t <br />ORDINANCE NO. 87-19 <br />coast in the eastern part of the County. The easternmost ridge is <br />about one mile west of the Indian River and reaches a maximum <br />elevation of approximately 30 feet. The other ridge is about ten <br />miles inland, corresponding closely with the I-95 corridor. A <br />wide, shallow, and relatively flat depression is found between <br />the parallel ridges; thus, urban growth is taking place in a <br />natural drainage catchment area. The north end of this <br />depression is drained by the south prong of Sebastian Creek, and <br />the south end of this depressed area is covered with an extensive <br />network of drainage canals. The lack of clearly defined natural <br />streams through this shallow "valley" is an important feature to <br />be considered in planning for storm water management. Open <br />canals are required to compensate for the lack of natural <br />streams. West of I-95, the topography is flat and marshy. Much <br />of western Indian River County is covered by the St. Johns Marsh, <br />and drainage canals have been installed to aid in the <br />agricultural use of portions of this land. <br />0s61X4 f T16O 40444 i444044t4 0 UO "164A OtOOO AtO�4 Of 00 <br />I Ai jWXXA1f/ZA 4AW <br />4OAtXt 109 X l TAAU U1610 <br />04 0 440404 <br />160100 WtA041 Ot4AAU <br />WdOAA <br />400444441 OAUt U16X4 <br />0f 30 440404 160100 <br />AlAtfA00t t444 4444 95)06) <br />Uu 04 040 164406 <br />CODING: Words in 4t4409 9444 type are deletions from existing law. <br />Words underlined are additions. <br />
