M M waterbody littoral zone(s) exemption threshold size from 4 to acre. The change would replace the 15 sq. ft. of planted _ littoral zone per 1' of shoreline formula with the formula used by the water management district. The water management district requirement is that planted littoral zone coverage shall equal or exceed 30% of the waterbody area. Finally, the change allows projects that are required to provide mitigation for wetlands filling or alteration to use required littoral zone areas to meet mitigation requirements. Commissioner Eggert inquired if this change tracked with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, and Roland DeBlois, Chief of Environmental Planning, advised that we did check it against the TCRPC with some samples, and even though it is not the same formula, it is fairly compatible. We didn't see that there was a problem. Director Keating pointed out that this was recommended by the Professional Services Advisory Commission. Chapter 934 - Section 49: Director Boling noted that there are some proposed changes to requirements for cut and fill balancing on single-family lots in the floodplains. In addition to that, the Public Works Department has proposed a fourth exemption as follows: 4. Development located within_ the Vero Lake Estates Municipal Services Taxing Unit as referenced in ordinance No. 84-81, for which a cut and fill waiver has been granted by the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners may, in its discretion, grant a waiver from the provisions of this subsection upon the affirmative showing of the applicant, by means of a competent engineering study, that the development project, as designed, will meet all other requirements of the Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Chapter and will not create a material adverse impact on flood protection.
