The project is located on the west side of the <br />State Road A -1-A, across from Ocean Oaks and just north of Round Island Park. The site is located <br />in special flood hazard area Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 5 feet N.G.V.D. The ten-year <br />still water elevation is 2 7 feet The code requires capacity for any volume of the base flood that <br />would be displaced by the higher of the 10 -year still water elevation or 4.0 feet. The proposed <br />displacement of the floodplain below 4 0 feet for which the waiver is requested is 6,403 cubic yards <br />as indicated in the attached letter from the applicant's engineer dated January 10, 2002. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND A_AALYSIS <br />The project meets the cut and fill balance waiver criteria provided in Section 930.07(2)(d)1 of being <br />situated in an estuarine environment within the 100 year floodplain along the Indian River and in <br />staff's opinion it appears that all other Stoiinwater Management and Flood Protection Ordinance <br />requirements can be met without adverse impact on other lands in the estuarine environment. <br />A separate request for a Land Development Permit has been received by the Public Works <br />Department. <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />Approve the cut and fill balance waiver request. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />Deny the waiver request and require re -design to accomplish an on-site balance of cut and <br />fill. <br />July 9, 2002 <br />18 <br />
