ENVIRON11ENT <br />The subject property consists of scattered slash pine and sand <br />pine as an overstory with scrub live oak, saw palmetto in the <br />understory and wire grass and deer moss as a space understory. <br />This type of vegetation association is not considered environmentally <br />sensitive within the context of the Comprehensive Plan. There <br />are no rare or endangered plants located on the subject property. <br />Wildlife that can be expected on-site on a regular or periodic <br />basis are: <br />1) Reptiles <br />a. Gopher tortoise - <br />Gopherus Polyphemus <br />b. Southern Ringneck Snake - <br />Diadophis punctatus <br />c. Eastern Diamond back rattlesnake - <br />Crotulus Adancuteus <br />d. Eastern Indigo Snake - <br />Drymurchon Corals <br />2) Birds <br />a. Black Vulture - <br />C�gyps 'atratus <br />b. Florida Jay - <br />_ Aphel'ocoma 'cohrulescens <br />C. Florida Grackle - <br />'Q'uiscalus quiscula <br />• 3) Mammals <br />a.- N ne-Banded armadillo - <br />Aosypus novencinct'us <br />b. Old -field mouse - <br />' P'eromyscus olionotus <br />C. Southeastern pocket - <br />Gopher Geomys'pinetis <br />d. Florida mouse - <br />Peromyscun Floridarius <br />The only threatened species which could occur on this subject <br />property are the gopher tortoise and the Florida mouse. No <br />recorded observations of these animals have been made on-site, <br />Major negative environmental impacts to the subject property as <br />a result of urban development are not expected. <br />Drainage <br />The subject property is located within the Indian River Farms <br />Water Control District. The stormwater runoff from the subject <br />property will discharge into the Sublateral D-5 Canal, then run <br />east to the lateral D Canal on Citrus Road and thea north to the <br />Main Relief Canal. All proposed development requiring site plan <br />approval must meet the stormwater runoff requirements of Section 23(k) <br />of the Indian River County Zoning Ordinance. <br />Stormwater runoff generated by industrial development can be expected <br />to be significantly more intense than that created by mobile home <br />development; however, due to the large capacity of the existing <br />system, the net impact to the County drainage system will not differ <br />significantly with either type of development. <br />Flood Protection <br />The subject property is located on the "Ten mile Ridge" approximately <br />251 to 10 above mean sea level. The property is not located in a <br />flood hazard area (Zone A) as described on the Indian River County <br />FIRM. <br />NO 1'7.1992 <br />
