Reguest for Floodulain Cut and Fill Balance Waiver for Sunset Point Subdivision The Board reviewed the following memo dated 3/1/93: TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUMCT: DATE: James Chandler County Administrator James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director and Roger D. Cain, P.E. County Engineer David B. Cox, P.E. Civil Engineer Request for Floodplain Cut and Fill Balance Waiver for Sunset Point Subdivision March 1, 1993 CONSENT AGENDA Todd N. Smith, P.E., on behalf of Jack Krovocheck, developer of Sunset Point Subdivision is requesting a waiver of the cut and fill balance requirement of Section 930.07(2)(d) of the Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Ordinance. Sunset Point Subdivision received Preliminary plat approval by the Planning & Zoning Commission on December 10, 1992. The project is located on the west side of S.R. A -1-A in Sections 16 and 17, Township 33 south, Range 40 east, approximately 6/10 mile south of the Vero Beach city limits directly across from Pelican Lane. The special flood hazard areas inundated by the 100 year flood on this site are in Zone AE with base flood elevations of 5, 6, and 7 FT. N.G.V.D. The ten year stillwater elevation for the Indian River, at this site, established in the May 4, 1989 F.E.M.A. Flood Insurance Study is 3.3 FT N.G.V.D. The proposed displacement of the floodplain below 4.0 FT. N.G.V.D. for which a waiver is requested is estimated as 586 cubic yards by the applicant's engineer in the attached letter dated February 24, 1993. A previous cut and fill waiver was granted for this project by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of July 7, 1992 for filling 0.28 acres of wetlands/deepwater habitat in conjunction with issuance of a County Wetlands Resource Permit. The subject waiver request is for additional fill required to construct the subdivision roadway and lot grading. The project meets the cut and fill balance waiver criteria provided in Section 930.07(2)(d)1. of being situated in an estuarine environment within the 100 year floodplain along the Indian River and in staffs opinion it appears that all other Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Ordinance requirements can be met without adverse impact on other lands in the estuarine environment. A S.J.R.W.M.D. Wetland Resource Management Permit Number 12-061-0028 has been issued for construction of the stormwater management system. Approval of the Land Development Permit is pending the cut and fill waiver request, and issuance of F.D.O.T. driveway and drainage connection, and F.D.E.R. water and sewer connection permits. 6
