, JAW (0 7 1992 800 S5 FhE i6 Development Regulation Amendments adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on December 4, 1991. A waiver may now be granted for projects located in the St. Johns Marsh where certain soil types exist as identified by the Soil Conservation Service soil survey maps and all other Chapter 930 requirements are met and no material adverse impact on flood protection is created. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The Site Plan has met all the Chapter 930 requirements except the cut and fill balance. The applicant has provided information from the S.J.R.W.M.D. - Army Corps of Engineers Upper St. Johns River Basin Project that predicts that upon completion of the flood control improvements currently under construction, the 100 year floodplain stage at the site will be reduced to about one and one half feet below the base flood elevation indicated on the current F.E.M.A. Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The soil types existing at the site are Holopaw fine sand, Delray muck, and Terra Ceia muck. All three of these soils are included in the waiver criteria. If a waiver is not granted the site could be re -designed to elevate the wastewater treatment plant on piling foundations or additional property could be acquired to relocate at another site in the floodplain with suitable soils for creating a cut and fill balance. Alternative No. 1 - Grant the cut and fill balance waiver based on the criteria of Section 930.07(2)(d)3. Alternative No. 2 - Deny the cut and fill waiver. This would prevent the project from obtaining the required Type B Flood Protection - Stormwater Management System permit needed to fulfill the conditions of the Planning & Zoning Commission Site Plan Approval without redesign or relocation of the wastewater treatment plant. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Alternative No. 1. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved staff's recommendation of Alternate No. 1 to grant the cut and fill balance waiver based on the criteria of Section 930.07 (2) (d) 3. E. Termination of Contract -- IRC and CONTEL ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the Termination of Contract with CONTEL to provide NOAA weather wire information to the County.
