Summary Explanation/Background Information on Agenda Request:
On October 8, 2018, the City Commission unanimously approved the project at first reading.
A plat agenda item has been prepared for the project and is on tonight's consent agenda.
On September 20, 2018, the Local Planning Agency board unanimously approved the project. See September 20, 2018 LPA minutes attached.
The subject property totals approximately 5.1 acres located on the on the east side of South Kanner Highway (S.R. 76) north of Indian Street and west of the Crossings at Indian Run. Previously the site was cleared with upland preserve set aside as part of Martin County master site planning when the Crossing at Indian Run was approved.
The applicant is proposing to change the land use and rezone the property for the purpose of developing a 64 bed Assisted Living Facility (ALF) with memory care known as the Kanner Highway Assisted Living Facility. The ALF will be limited to one-story and 43,134 square feet in building area with generous landscaping and open space with buffers on three sides with a 6 foot wall separating the multi-family to the east.
Of the total site area, approximately 55% will remain pervious including open space & landscape buffers. The buffer landscape area represents 47% of the site. Tree replacement will be required due to the proposed removal of 279” of slash pines and 139” of hardwoods. Payment is based on a ratio of 1.5 to 1 for slash pines and 2.5 to 1 for hardwoods. The applicant will pay $53,287.50 into the city’s tree fund. These calculations were confirmed by the City’s environmental consultant and will be recalculated at permitting before permits are released. There are no wetlands on the site.
The applicant has provided an easement at the southern property line to allow for connection with Martin Memorial Hospital and a condition for development will require the property owner to provide similar easement and connection when application is made.
