nr SFP 7199-1 BOOK 70 Pm;r. 18 projects generating wastewater flow of up to 10,000 gallons per day (Note: a 2 bedroom, 2 bath single family home is estimated by HRS to generate 250 gallons per day wastewater flow). If a project would generate wastewater flow greater than 10,000 gallons per day, then a package treatment plant would be required. Also, according to Mr. Schuessler, a community well permit could be issued by DEP (Florida Department of Environmental Protection) for on-site water supply. -Comments from Agricultural Business Operators Staff solicited comments of the proposed farmworker housing LDRs from Graves Brothers Company, Sun -AG, B & W Quality Growers, and Jack M. Berry Groves. According to the respondents, there are currently no state or federal requirements for agricultural businesses to provide farmworker housing. Comments from these parties included concerns about some of the size, use, and density restrictions proposed (see attachment #3). The following three specific concerns emerged from staff's contacts: 1. For "tenant dwellings" and "migrant housing facility" uses, it should be made clear that housing density can be based on the gross agricultural acreage surrounding the housing area if the "density" potential of such acreage can be tied to the housing project. 2. For "tenant dwellings", workers and their families should be allowed to live on one parcel owned by the agricultural business and work on another property owned by the same agricultural business. 3. For "migrant housing facility" uses, the' restriction of no more than. 1 year-round caretaker residence for each 100 seasonal units should be loosened. The existing 96 unit Sun - Ag facility uses 2 year-round caretaker residences. Based upon these comments, staff has made some changes to the proposed farmworker LDRs, as follows: 1. Revisions have been made to section 3E and 3F, stating that housing project densities can be calculated based upon the subject (project) property "...and upon surrounding properties legally attached to the project for density transfer purposes...". 2. Revisions. have been made to section 3E so that "tenant dwellings" may be inhabited by individuals and their families who are employed in either active on-site agricultural operations "...or agricultural operations on other properties under the same ownership as the subject (project) property". 3. Revisions have been made to section 3F, increasing the maximum number of year round caretaker residences associated with "migrant housing facilities" from 1% to 5%. In planning staff's opinion, these revisions to the residential resort and farmworker housing provisions of the proposed ordinance address the direction given to staff by the Board at its August 23rd hearing. 4
