DISCUSSION:

The applicant has undergone four resubmittals and has met the requirements of the land development code and comprehensive plan for the City of Edgewater. At the June 11th, 2025 Planning and Zoning Board meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board granted the following variances:
Traffic
City staff sent the application to the Technical Review Committee, Mead and Hunt Engineers, Volusia County Traffic, Florida Department of Transportation, and Stanley Traffic Consultants. Based upon the trip generation from the proposed site, City staff have not required a transportation impact study, however staff note that FDOT has opined that a right hand deceleration lane may be required during FDOT permitting. 667 average daily trips, 38 AM peak hour trips, and 60 pm peak hour trips were produced in the transportation statement. All three of these thresholds were below their respective standards that would necessitate the requirement for a transportation impact study.
Stormwater
An exfiltration system has been designed with perforated pipes providing storage and volume. The exfiltration system has been designed to draw down like a dry pond for nutrient removal as well as conveyance of stormwater in larger events to the detention pond. The detention pond then outfalls into the FDOT right of way on US1 which has an outfall at the 18th street Canal.
