Title
8550 Jungle Trail Waiver Request to Floodplain Cut and Fill Balance Requirements, Indian River County Project No. 96010145
Recommended Action
The applicant has provided a competent engineering study, that the development project, as designed, will meet all other requirements of the stormwater management and flood protection chapter and based on the applicant’s study, they will not create a material adverse impact on flood protection on other lands in the estuarine environment. In consideration of this, the Board of County Commissioners may, in its discretion, grant a waiver from the provisions of 930.07(2)(i)1.a. Upon the board of county commissioners affirming that a waiver shall be granted from the provisions of LDR Section 930.07(2)(i), staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the 100 Year floodplain waiver and then approve the 10 Year floodplain waiver with the expiration of the waiver to coincide with the Type C permits. Type C permits are codified to be granted for 6 months with an allowance for a 6-month extension. The waiver will be granted from the date of approval and transferred to the associated approved Building Permit upon its issuance. The waiver will be active as long as the Building Permit remains valid.
