<br />9.A.1. INDIANRIVERCOUNTY’SREQUESTFORSPECIALEXCEPTION <br /> <br />USEAPPROVALTOEXPANDTHENORTHCOUNTYWATER <br /> <br />TREATMENTPLANT–Q-J <br /> UASIUDICIAL <br /> <br />PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR PUBLIC HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE <br />OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br /> <br />Stan Boling, Planning Director, Community Development Department, presented an aerial <br />view of the property by using an overhead projector and spoke regarding what existed on the site <br />thth <br />and what is proposed. The site is located on the north side of 77 Street and on the west side of 58 <br />Avenue. It is in a residential, single-family zoning district. Some of the property to the South will <br />be under development shortly. Other nearby properties are County owned and are zoned <br />agricultural. The water tower on the site is operational. This request is for the expansion of a <br />proposed building. A 50-foot wide conservation area, fully vegetated, will remain. The requested <br />expansion will be 4,000 square feet. There are several upgrades to the site that were proposed, <br />with the most significant being bringing the buffers up to code. The Planning & Zoning <br />Commission voted 7 – 0 to approve this plan. Another issue that came up was the buffering along <br />th th <br />58Avenue and 77 Street. The Code calls for a C buffer; they have upgraded to a B buffer. <br /> <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Richard Baker <br />, President of the Audubon Society, wanted the Commissioners to think <br />about this project and possibly table it. There were concerns about the new water supply coming <br />in. During drought conditions the natural artesian flow will be nominal. The St. Johns River <br />Water Management District (SJRWMD) was concerned about pressure and about the brine being <br />produced with these wells. The SJRWMD was not allowing deep well injection techniques. <br /> <br />May 23, 2006 <br />12 <br /> <br />
