-I Boor 79 F'a;:c 211 County a letter dated January 17th which included their observations. The issue they addressed was how well the Plan provided for protection of the Indian River Lagoon. She informed the Board that staff brought them up to date on several things and showed them other portions of the Plan that related to their concerns, and she was happy to say that as a result of this discussion, it seems that most, if not all, of the concerns they raised were addressed. Ms. Mckay thanked the Board for the opportunity to address them and commended them on the work they have done. Bud Kleckner had a general comment in regard to the Drainage Element. He stressed the need for a great deal of coordination between the County and the various municipalities in the development of their Comprehensive Plans because while he felt comfortable with a lot of county policies, he was very uncomfortable with some of the policies in the plans developed by the municipalities. In example, in regard to the County's water quality objective and the policies under it, he would encourage that policy be followed closely and quickly because the river is really in trouble. DRAINAGE SUB -ELEMENT Goal Provide a drainage system for Indian River County which reduces the risk of property damage and inconvenience from long term flooding, promotes stormwater recharge of the shallow aquifer, reduces stormwater pollutant loading of the Indian River Lagoon and receiving waters and provides proper floodplain management. OBJECTIVE 1 FLOOD PROTECTION All new construction and improvements will be protected from the 25 year/24 hour storm event. - NO COMMENT OBJECTIVE 2 EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM By 1995, existing drainage systems in the county will on average accommodate the 5 year/24 hour storm event. This will maximize the use of existing facilities. - NO COMMENT 104
