� � r <br />capacity of approximately 2,000,000 gallons/day and can accommodate <br />the demand generated by the proposed zoning district. <br />- Wastewater <br />Currently, wastewater lines do not extend to the site. However, if <br />lines were extended and connected to the subject property, it would <br />be serviced by the Central County Wastewater Plant (Gifford). <br />Based upon the most intense use allowed -under the proposed zoning <br />district, development of the property will have a wastewater <br />generation rate of approximately 9 Equivalent Residential Units <br />(ERU), or 2,250 gallons/day. This is based upon the level of <br />service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. The Central County <br />Wastewater Plant (Gifford) currently has a remaining capacity of <br />more than 500,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional <br />wastewater generated by the proposed zoning district. <br />- Solid Waste <br />Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and <br />disposal at the county landfill. Solid waste generation by a 9 <br />unit residential development on the subject site will be <br />approximately 14.4 Waste Generation Units (WGU) or 43 cubic yards <br />of solid waste/year. A WGU is a Waste Generation Unit measurement <br />equivalent to 2.9625 cubic yards of waste/year. <br />According to the county's solid waste regulations, each residential <br />unit generates 1.6 WGU/unit. With the county's adopted level of <br />service standard of 2.37 cubic yards/person/year and the county's <br />average of 2 persons/unit, each WGU is equivalent to 1.25 people <br />(2/1.6 = 1.25) and 2.9625 cubic yards of solid waste/year (1.25 X <br />2.37). To calculate the total cubic yards of solid waste for the <br />most intense use allowed on the subject property under the proposed <br />zoning district, staff utilized the following formula: Total number <br />of WGUs X 1.25 X 2.37 (14.4 X 1.25 X 2.37 = 43 cubic yards/year). <br />A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the <br />county landfill indicates the availability of more than 900,000 <br />cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 3 year <br />capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. <br />Based on staff analysis, it was determined that the county landfill <br />can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site <br />under the proposed zoning district. <br />- Drainage <br />All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater <br />regulations which require on-site retention, preservation of <br />floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations. In <br />addition, development proposals must meet the discharge <br />requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance. The <br />subject property is located within the M-1 Drainage Basin. Since <br />the site is located within the Indian River Farms Water Control <br />District (IRFWCD), development on the property will be prohibited <br />from discharging any runoff in excess of two inches in a twenty- <br />four hour period, which is the approved IRFWCD discharge rate. <br />In this case, the minimum floor elevation level of service <br />standards do not apply, since the property does not lie within a <br />floodplain. However, both the on-site retention and discharge <br />standards do apply. With the most intense use of this site under <br />the proposed zoning, the maximum area of impervious surface will be <br />approximately 78,408 square feet, or 1.8 acres. The maximum runoff <br />volume, based on that amount of impervious surface and the 25 <br />year/24 hour design storm, will be approximately 95,832 cubic feet. <br />29 <br />NOV - 9199 I BOOK 9-0 F U.974 <br />
