- Drainage for Public Roads: Through the developer's agreement, the applicant will be providing drainage capacity for future improvements to 49d'Street, 53rd Street,and 58"'Avenue. The drainage will be internal to the project. 14. Drainage: There is an existing 32 acre borrow pit/lake on the site that will serve as stormwater storage for the project. Stormwater treatment will occur in created ponds and swales that will connect to the borrow pit/lake. Additional lakes will be constructed within each phase and will treat stormwater resulting from that respective phase. All lakes will be inter-connected, and will outfall into the borrow pit/lake which will ultimately outfall to an Indian River Farms Water Control District canal. Prior to construction of each phase, the applicant will need to secure stormwater management permits from the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD),the Indian River Farms Water Control District,and Indian River County. Public Works has accepted the project engineer's certification of the project's conceptual stormwater design. 15. Utilities: The entire development will be served by county water and sewer. Those utility provisions are consistent with applicable comprehensive plan policies and the LDRs,and have been approved by the Department of Utility Services and the Health Department. The applicant will need to obtain a land development permit and utility permits prior to construction of the each phase. The applicant has agreed to accept reuse water for irrigation and will work with utilities as the project progresses to accept reuse water. 16. Environmental Issues: The site has a number of environmental issues that have been addressed through the PD review process. Those issues will continue to be reviewed in more detail in the future as the project moves through the preliminary PD and permitting processes. Most of those issues relate to listed species, upland preservation, and surface water/wetland impacts. • Listed Species: There are a number of listed species that presently use the site. Those species include a nesting pair of Bald Eagles, gopher tortoises, Blue Herons, and Wood Storks. a. Bald Eagles: There is a Bald Eagle's nest located in a tree or snag located in the north central portion of the site. To meet federal requirements,the applicant will create a preserve area around the nest site. The plan proposes a 5.15 acre preserve centered around the eagle's nest. In order to protect the Bald Eagle's nest on the project site, the applicant will preserve and manage the area identified as Eagle Preserve/Habitat Enhancement on the conceptual PD plan. In so doing, the applicant will comply with all management procedures and development practices approved by the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS). A detailed conservation and habitat management plan will be approved by the USFWS prior to the initiation of land clearing or tree removal on the project site.
