proper due diligence and to see if there are any "fatal flaws" from an economic, developmental, regulatory or hydraulic standpoint. First, as described previously, the pressures to increase the septic to sewer conversions to help the Indian River Lagoon, if successful, will create additional demand at the County's WWTFs. There is a need to have additional reclaimed water delivery options as well as land disposal options should wet weather or reduced demand events occur. Second, when IRCDUS is sending its reuse to the golf course sites, there could be an opportunity to draw in canal water from the Lateral D onto the site to keep the ponds hydrated and for nutrient reduction treatment. It is hoped that any such nutrient reduction from the canal system could be used as part of the County's innovative and holistic approach to TMDL reduction to assist with cleaning up the lagoon. Part of this research, subject to regulatory approval, is that any such reduction from the Lateral D canal system could be banked for potential future use should the WRWWTF ever exceed its WLA limits or as another innovative "scrubber" system that the County has that is instrumental as part of its aggressive TMDL removal efforts. Third, there could be a possibility for a combination water storage/ TMDL reduction site associated with a public park. According to Community Development, a park with walking trail facilities would be allowed under the site land use (L-1 low density Residential for the property East of 1-95, AG -2 Agricultural for the 44 -acre +/- piece West of 1-95) and zoning (RS -3 Residential Single -Family East of 1-95, A-2 Agricultural West of 1-95). Note that the triangular piece, west of 1-95 and accessible from 4th Street under 1-95, is outside the Urban Service Area (USA). There also appears to be some existing low-lying areas and/or wetlands on the rectangular piece east of 1-95. The proposed project use (Limited Utility) would be the same category as the Osprey Acres Floway and Nature Preserve Project and would go through the special exemption and site plan process like the Osprey Acres. As noted in the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan, Recreation and Open Space Element, the following policies may be applicable: Policy 1.5 By 2018, the county shall complete a needs analysis of its recreation services. This analysis will include an assessment of the type of parks and facilities needed in Indian River County, the quantity of facilities needed, the location where those facilities are needed, the current use of facilities, and a comparison of county needs to national standards for recreation services, and unique local conditions relevant to recreation services. Policy 1.9 By 2018, the Recreation Division shall evaluate new funding options, including privatization and partnerships. Policy 1.12 The county shall continue to charge park and recreation impact fees to fund a portion of the park system's capital budget needs. Policy 2.3 The county shall give Parkland acquisition priority to the area south of SR 60, west of 43rd Avenue. Page 3 of 5 C:\Granicus\Legistar5\LS\Temp\614baa68-ed37-49d2-b48c-97d5d6a5626c.docx
