Indian River Medical Center received site plan approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 10, 1996. The project is located at 625 37th Street. The site is located in special flood hazard area Zone AE with base flood elevation of 7.0 ft. N.G.V.D. The ten year stillwater elevation is 4.0 ft. The proposed displacement of the floodplain below 4.0 ft. for which the waiver is requested is 10,164 cubic yards as indicated in the attached letter from the applicant's engineer dated September 27, 1996. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The project meets the cut and fill balance waiver criteria provided in Section 930.07(2)(d)1. of being situated in an estuarine environment within the 100 year floodplain along the Indian River and in staff s 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. Alternative No. 1 Approve the cut and fill balance waiver request. Alternative No. 2 Deny the waiver request and require re -design to accomplish an on-site balance of cut and fill. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Alternative No. 1. 37 November 5, 1996 BOOK 90 F -m 554
