AUG 0 9 1990 Roos:4,; <br />County Engineer Cain agreed that working with the exemption <br />might be the answer. <br />Warren Dill commented that he believed what is proposed is <br />more restrictive than FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) <br />requires, and Commissioner Bird stressed that we can't make these <br />small lots unbuildable. The only chance people in this county <br />have to go in and build a small, affordable starter home is on <br />these older grandfathered lots. <br />Attorney Collins stated that if this requirement is more <br />restrictive than FEMA, that is not what was intended. <br />William Koolage, interested citizen, expressed concern with <br />the runoff that will be created with the new building elevation, <br />and wished to know if the runoff increases, who takes care of the <br />canal where this runs to. <br />Director Keating noted that those canals, ditches, etc., <br />have a limited capacity, and that gets back to the 2" discharge <br />rate. <br />Considerable discussion ensued regarding discharge from <br />single family lots, and Commissioner Bird believed the Indian <br />River Farms drainage system was designed for agricultural runoff <br />some years ago. He felt strongly that we have some old sub- <br />divisions where we are going to have to work out some grand- <br />fathering provisions and then do the best we can with the new <br />subdivisions. <br />Public Works Director Davis talked about the concept of a <br />mitigation bank where you can contribute money to purchase lands <br />somewhere else in the 100 year flood plain. He pointed out that <br />this is a dilemma we have had since adopting the original <br />ordinance in 1982, but you can't ignore filling in the 100 year <br />flood plan because you will just force the water into other <br />subdivisions. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to speak regarding <br />Chapter 930. <br />38 <br />1 <br />
