BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA: Section 1 Section 9.5-273,Stormwater Management, Monroe County Code, is hereby amended to read as follows: (a) Intent: It is the intent to establish guidE,lines and criteria for the safe management and disposal of stormwater runoff from developed areas which will minimize or eliminate any resultant adverse impacts on the surface water, ground water, and other natural resources of Monroe County. These procedure are intended to assist in protection the vital water resources of the Florida Keys including the reservoir of freshwat.er on Big Pine Key and the nearshore waters of both Florida Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. (b) Jurisdiction: The area subject shall be the unincorporated sections of Monroe County. However, because stormwater does not'~llow political boundaries, municipalities should, within 12 months of the effective date of this section, adopt and implement stormwater management ordinances reflective of the conditions in their corporate jurfsdictions. These ordinances should be in }compliance with the Monroe County Stormwater Management regulations. Whenever there is a conflict, the ~;tricter requirement will apply. (c) Applicability: All applications for a Monroe County building permit will be required to contain a stormwater management pl/in with the following exceptions: (1) Single family and duplex home~:, provided that Best Management Practices (BMPs) as determined by the pJ.anning director or his designee, are used. The Manual of Stormwat(lr Management Practices, which is compiled pursuant to section 10 of this regulation will provide information regarding acceptable forms of BMPs. 1 " AU E ~", ,'n'" 1/ -/I.. t , (2) Those developments, which because of size or other criteria, are required to obtain a general or individual surface water management permit from the South Florida Water Management District, including state, county, and city roadway improvement projects. (3) Maintenance work on existing mosquito drainage structures for public health and welfare purposes, provided that the activities do not increase peak discharge rate or pollution load. (4) Maintenance, alteration or improvement of an existing structure of site which will not change the designed peak discharge rate, volume pollution load of stormwater runoff from the site on which that structure is located. Placement of a new structure, (as defined in paragraph 6) which does not change the designed peak discharge rate, volume, or pollution load of stormwater runoff from the site, is also exempt. (5) Any development within an impJ'oved subdivision previous to the effective date of this section. (6) Emergencies requiring immediate action to prevent material harm or danger to persons when obtaining a permit is impractical and would cause undue hardship in protection of property from fire, violent storms, hurricanes, or other hazards. A report of the emergency action shall be made to the county administrator as soon as practicable. (7) Single family and duplex homes built on individual lots which are part of a larger subdivision, provided a stormwater management system, approved by the planning department, is in place. (d) General Criteria: (1) Water Management Areas Such areas shall be legally rf:served to and maintained by the operational entity and be dedicated on the plat, deed restrictions, or easements. Any change in the use of the property must comply with this regulation and any other requirements of the Florida Keys Comprehensive Plan and the Monroe County Code. Stormwater management areas shall be connected to a public road or other location from which operation and maintenance access is legally and physically available to the operational entity. (2) Environmental Impacts All surface water management plans will be reviewed by the staff to evaluate anticipated impacts of the proposed work on the environment of Monroe County. The following environmental features will be used by the staff in evaluating impacts: (a) Wetlands and isolated wetlands; (b) Waterbodies; (c) Intermittent (seasonally wet) ponds; (d) Mixed upland and wetland systems; (e) Pinelands; (f) Dunes/beach berms; (g) Hammock areas; (h) Uplands areas; (i) Preferred habitat of rar(~ and endangered plant and animal species. 2 (3) Legal Operational Entity Requirements An acceptable, responsible ent.ity which agrees to operate and maintain the surface water management system will be identified in the building permit application. The entity must be provided with sufficient ownership so that it has control over all water management facilities authorized. The following entities are acceptable: (a) Governmental agencies, or (b) Non-profit corporations, including homeowners associations, property owners associations, condominium owners associations or master associations, or (c) The property owner as permittee, or his successors, if the property is wholly-owned by said permittee and is intended to be so retained. The entity must provide legally binding written documentation that it will accept the operation and maintenance of all surface water management systems prior to approval. (4) Water Quality Considerations All new surface water management systems will be evaluated based on the ability of the system to prevent degradation of receiving waters and the ability to conform to state water quality standards established in chapter 17-3, F.A.C. Developments which plan to utilize Outstanding Florida Waters for discharge of stormwater will be given more detailed evaluation by the county staff. (5) Water Quantity Considerations All new stormwater management systems will be evaluated on the ability of the system to prevent flooding of on-site structures, adjacent properties, roads, and road right-of-ways based upon antecedent rainfall conditions. (e) Technical Criteria: (1) Water Quantity (a) Discharge: Off-site discharge is limited to amounts which will not cause adverse off-site impacts, These amounts are: (i) Historic discharges based on natural site drainage patterns, or (ii) Amounts determined in previous South Florida Water Management District or Monroe County permit actions. (b) Drainage and Flood Protection Criteria: If it is determined that flooding will occur off-site because of the proposed project construction, the surface water management system shall be designed using a 24 hour rainfall duration and 25-year return frequency in computing allowable off-site discharge 3 rate. Flood protection and floodplain encroachment standards shall be those established in Monroe County Code, section 9.5-293. If post-development conditions are such that a volume greater than the retention and/or detention volume required for stormwater management is already bei.~g retained on-site, that condition will be maintained. (2) Water Quality (a) Projects shall.be designed so that discharges will meet state water quality standards, as set: forth in chapter 17-3, F.A.C. (b) Retention/Detention Criteria: These criteria are based on the principle that the first flush of runoff contains the majority of the pollutants. The volume which needs to be retained or detained is dependent on the method of stormwater management and the land use. (i) Retention and/or detention in the overall system, including swales, canals, greenways, and similar waterways, shall be provided for one of the three following criteria or equivalent combinations thereof: 1 Wet detention volume shall be the runoff generated by the first inch of rainfall, or the total runoff of 2.5 inches times the percentage of imperviousness, whichever is greater. 2 Dry detention volume shall be equal to 75 percent of the volume computed for wet detention. 3 Retention volume shall be provided equal to 50 percent of the above amowlts computed for wet detention. Retention volume included in flood protection calculations requires a demonstration of guarantees of long-term operation and maintenance of system bleed-down ability. This must normally consist of proof of adequate soil percolation rates or an operations entity which specifically reserves funds for operations, maintenance and replacement. (ii) Commercial or industrial projects shall provide at least one- half inch of dry detention or retention pretreatment as part of the required retp.ntlon/detention. (iii)System with inlets in grassed areas will be credited with up to 20% inch of the required wet detention amount for the contributing areas. Full credit will be based on a ratio of 10:1 impervious aren runoff to previous area with proportional credit granted for greater ratios. Grassed area must be permanently protect(~d from vehicular use and structural encroachment. (iv) Projects having greater than 40% impervious area which discharge directly to sensitive receiving water shall provide dry detention or retention pretreatment equal to 50% of the total required depending on the arrangement of on-site facilities. Sensitive receiving waters are defined as: 4 (1) Class I or Class II waters; (2) Class III, Outstanding Florida Waters; (3) Canals connecting with these waters. (v) Water surfaces can be deducted from site areas for water quality pervious/impervious calculations. (c) Master Drainage Plan for Subdivisions: Projects to be subdivided for sale are required to have installed by the permittee, as a minimum, a stormwater management system which provides for a master stormwater collection and conveyance system to interconnect the retention/detention system with the outfall, with access points to the system available to each individual lot or tract. The system shall be sized to limit discharge under design conditions to the allowable discharge. Projects permitted in such a manner may require deed restrictions which identify to lot or tract purchasers the amount of additional on-site stormwater management necessary to provide flood protection for specific design events and any additional retention/detention required for water quality purposes. (3) Construction Considerations (a) Discharge Structures (i) All design discharges from the site shall be made through and controlled by structural discharge facilities. Earth berms shall be used only to disperse or collect sheet flows from or to ditches, swales, or other water channels. served by discharge structures. (ii) Discharge structures shall be constructed so that they are stationary. (iii)Discharge structures should include gratings for safety and maintenance purposes. Removal of trash is mandatory if the stormwater management system discharges into surface waters and/or Outstanding Florida Waters. (iv) Discharge structure~ shall include systems which would allow discharge from other than the top or the bottom of the water column and shall include a cleanable jump area for the sediment removal. Discharge structures from areas with greater than 50 percent impervious area or from systems with inlets in paved areas shall include a baffle. skimmer, or other mechanism suitable for preventing oil and grease from discharging to and/or from retention/detention areas. (v) Direct discharges. such as through culverts. storm drains, or weir structures, will normally be allowed to receiving waters which by virtue'of their large capacity and configuration, are easily able to absorb concentrated discharges. Such receiving waters might include existing storm sewer systems and man-made ditches. canals, the bay. channels, and the ocean. (vi) Indirect discharges, such as overflow and preader swales, are required where the receiving water or its adjacent supporting ecosystem might be degraded by a direct discharge. The discharge structure would therefore discharge into the overflow, spreader swale, or other channel. which in turn would release the water to the actual receiving water. Such receiving waters might include marshes, wetlands. salt marshes and land naturally receiving overland sheetflow. (b) Dry Retention/Detention Areas (not applicable to natural or mitigation wetland areas;: 5 (i) Dry retention/detention areas shall allow for the return of the groundwater level in the area to the control elevation. (ii) On-site mosquito control ditches or other appropriate features for such purpose, shall be incorporated into the design of dry retention/detention areas. (iii)The design of dry retention/detention areas shall incorporate considerations for regular maintenance and vegetation harvesting procedures. ( c) Wet ( i) Retention/Detention ~reas: Dimensional criteria (as measured at or from the control elevation). (1) Depth - A minimum of 20 percent of the area shallower than 6 feet is required; (2) Side slopes - for purposes of public safety. water quality enhancement and maintenance, all wet retention/detention areas should have side slopes no steeper than 4:1 (horizontal:vertical) out to a depth of two feet below the control elevation, or an equivalent substitute. Side slopes should be top soiled, nurtured or planted from 2 feet below to 1 foot above control elevation to promote vegetation growth. Littoral zone vegetation growth survival shall be a condition for operation permit issuance. (ii) Support Facility Design Criteria Perimeter maintenance and operation easements of 10 feet (minimum preferable) width at slopes no steeper than 4:1 (horizontal:vertical) should be provided beyond the control elevation water line. Control elevations must be set so as not to cause flooding in roadways and protect road subgrades. (d) Impervious areas: Runoff shall be discharge.d from impervious surfaces through retention areas, detention devices, filtering and cleansing devices. and/or subjected to some type of Best Management Practice (BMP) prior to discharge from the project site. For projects which include substantial paved areas. such as shopping centers, large highway intersections with frequently shopped traffic. and high density developments, provisions shall be made for the removal of oil, grease, and sediment from stormwater prior to discharge into the receiving waters or watercourse. (e) Stagnant water conditions: Configurations which create'stagnant water conditions shall not be allowed. (f) Stormwater Management Pl~ns: It is the responsibility of the applicant to include in the stormwater management plEin for the development. sufficient information for the planning director to evaluate the environmental and stormwater discharge characteristics of the affected areas, the potential and predicted impacts of the proposed activity on community waters, and thfl effectiveness and acceptability of those measures proposed by the applicant for reducing adverse impacts. The stormwater management plan shall contain maps, charts, graphs, tables, photographs, narlative descriptions, calculations, explanations, and citations to supporting references, and any additional information deemed necessary by the planning director. 6 (g) Manual of Stormwater Management Practices: (1) The planning department staff shall compile a manual of stormwater management practices for the guidance of persons preparing stormwatel' management plans and designing or operating stormwater management systems by the effective date of these regulations. The manual shall be the primary implementation tool and shall be updated periodically to reflect the most current and effective practices. This manual shall be made available to the public. (2) The manual shall include guidance and specifications for the preparation of stormwater management plans. Acceptable techniques for obtaining, calculating. and presenting the information required in the stormwater management plans shall be described. (3) The manual shall include guidance for acceptable best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater management systems for single family and duplex homes. It shall address the condition that improvements to the land may result in water improvement, thereby creating surface water over land that would otherwise not be wetland. (4) The manual shall include guidance in the selection of environmentally sound practices for the management of stormwater and the control of erosion and sedimentation. development and use of techniques which emphasize the use natural systems shall be encouraged. The of (5) The manual shall also establish minimum specifications for the construction of stormwater management facilities. Construction specification shall be established in accordance with sound engineering practices. (6) The planning departolent shall submit the manual and subsequent revisions of it to the board for review and approval. The annual may also be submitted for review to the Florida Department of Enviro:amental Regulation's Non-point Source Management Section in Tallahassee and the South Florida Water Management District. (7) Adherence to these regulations shall be based on the guidelines outlined i~ the manual. (h) Administration: (1) Permit Application I>rocedures The stormwater management plan shall be submitted as part of an application for development approval outlined in article 3 of the Monroe County Code, unless otherwise herein exempted. All conditions, approvals, and fees shall apply. (2) Plan Adherence The applicant shall be required to adhere to the plan as approved and permitted. Any changes or amendments to the individual stormwater management plan must be approved by the planning department prior to construction. 7 (i) Maintenance and Inspecticn: (1) The installed system(s) required by these regulations shall be maintained by the owner or approved operating entity. except that the county may select certain systems for county maintenance. The selection of critical areas and/or structures to be maintained by the county shall be recommended to the board by the planning director. All areas and/or structures to be maintained by the county must be dedicated to the county by plat or separate instrument and accepted by the board. The system(s) to be maintained by the owner or approved operating entity shall have adequate access and easements to permit the county right of entry to inspect and. if necessary. to take corrective action should the owner fail to maintain the system(s) to be maintained by him. The planning director shall give such owner written notice of the nature of the corrective action necessary. Should the owner fail. within thirty (30) days from the date of the notice. to take corrective action, the board may take the necessary corrective action and place a lien on the property of the owner to recover the costs thereof. (2) The applicant shall arrange with the planning director for scheduling the following inspections (these inspections may be scheduled along with other required inspections): (a) Erosion and Sediment Control Inspection - As necessary during and after construction to ensure effective control of erosion and sedimentation. Control measures shall be installed and stabilized between any waters and any areas cleared prior to land clearing. (b) Bury Inspections - Prior to the burial of any underground drainage structure. (c) Final Inspection - When all work. including installation of all stormwater management system facilities, has been completed. The enforcement officer who inspects the work shall either approve it or notify the applicant in writing in what respects there has been a fai.lure to comply with the requirements of the approved permi.t. Any portion of the work which does not comply shall be corrected by the permittee within a time frame deemed reasonable by the planning director depending on the time needed to correct the violation and the effect of the violation on water and habitat quality, or the applicant will be subject to the penalty provisions of section (j). There shall be a fee for inspections as established by the board. (j) Enforcement and Penalties: (1) Enforcement The planning director shall be the enforcement officials. If the enforcement official determines that the project is not being carried out in accordance with the approved plan or if any project subject to these regulations is being carried out without a permit he/she is authorized to: 8 (a) Issue written notice to the applicant that specifies the nature and location of the alleged noncompliance and includes a description of the remedial actions necessary to bring the project into compliance. (b) Issue stop-work orders directing the applicant or persons in possession to cease and desist all or any portion of the work which violates the provisions of these regulations, until the remedial work is completed. The applicant shall then bring the project into compliance or be subject to denial of certificate of occupancy for the project. (c) Any order issued pursuant to subparagraphs (a) or (b) above shall become final unless the person or persons named therein requests. in writing by certified mail, a hearing before the planning commission no later than ten (10) working days after the date such order is served. Failure to act in accordance with the order after receipt of written notice shall be grounds for revocation of all Monroe County permits issued for that project which would be affected by or would affect the stormwater management system. (2) Penalties Any person who violntes or causes to be violated any provision of these regulations or permits any such violation or fails to comply with any of the requirements hereof shall be punished by a fine equivalent to the cost of having compiled with the regulations. Each calendar day upon which such violation occurs shall constitute a separate offense.

Special Fees Justification of Fee Changes 1. Impact Fees The present transportation impact fees are one half of those calculated in 1985 at the time of the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. At that time the fees were calculated on the basis of anticipated infrastructure needs through 2005, based on calculated rates of growth. This existing fee structure was pro- duced by planning and engineering consultants to the County and accepted by the Board of County Commission- ers. However, in 1986 witn the adoption of the plan the fees were dropped to their present level. Since 1985, the County's infrastructur~ needs have increased, antici- pated slowing of growth has not occurred and inflation amounting to approximately 12-15% in the consumer price index is a fact. Therefore, the Growth Management Divi- sion recommends the new transportation impact fees pro- posed below: E Xa.HS ,,.. B II-II .... "'1 Single Family Multi-Family, per unit Mobile Home Hotel, per unit Motel, per unit Medical Office, per 1000 s.f. Banking, per 1000 s.f. Other Offices, per 1000 s.f. Warehouses, per 1000 s.f. General Industrial, per 1000 s.f. Retail, under 50,000 s.f. Retail, 50,000 to 99,999 s.f. Retail, 100,000 to 249,999 s.f. Retail 250,000 s.f.+ Recreational campground, per space Marina, per berth RV Park, per space Existing Proposed $1610 $1415 $ 638 $1744 $1744 $2315 $3716 $1822 $ 568 $ 594 $1235 $ 974 $1874 $1357 $1699 $ 715 $1732 $2737 $2406 $1085 $2965 $2965 $3935 $6317 $3098 $ 965 $1010 $2099 $1655 $3186 $2307 $2889 $1215 $2945 The implication of this change is that if the rate of growth remains the same, the funds forthcoming to the transportation trust fund would increase by approximately 70%. The other impact fee categories are recommended to be in- creased by 15% to account for inflation. This would bring the total impact fee for a single-family home to approximately $3,370.41, or a total increase of 38%. All other uses would see an increase in total impact fee of approximately the same 38%, except for those uses which are charged only three or four of the impact fees. These include non-residential uses which are not charged park or library fees. Please see attached table for exact dollar increases. 2. Buildinq Permit Fees Building permit fees were com- pared to fees in seven other jurisdictions. The general results are: a. Building Permit Fees for roofs in Monroe County are higher then average. b. Demolition and blasting fees are very low in Monroe County. c. Monroe County charges no permit fees for landscape improvements or inspections, while other Counties do. d. Permit Fees for moving buildings are low compared to other Counties. The Building Department is now compiling all data comparative into a spread sheet format, and will recommend specific changes, prior to budget year closure, on or about July 1, 1989. 3. Planning Permit Fees The Growth Management Division has reviewed the man hours and direct expenses involved in the permitting activities the Division provides. It is recommended that the following fees be changed to reflect the real time invested by staff, yet maintain a "reasonable" permit fee, which would allow the average citizen to participate in the permitting process. Boundary Determination Alcoholic Beverage Applications Map Amendments Text Amendments Major Conditional Use Conceptual Project Review Before Planning Commission Occupational License Review Home Occupational License Review Final Site Plan Preliminary Plat + $25 per lot Final Plat + $10 per lot Plat Engineering Review Fee Lot Line Adjustment/Vacation All other fees remain the same Existing $ 100.00 $ 350.00 $ 500.00 $ 500.00 $1000.00 $ - 0 - $ - 0 - $ - 0 - $ - 0 - $ - 0 - $ - 0 - $ - 0 - $ - 0 - Proposed $ 250.00 $ 500.00 $ 750.00 $ 750.00 $1500.00 $ 500.00 $ 75.00 $ 125.00 $ 500.00 $1000.00 $ 750.00 $ 500.00' $ 150.00 4.

Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Service Impact Fees. The Division will support the expenditure of funds to direct the existing consultant to determin~ the proper level of impact fee prior to finalization of the budget. We would like to discuss theses fee changes with the Board at their April 11 budget workshop and obtain approval for the in- creased fees to be effective not la~er than October 1, 1989.
