According to the approved TLA, the existing level of service on impacted roadways would not be lowered by the traffic generated by development of 107 single-family units on the subject property. Water With the proposed zoning, the subject property could accommodate 107 residential units, resulting in water consumption at a rate of 107 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 26,750 gallons/day. This is based upon a level of service of 250 gallons/ERU/day. Development on the subject property would be served by the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant, which currently has sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional demand generated by the proposed rezoning. Wastewater Based upon the most intense use allowed under the proposed zoning, development of the property will have a wastewater generation rate of approximately 107 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 26,750 gallons/day. This is based upon the level of service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day County wastewater service is available to the site from the Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, which currently has sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional wastewater generated by the subject request. Solid Waste Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. The county's adopted level of service standard for Landfill capacity is 1.97 cubic yards/person/year. With the county's average of approximately 2.3 persons/unit, a 107 unit residential development would be anticipated to house approximately 246 people (2.3 X 107). 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 484.8 (246 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 determined that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed zomng district. Stormwater Management All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater 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 Stormwater Management Ordinance. Since the site is located within the M-1 Drainage Basin and the Indian River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD), development on the property will be prohibited from discharging any runoff in excess of two inches in a twenty-four hour period, which is the approved IRFWCD discharge rate. In this case, the minimum floor elevation level of service standards do not apply, since the property does not lie within a floodplain. However, both the on-site retention and discharge standards apply. Based upon staff's analysis, the stormwater management level of service standard would be met by limiting off-site discharge to the IRFWCD's maximum discharge rate of two inches in twenty-four hours, and requiring retention of 341,048 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. JULY 16, 2002
