Residential Units (ERUs), or 13,000 gallons/day. This is based upon a level of service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. County water lines do not currently extend to the site. However, county LDRs require the developer to connect to the county water system at the time of development. When the subject property connects to county lines, it will be serviced by the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Since that plant currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 21100,000 gallons/day, the plant can accommodate the additional demand generated by the most intense use allowed under the proposed zoning. When the North County Reverse Osmosis Plant is complete, it will serve the subject property. This plant, which is currently being designed, will have a capacity of approximately 2,000,000 gallons/day and will be able to accommodate the additional demand generated by the proposed amendment. - Wastewater The site is within the urban service area; however, wastewater lines do not extend to the site at this time. County LDRs require the developer to connect to the county wastewater system at the time of development. When the subject property connects to county lines, it will be serviced by _ the Central County Wastewater Treatment Plant (Gifford). Based upon the most intense use allowed under the proposed zoning district, development of the property will have a wastewater generation rate of approximately 52 Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs), or 13,000 gallons/day. This is based upon the level of service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. The Central County Wastewater Treatment Plant currently has a remaining capacity of more than 400,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional wastewater generated by the proposed rezoning. - Solid Waste Solid waste _service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. The county's adopted level of service standard for landfill capacity is 2.37 cubic yards/person/ year. With the county's average of approximate1y;Z:3 persons/unit, a 52 unit residential development would be anticipated to house approximately 120 people (2.3 X 52). For the subject request to meet the county's adopted level of service standard of 2.37 cubic yards/person/year, the landfill must have enough capacity to accommodate approximately 285 (120 X 2.37) cubic yards/year. A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the availability of more than 895,000 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 2 year capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on the analysis, staff determined that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed zoning district. - Drainage All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations which require on-site retention, preservation of floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations. In addition, development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance. Since the site is located within the M-1 Drainage Basin and the Indian River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD), development on the property will be prohibited from discharging any runoff in excess of 2 inches in a 24 hour period, which is the approved IRFWCD discharge rate. In this case, the minimum floor elevation level of service standards do not apply, since the property does not lie within a floodplain. However, both the on-site retention and discharge standards apply. With the most intense use of this site under the DECEMBER 5, 1995 23 BOOK 96 PnE 719
