DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Kimley-Hom & Associates Inc. has submitted an application for site plan approval on behalf of the Realtors Association of Indian River County to construct an office building and related improvements at the southeast comer of US Highway 1 and Quay Dock Road, a road designated as historic in the county's comprehensive plan (see attachment #7). Fronting 67th Street, Quay Dock Road, and U.S. Highway 1, the site is split zoned with CL (Commercial Limited) and RM-3 (Residential Multi­ family/ up to 3 units per acre) zoning. Recently, the county rezoned a small portion of the project site from RM-3 to CL to make up for the amount of CL zoned property lost from the site through right­ of-way dedication. The site is currently vacant, and proposed to be developed as an office building, a permitted use in the CL zoning district. As proposed, the site plan shows that a small portion of the site improvements will be constructed within the Quay Dock Road historic road buffer. Under the county's scenic and historic roads regulations (see attachment #6), the proposed "encroachment" is allowed if approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission is now to consider approval of the request for site plan approval and construction of certain improvements within the Quay Dock Road historic road buffer. F:\Community Development\Users\MARKZ\Docs\P&Z\J,009\RealtorsAssocationBuilding\p&zreport.rtf 1 ANALYSIS 1. Size of Development: 2.20 Acres or 95,832 square feet 2. Zoning Classifications: CL (Limited Commercial) RM-3 (Residential Multi-Family up to 3 units per acre) Note: The western 62 % of the site is zoned CL, while the eastern 38 % is zoned RM-3. 3. Land Use Designations: C/I (Commercial/Industrial) L-1 (Low-Density I up to 3 units per acre) 4. Building Area: 8,097 square feet ( office and meeting room area) Note: The proposed building is one story. 5. Open Space: Required: 30.7%* Proposed: 52.0% Note: The required open space is calculated on a pro-rated basis using the minimum open space requirements of the CL (25%) and the RM-3 (40%) districts. 6. Traffic Circulation: Access to the site will be from one full movement driveway connection to 67th Street which will be paved (see #12 below). There will be no access or driveway connection to U.S. Highway I or Quay Dock Road. County traffic engineering has approved the internal traffic circulation plan and the project traffic study. Other than the 67th Street paving, no off-site traffic improvements are required or proposed, 7. Off-Street Parking: Required: 29 spaces Provided: 41 spaces (39 standard and 2 handicapped) Note: The parking area is located adjacent to the office building at the west end of the site. Although the amount of parking exceeds the county minimum for office buildings, the "extra" spaces are needed to accommodate parking for meetings and seminars. 8. Utilities: The project will have public water and sewer service provided by the county. The Department of Utility Services and the Department of Health have approved these project utility provisions. 9. Tree Preservation: There are numerous existing oak and palm trees on the site. Of these, 16 oaks and 9 palms are to be preserved or relocated within the proposed development. The palm trees are located in the northern and western part of the site, with a majority of the oak trees at the eastern end of the site. No specimen size trees are being removed from the site; so no mitigation is required. During construction, tree protection barriers will need to be placed around all trees to be preserved. The county's environmental planning staff has approved the project's tree protection/ relocation plan. 10. Landscape Plan: The proposed landscape plan satisfies the requirements of Chapter 926 of the LDRs. As required, the site plan depicts a thoroughfare roadway landscape buffer and a local roadway / Type "B" buffer along U.S. Highway I and 67 th Street, respectively. Both landscape buffers include a 4' opaque feature above parking lot grade. The Quay Dock Road buffer varies in width from 25' to 45' and is equivalent to a Type "B" buffer with a 4' opaque feature.

    Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks Cleveland Way Trail: walk the 3 miles from Rievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire to Helmsley Castle and tread in the footsteps of medieval Pilgrims along what’s now part of the Cleveland Way Trail. Camino de Santiago/Way of St James, Spain: along with trips to the Holy Land and Rome, this is the most famous medieval pilgrimage trail of all, and the most well-travelled in medieval times, at least until the advent of Black Death. Its destination point is the spot St James is said to have been buried, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Today Santiago is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites. Read more . the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela holds a Pilgrims’ Mass every day at noon. Walk as much or as little of it as you like. Follow the famous scallop shell symbols. A popular starting point, both today and in the Middle Ages, is either Le Puy in the Massif Central, France OR the famous medieval Abbey at Cluny, near Paris. The Spanish start is from the Pyrenees, on to Roncevalles or Jaca. These routes also take in the Via Regia and/or the Camino Frances. The Portuguese way is also popular: from the Cathedrals in either Lisbon or Porto and then crossing into Falicia/Valenca. At the end of the walk you receive a stamped certifi cate, the Compostela. To achieve this you must have walked at least 100km or cycled for 200. To walk the entire route may take months. Read more . The route has inspired many TV and fi lm productions, such as Simon Reeve’s BBC2 ‘Pilgrimage’ series (2013) and The Way (2010), written and directed by Emilio Estevez, about a father completing the pilgrimage in memory of his son who died along the Way of St James.

  • Proof-Of-Concept Experiments for Quantum Physics in Space
    Proof-of-Concept Experiments for Quantum Physics in Space Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Aspelmeyer, Thomas Jennewein, Caslav Brukner and Anton Zeilinger Institut f¨ur Experimentalphysik, Universit¨at Wien, Boltzmanngasse 5, A-1090 Wien, Austria Martin Pfennigbauer and Walter R. Leeb Institut f¨ur Nachrichtentechnik und Hochfrequenztechnik, Technische Universit¨at Wien, Gußhaussstraße 25/389, A-1040 Wien, Austria Quantum physics experiments in space using entangled photons and satellites are within reach of current technology. We propose a series of fundamental quantum physics experiments that make advantageous use of the space infrastructure with specific emphasis on the satellite-based distribution of entangled photon pairs. The experiments are feasible already today and will eventually lead to a Bell-experiment over thousands of kilometers, thus demonstrating quantum correlations over distances which cannot be achieved by purely earth-bound experiments. I. INTRODUCTION Space provides a unique ”lab”-environment for quantum entanglement: In the case of massive particles, the weak gravitational interaction enables the expansion of testing fundamental quantum properties to much more massive particles than is possible today [1]. In the case of photons, the space environment allows much larger propagation distances compared to earth-bound free space experiments. This is mainly due to the lack of atmosphere and due to the fact that space links do not encounter the problem of obscured line-of-sight by unwanted objects or due to the curvature of the Earth. Quantum experiments over long distances are usually based on the transmission of photons. Earth-based transmission is limited, however, to some hundred kilometers both for optical fibers [2, 3] and for ground-to-ground free-space links [4].

George Bradley, a serf, was lowered on the end of a lengthy rope. Dudley’s little experiment with another man’s existence did not result in the establishment of the fact that holes in the ground indeed did have bottoms; instead it became itself a source of legend as spinners would elaborate a just-so story according to which serf George was raving mad when hauled back to the surface, with hair turned white, and a few days later would succumb to the shock of it all.

  • The Recovery of Manuscripts
    Cultural heritage The Recovery of manuscripts David RUNDLE ABSTRACT Manuscripts were the cornerstone of humanism. They had been the main vector for transmission of the ancient texts and culture in the Middle Ages. Most of them had nonetheless been lost or forgotten in remote libraries. In order to recover the ancient Greek and Latin texts they favoured, humanists went on a European quest to find these manuscripts. From Italy, at first, humanists travelled all across Europe, visiting convents and libraries, in search of the lost works of Tacitus, Cicero, etc. building and securing the antique legacy of European culture. Portrait of Poggio holding a manuscript on the first page of the Ruins of Rome (Biblioteca apostolica Vaticana, Urb. Lat. 224, fol. 3). This treatise dedicated to another prominent manuscript hunter, the pope Nicholas V, is a meditation on the loss of Roman culture. Manuscripts were humanism’s lifeblood, its inspiration and its purpose. The production of new books in a new, or revived, style of Latin and with a new, or revived, presentation on the page was central to their activities. But before they could even be conceived, there needed to be classical texts to be imitated. Behind the humanists’ practices lay an agenda of manuscript recovery all across Europe. They were conscious of themselves as cut off from the classical past and set themselves the challenge of discovering works which had not been seen—they said- —by scholars for centuries. In writing of their achievements in doing this, they exaggerated both their own heroic endeavours and the dire state that preceded them.

  • Attempts at Geopolitical Restauration
    Chapter 4 Attempts at Geopolitical Restauration Apart from aspects of the empire’s internal politics (imperial ideology, divi- sions within the Constantinopolitan court elite, problematic imperial- Venetian relations) our astrological corpus also contains information regarding Baldwin ii’s foreign politics, especially on relations with the Castilian court. The estab- lished view on the Latin empire’s geopolitical position within the Byzantine region (Balkan, Aegean, Asia Minor) under Baldwin ii is that Constantinople and its dependencies were waiting to fall into the hands of the Nicaean em- peror comme un fruit mûr, as Jean Longnon has so eloquently put it: a pas- sive existence with an inevitable outcome.1 This, however, negates the fact that on the diplomatic level the emperor and his entourage in the 1240s and 1250s continued developing one project after another with a range of international partners with the aim at maintaining and ultimately restoring his empire: the 1237–1240 crusade (with papal support), the alliance with Konya in the early 1240s, the Cuman alliance in the 1240s, the diplomatic relations with the Mon- gols in the 1240s and 1250s (which appear to have inaugurated a “Black Sea policy,” as John Giebfried has suggested, although this presumably was pre- dominantly a Venetian attempt to dominate trade in the region), the project involving the Order of Santiago in 1245–1246 (again with papal support), the 1248 campaign in the Constantinopolitan region, the re-establishment of a more active imperial policy vis-à-vis the Latin Orient (Cyprus and Syria- Palestine) in the context of the Seventh Crusade (1248–1254), a possible mar- riage alliance with Trebizond in the 1250s (with the French king Louis ix mediating), and the “grand alliance” between Achaia, Epiros, Sicily, and Con- stantinople in 1257/58–1259.2 This dynamic diplomacy—although not always 1 Longnon, L’empire latin de Constantinople, 186.
