• <br />• <br />areas. Eighteen percent of the development is in lakes and they do not get full credit for <br />open space in the lakes. <br />Vice Chairman Stanbridge pointed out that is the penalty for building in a flood plain. <br />In response to Chairman Ginn concerning aeration of the stormwater pond, Mr. <br />Mosby responded that the design meets all the water quality requirements from St. Johns <br />River Water Management District and there will not be cattails growing on the banks. His <br />clients were present and Chairman Ginn indicated she would like to ask them the same <br />question. <br />There was a brief discussion about aeration and requirements of SJRWMD, and <br />Community Development Director Robert M. Keating commented that the County <br />previously required littoral zones. Our regulations are now in accord with SJRWMD which <br />has the experts. <br />Mr. Mosby advised that what was learned about littoral zones is that they are rodent <br />hazards which is one of the reasons SJRWMD removed them from their requirements. <br />This remark created quite a reaction from the Commissioners that no one wants to do <br />maintenance in littoral zones. Vice Chairman Stanbridge thought it was unfortunate that <br />engineers do not always know how to design them. <br />John Green, of Smigiel Partners, 22 Hastings Lane, Boynton Beach, Florida, advised <br />that aeration of the lake has not been under consideration at this point, but they would be <br />amicable to looking into that if it becomes a requirement. The landscape architect is <br />designing some native plants that will go along the lake banks for visual enhancement, but <br />not a littoral zone. <br />There was a brief but lighthearted discussion about whether or not the lake would be <br />stocked and Commissioner Tippin volunteered to help. <br />March 20, 2001 <br />93 <br />BK H7PG565 <br />
