be anticipated to house approximately 630 people (2.3 X 274). For the subject request to meet the county's adopted level of service standard of 1.97 -cubic yards/person/year, the landfill must have enough capacity to accommodate approximately 1,241 (630 X 1.97) cubic yards/year. A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the availability of more than 800,000 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 2 year capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on the analysis, staff detennmed that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed zoning, district. Stounwater Manakzement All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stoimwater regulations which require on-site retention, preservation of floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations In addition, development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stounwater Management Ordinance. Any development on the subject property will be prohibited from discharging any runoff in excess of the pre -development rate. In this case, the minimum floor elevation level of service standard does not apply, since the property does not lie within a floodplain. On-site retention and discharge standards, however, do apply to this request. With the most intense use of this site, the maximum area of impervious surface under the proposed zoning classification will be approximately 24 acres. The estimated nmoff volume, based on that amount of impervious surface and the 25 year/24 hour design stoin, will be approximately 982 338 cubic feet. In order to maintain the county's adopted level of service, the applicant will be required to retain approximately 403,161 cubic feet of runoff on-site. With the soil characteristics of the subject property, it is estimated that the pre -development peak runoff rate is 74.089 cubic feet/second. Based upon staff's analysis, the drainage level of service standards will be met by limiting off-site discharge to its pre -development peak =off rate of 74.089 cubic feet/second and requiring retention of 403,161 cubic feet of runoff for the most intense use of the property. As with all development, a more detailed review will be conducted during the development approval process. Recreation A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand that would result from the most intense development that could occur on the property under the proposed zoning district indicates that the adopted levels of service would be maintained. The following table illustrates the additional park demand associated with the proposed development of the property and the existing surplus park acreage.
