DATE: January 21. 2002 CONSENT AGENDA DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Helmet House Construction Corp. has submitted a building permit application for a single family residence on the subject properly 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 an AE special flood hazard zone, base flood elevation 6.0 ft N.G.V.D. The ten year flood elevation is 3.0 feet N.G.V.D. The proposed displacement of the floodplain below 4.0 feet for which the waiver is requested is 560 cubic yards as indicated in the attached letter from the applicant's engineer dated January 9, 2002. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The project meets the cut and till balance waiver criteria proposed 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 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 not submitted an alternative grading plan that satisfied the cut and fill balance requirement without needing the waiver. The applicant is requesting the waiver so he will not be required to construct an on site retention area if the waiver is granted. Alternative No. 1 Grant the cut and fill balance waiver based on the criteria of Section 930.07(2)(d)1. Alternative No. 2 Deny the cut and fill waiver. Require an on site retention area be provided to compensate for the proposed floodplain displacement. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of Alternative No. 1 ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously granted the cut and fill balance waiver based on the criteria of Section 930.07(2)(d)1, as recommended by staff FEBRUARY 5, 2002 -24- !t
