50 d <br />JUL 131982 : <br />DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS <br />CONIZiENTS ON THE PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />FOR INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />I. OBJECTIONS <br />1. The transition policy (p. 18) is not consistent with the provisions <br />of s.163.3194(1), Florida Statutes. The law requires that once a plan has <br />been adopted, all development must be consistent with the plan. <br />2. Under an amendment to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning <br />Act that was effective October 1, 1980, each local government is required <br />to include standards, plans, and principles to be followed in the provision <br />of adequate sites for group homes and foster care facilities in the housing <br />element of its comprehensive plan. The proposed plan for Indian River County <br />does not address this planning consideration. <br />II. GENERAL C0N24ENTS <br />1. The proposed intergovernmental coordination element should be updated <br />to reflect that the Department of Veteran and Community Affairs is responsible <br />for the administration and review of plans under the LGCPA and the Governor's <br />Office of Planning and Budget.is responsible for the A-95 review process. The <br />Division of State Planning was abolished on July 1, 1979. - <br />2. The drainage portion of the plan contains some good policies and <br />indicates county support for the development of a comprehensive areawide surface <br />water management program. It would be appropriate for the county to, as a <br />minimum, establish a time frame for the completion of the surface water manage- <br />ment program. <br />3. The solid waste portion of the plan does not address the collection of <br />waste products. While the use of transfer stations is mentioned, we wonder if <br />this is the only method of collection. <br />4. Several elements contain fiscal proposals for capital improvements; <br />however, no effort is made to consolidate these proposals and to establish <br />their relative priority. In addition, cost for drainage improvements is not <br />included. <br />5. Under the provisions of s.163.3211, Florida Statutes, the adoption of <br />a local comprehensive plan neither exempts developers from DRI review, nor does <br />it preclude the designation of an Area of Critical State Concern pursuant to <br />Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. <br />ATTACHMENT #1 (11 of 21) <br />
