Solid Waste
<br />Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. The
<br />county's adopted level of service standard for landfill capacity is 1.97 cubic yards/person/ year. With
<br />the county's average of approximately 2.3 persons/unit, a 301 unit residential development would
<br />be anticipated to house approximately 692 people (2.3 X 301). For the subject request to nzeet the
<br />county's adopted level of service standard of 1.97 cubic yards/person/year, the landfill must have
<br />enough capacity to accommodate approximately 1,364 (692 X 1.97) cubic yards/year.
<br />A review, of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the
<br />availability of more than 800,000 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 4 year
<br />capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on the analysis, staff
<br />determined that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site
<br />under the proposed zoning district.
<br />Stormwater Management
<br />All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations which require
<br />on-site retention, preservation of floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations. In
<br />addition, development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater
<br />Management Ordinance. Since the site is located within the NIA Drainage Basin and the Indian
<br />River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD), development on the property will be prohibited from
<br />discharging any runoff in excess of 2 inches in a 24 hour period, which is the approved IRFWCD
<br />discharge rate.
<br />In this case, the minimum floor elevation level of service standards do not apply, since the property
<br />does not lie within a floodplain. However, both the on-site retention and discharge standards apply.
<br />With the most intense use of this site under the proposed amendment, the maximum area of
<br />impervious surface would be approximately 30.13 acres. The maximum runoff volume, based on
<br />that amount of impervious surface and the 25 year/24 hour design storm, and given the IRFWCD
<br />2 inch discharge requirement, would be approximately 1,351,000 cubic feet. In order to maintain
<br />the county's adopted level of service, the applicant would be required to retain approximately
<br />986,000 cubic feet of runoff on-site. With the soil characteristics of the subject property, it is
<br />estimated that the pre -development peak runoff rate is 94.61 cubic feet/second.
<br />Based upon the County Engineering Division's analysis, the drainage level of service standard would
<br />be met by limiting off-site discharge to the IRFWCD's maximum discharge rate of 2 inches in 24
<br />hours, and requiring retention of the 986,000 cubic feet of runoff for the most intense use of the
<br />property.
<br />As with all development, a more detailed drainage review will be conducted during the development
<br />approval process.
<br />Recreation
<br />A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand that would result from the most
<br />intense development that could occur on the subject property under the proposed zoning district
<br />indicates that the adopted level of service would be maintained. The following table illustrates the
<br />additional park demand associated with the proposed development of the property and the existing
<br />surplus park acreage.
