environmental

As a result of new information and a site inspection conducted on November 2, 2016, additional

environmental information may be required and further review may be needed prior to staff giving a

'comply' determination under the environmental review. Please see Section G, Item #1, of this staff

report for further information.


Information #1:

County environmental staff conducted an inspection on June 29, 2016 and found portions of the wetland

buffer adjacent to the proposed shotgun range had been cleared of native vegetation. In order to resolve

this environmental compliance issue, the county requested a restoration plan and the applicant agreed to

restore the area prior to issuance of this development order. The restoration plan has been approved by

the county and the restoration work will be completed prior to issuance. For record keeping purposes, an

electronic copy of the plan can be found under the correspondence project folder for this DO.

Landscape

Unresolved Issues:

Item #1:

Landscape Tabular Data

Landscape plans shall include a table which lists the gross and net acreage, acreage of development and

preservation areas, number of trees and tree clusters to be protected within the developed area and

within perimeter areas, and square footage of vehicular use areas (Ref. Section 4.662.A.10, LDR).

Interior and perimeter vehicular use areas should be quantified separately in the table. Tabular data shall

also indicate a calculation of the minimum total number of trees and shrubs required to be planted based

upon the proposed developed area and separately based upon quantities required to meet the vehicular

use area planting requirements and any required bufferyard requirements.

Please also include the following:

a. Document compliance with the requirement that twenty (20) percent of the total

developed area shall be landscaped.

b. Document that nonresidential developments provide at least one tree per 2,500 square

feet of site area.

Service function areas including solid waste collection and mechanical equipment requiring screening

shall be summarized in a table to identify equipment and the type of screening proposed.


Verify that prior landscaping installed, as documented on the As-built Landscape Plan dated 12/6/10 has


of 20

established successfully and that existing landscaping is in compliance with that plan and meets

requirements of the current landscape code contained in Martin County., LDR [Article 4, Division 15]

[2013].

9.9.16. Certification of existing landscaping has been provided in the response letter stating that

landscaping as detailed on the 12/6/10 as-built plan has been verified and is in compliance with the

Code. However, the Existing Plant List on Sheet 6 is not consistent with the Plant List on the 2010 As-

built, The proposed plant list is also not consistent with quantities labeled on the plan. Please explain the

discrepancies.

In addition there is a note on the landscape plan that states there are no landscape requirements in

Agricultural Land Use. That is only correct if the land use is an agricultural use. While shooting ranges

are permitted on a parcel zoned as agricultural, shooting ranges are considered to be a Commercial and

Business Use. See Section 3.11 Table 3.11.1, Code of Ordinances, Martin County, FL (2013) This

parcel must be developed in accordance with the requirements set forth in Divisions 3 and 4 and all

other applicable requirements of this Article and the LDR.

The Landscape Tabular data indicates that Bahia sod is a native grass: Bahia is not a species native to

Florida or North America, please correct this designation. The existing plant list indicates that Hamelia

patens 'Compacta' is a native species; the variety 'Compacta' is also not a native Florida species but is an

introduced species generally believed to have come from South Africa or southern Mexico. In the

interest of accuracy please correct this designation.

K. Determination of compliance with transportation requirements - Engineering Department

Unresolved Issues:

Item #1:

Traffic Impact

1. Distribution map must show distribution of trips. The study network will be illustrated in both

tabular and map formats, and clearly show the percentage of project traffic of the level of service

capacity up to and including the link where the project traffic falls below the two percent

threshold. The map or maps will illustrate the project location, existing and proposed traffic

control devices, existing and proposed ingress and egress locations for the project, existing and

proposed bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and existing and proposed public transportation

services and facilities on the study network. [Martin County, Fla., LDR Article 5, Division 3,

Section 5.64.C.7 (2009)]

2. Per Section 5.64.C.5, Land Development Regulations, Martin County, Fla. 2009, if no links are

impacted at the two percent or greater level, the analysis will consider the first directly accessed

road on the major road network.

3. Exhibit D should reference PM traffic, not AM.

4. The trips generated by this project are greater than 1% of the generalized service capacity of the

first directly assessed road on the major road network; therefore, the project cannot be deemed

deminimis.

L. Determination of compliance with county surveyor - Engineering Department

Findings of Compliance:


of 20

The Survey Division of the Engineering Department has reviewed the boundary and topographic

surveys submitted with the application. The Survey Division finds that both surveys are in conformance

with the requirements of Article 4 of the LDRs, the standards and practices listed in Chapter 472,

Florida Statutes, and other applicable requirements as identified in Chapter 177, Florida Statutes.

[Martin County, Fla., LDR Article 4; Chs. 472 and 177, Fla. Stat.]

M. Determination of compliance with engineering, storm water and flood management requirements

- Engineering Department

Unresolved Issues:

Item #1:

Stormwater Mgmt Post-Development

1. The amount of water quality provided is not represented accurately on the Post Development

Basin Boundary Map. Referring to the stage storage calculations, the available storage at 29.20

NAVD is 12.07ac-ft. The site provides 12.07 ac-ft in the dry detention areas and the green space

areas prior to discharging. Revise the Basin Summary on the Post Development Basin Boundary

Map to reflect 12.07 ac-ft of water quality provided.

2. Due to the existing 3 inch bleeders at elevation 26.56' NAVD, the dry detention areas will

recover half the water quality treatment volume within 24 hours and 5 days. As previously

stated in the staff report dated 5/17/2016, the narrative in the Drainage Calculations does not

accurately reflect the ICPR modeling results. The stormwater system recovers half the treatment

volume at hour 98.51 (4.10 days from the start of the storm event). Revise your narrative to

reflect the ICPR results.

Item #2:

Stormwater Mgmt Construction Plans

1. As previously requested in the staff report dated 5/17/16, remove references to The City of Stuart

Minimum Design and Construction Standards in the construction notes (sheet 5, note 5)

2. It appears the existing "8 inch Weep Hole" will need to be reconstructed to the previously

permitted 3 inch bleeder. The Engineer shall field verify and provide a detail as necessary.

Remove the note " Field Verify and Reconstruct as Necessary."
