The purpose of the Infrastructure Element is to ensure the availability of wastewater, solid <br />waste, drainage, and potable water facilities to meet the existing and projected demands within the County. This Element <br />establishes level of service standards and aims to effectively manage growth and maintain environmental quality while <br />providing safe and adequate facilities for residents and visitors. <br />A summary of the changes that are proposed for the Natural Groundwater Sub-Element are as follows. <br />◊ Reframe GOPs such as “there will be no…” to “The County will take measures to protect….” To provide the County <br />a level of flexibility without compromising the need <br />◊ Confirm regulatory authority as appropriate, such as the ability of the County to regulate the location of septic <br />systems and permit stormwater management structures directly <br />◊ Promote anti-urban sprawl land use practices, such as clustered development and agrihoods, consistent with other <br />Goals, Objectives and Policies <br />These recommended changes are important to improve this Element which protects water quality. <br />Florida Statute Reference: Chapter 163.3177(6)(c) <br />PAGE 51
