Mastroserio Engineering, Inc.
LDC 2.12.8 Current boundary and topographic survey
CODE states: Current boundary and topographic survey (one foot contour intervals extending 100 feet beyond the project boundary) based upon accepted vertical datum. Surveys will be less than 12 months old and accurately reflect current site conditions, meeting standards set forth in Ch. 5J-17 FAC. Alternate topographic data may be accepted if pre-approved by the Marion County Land Surveyor.
APPLICANT requests a waiver not to require an updated topographic survey for the development. No changes have been made to the site.
LDC 6.12.12.D Sidewalks
CODE states: At the discretion of the Development Review Committee, in lieu of construction along external streets, the developer may pay a sidewalk fee to the County in an amount necessary to complete construction. This amount shall be determined by the project engineer and approved by the County with payment required prior to final plan approval. The County may use these funds toward the construction of sidewalks throughout the County based on priorities established by the Board.
APPLICANT requests to pay fee in lieu of sidewalks on N. US Hwy 441 frontage. Fee is $8,475.00.
LDC 6.13.2.B(6) Freeboard
CODE states: A minimum freeboard of six inches shall be provided for all retention/detention areas.
APPLICANT requests a waiver to the freeboard requirement. The project is located in a flood prone area that covers both this and the adjacent property. The post-development stage EL is less than the pre-development stage EL. There is a net improvement in the post condition.
LDC 6.13.4.D(1)(2) Recovery
CODE states: For retention/detention areas not able to recover the total required volume within 14 days, the stormwater facility volume shall be increased to retain an additional volume of the post minus pre difference in runoff for the 25-year 24-hour design storm when in an open basin or for the post minus pre difference in runoff for the 100-year 24-hour design storm when in a closed basin. The control elevation for retaining this volume shall be no greater than the top of constructed stormwater facility or the easement limits of a natural facility. Credit for the recovered volume through the 14-day duration may be considered to meet this requirement.
APPLICANT request - The pre-development condition does not recover in 14 days. The post recovers to the same or less than the pre-condition EL. Refer to the calculations. We have improved the overall watershed as compared to the pre-condition.
LDC 6.8.6.K (2) Buffers
CODE states: B-Type buffer shall consist of a 20-foot wide landscape strip with a buffer wall. The buffer shall contain at least two shade trees and three accent/ornamental trees for every 100 lineal feet or fractional part thereof. Shrubs and groundcovers, excluding turfgrass, shall comprise at least 50 percent of the required buffer.
APPLICANT request waiver to use a fence in lieu of a wall in the Type B Buffer on the south parcel boundary. Also, requesting to reduce the buffer from 20 feet to 10 feet for encroachment of drive aisle pavement.
6.8.8. Building landscaping
CODE states: A. Landscape plantings shall be provided along the public view sides of all proposed structures to reduce the monotony of large blank walls, reduce heat gain and glare, and enhance the aesthetic appearance of the building. B. Landscape areas shall be provided adjacent to or within 25 feet from the building walls and shall extend along 60 percent of the total length of the wall, excluding those areas required for access to the building. C. Landscape areas shall be a minimum of five feet wide allowing for a minimum distance of two feet from the façade to the innermost plants. D. Large trees shall not be located within 20 feet of a building. Accent/ornamental trees shall be located sufficiently to allow for healthy growth and to minimize the need for pruning.
APPLICANT requests a waiver to increase the Type C buffer landscaping to achieve the intent of this code. The Type 'C' buffer extends the length of the R.O.W and provides sufficient buffering for the building from the public R.O.W.
