No. 28-3A=39-00000-0010-00014.0 REFERENCE:- Project No. 95040089 DATE: July 3, 1995 CONSENT AGENDA DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Bill Doyle Construction has submitted a building permit application for a single family residence on the subject property, and has requested a waiver of the cut and fill balance requirement of Section 930.07(2)(d) of the Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Ordinance. The - site is located in special flood hazard area Zone AE with base flood elevation of 10.0 ft. N.G.V.D. The ten year flood elevation, is 5.0 ft. N.G.V.D. The proposed displacement of the floodplain below 5.0 ft, for which the waiver is requested is 146 cubic yards as indicated in the attached letter from the applicant's engineer dated June 27, 1995. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The project meets the cut and fill balance waiver criteria provided in Section 930.07(2)(d)l. 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. The applicant has also submitted an alternative grading plan that satisfied the cut and fill balance requirement without needing the waiver. The alternative plan was approved with the Type C Float Management.System Permit on June 28, 1995. The applicant is requesting the waiver so he will have the option of not constructing an, -on site retention area if the waiver is granted. Alternative No.: l Grant the cut and fill balance waiver based on the criteria of Section 930.07(2)(d)l. Alternative No. 2 Deny the cut and fill waiver. Require an on site retention area be provided to compensate for the proposed floodplain displacement. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Alternative No. 1. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved the cut and fill balance waiver for the residence located at 9115 44th Avenue, pursuant to recommendations by staff.
