Resolution 463-2010RESOLUTION NO. 463 - 2010 A RESOLUTION BY THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APPROVING THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT OF MONROE COUNTY PUBLIC FACILITIES CAPACITY 2010 AS SUBMITTED BY THE MONROE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES WHEREAS, the annual assessment of public facilities capacity is mandated by Chapter 114 of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations: 1. Section 114 -2, Adequate Facilities and Development Review Procedures, contains two major sets of requirements: the minimum service standards for the four primary public facilities (roads, solid waste, potable water, schools), and an annual assessment process to determine the available capacity of these public facilities. Section 114 -2 includes an equitable procedure for issuing permits when the rate of growth is likely to outpace the current capacity of these public facilities; and 2. Section 114 -2(b)3 requires the Director of Planning to prepare an annual report to the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners on the capacity of available public facilities; and 3. Section 114- 2(b)(4) requires the Monroe County Board of County Commission to consider this report and approve its findings either with or without modifications. The County Commission cannot act to increase development capacity beyond that demonstrated in this report without making specific findings of fact as to the reasons for the increase, and identifying the source of funds to be used to pay for the additional capacity; and WHEREAS, once approved by the Monroe County Board of County Commission, the Public Facilities Capacity Assessment Report becomes the official assessment of public facilities upon which development approvals will be based for the next year; and WHEREAS, the Monroe County Land Development Regulations requires the Board of County Commissioners to adopt an annual assessment of public facilities capacity for unincorporated Monroe County. WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners makes the following findings of facts: 1. The 2009 annual assessment is used to evaluate the existing level of services for roads, solid waste, potable water, and educational facilities; and Page 1 of 3 2. The 2010 Public Facilities Capacity Report becomes the official assessment of public facilities upon which development approvals will be reviewed and approved for the upcoming year; and 3. Section 114 -2 of the Land Development Regulations provides the minimum standards for level of service for roads, solid waste, potable water and educational facilities; and 4. Section 114 -2 of the Land Development Regulations requires the annual assessment of public facilities capacity to clearly state those portions of unincorporated Monroe County with inadequate or marginally adequate public facilities; and 5. The 2009 annual assessment finds that sufficient capacity exists for solid waste, potable water, and educational facilities to meet anticipated growth through 2011; and 6. The capacity assessment of transportation facilities is based on the 2009 US -1 Travel Time and Delay Study prepared by URS, the County's transportation consultant; and 7. U. S. 1 segments with reserve speeds of less than or equal to 3 mph ( "marginally adequate ") should be given particular attention when approving development applications; and 8. Compared to the 2008 study results, there is level of service changes to eight segments — three (3) resulted in positive level of service changes while five (5) resulted in negative level of service changes; The Boca Chica segment experienced an increase in LOS from B to A. Big Coppitt segment experienced a decrease from C to D. Cudjoe segment experienced a decrease in LOS from A to B. Big Pine segment experienced an increase in LOS from D to C. The Duck and Long segments experienced a decrease in LOS from B to C. Plantation segment experienced a decrease from B to C. The Cross Key segment experienced an increase from LOS E to A. Construction of the high level fixed bridge has been completed; and 9. Last year, Sugarloaf, Big Pine, Tea Table and Cross Key segments were below the LOS threshold. This year Big Coppitt, Sugarloaf and Tea Table Segments are below the LOS threshold. These segments do not have any planned improvements to curtail the travel speed reductions. All of these segments have reserve volume or reserve capacities within the 5% allocation, except for Big Coppitt. However, there is on going construction along this segment and travel speeds are expected to improve after construction is complete; and 10. In March 2009, South Florida Water Management District approved the FKAA's modification of WUP 13- 00005 -5 -W for a 20 -year allocation from the Biscayne and Florida Aquifers; and Page 2 of 3 11. The water use permit (WUP) provides an annual allocation of 8,751 million gallons or 23.98 MGD. The average daily water demand is expected to increase to 16.28 MGD due to water shortages and droughts; and 12. The planned construction of the new water supply wells and Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment facility will provide an additional capacity of 6.0 MGD. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA: The annual Assessment of Public Facilities Capacity for 2010 is approved. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, at a regular meeting held on the 15 h day of December, 2010.
