Frank Ferquson, 336 Shangri-La Circle, asked if the City will do away with retention ponds. He asked if they'd considered putting storm drains in a pipe and taking it to the processing plant and purifying the water to go back to the residents or back to the Indian River. Mr. Johnson replied the cost would be excessive and he doesn't think St. Johns would permit percolation ponds. He reviewed the stormwater utility procedures of ditch cleaning and building retention areas. He pointed out they'll use the sewer water for irrigation. He said they'll inspect sewer lines to prevent inflow infiltration, and in the next 5 to 10 years may see on site retention on single family residential homes where they have to hold 1" of rain for 1 hour. He spoke briefly on a solution to the stormwater problem on Riverside Drive. Mr. Ferguson stated the problem in Shangri-La is they have a lake for retention but the pipes are so far in the ground it can't work. He said they were told the price they paid for their lots included improvements and they don1t feel they should be liable for anything. Mr. Johnson explained they'll have mitigation for what they have done and they apply to the City. He added that one of the problems is FEC but they'll look at all the problems with the system. Arthur Schillinq, Pyramid Park, asked how the retention of stormwater will affect existing systems on a private piece of property. Mr. Johnson replied they'll have to take the discharge off the property if they don't have sufficient retention, and it has to be retained somewhere before it gets to the river. He said they want a plan that will function for everyone, especially areas along Riverside Drive, Shangri-La, Florida Shores, and Old County Road. Mr. Schilling expressed interest in discussing it further when they get a plan. Mr. Johnson pointed out new developments will have to meet certain standards before built. Capital Improvements - Ben Vasquez asked the status of the CIP. Mr. Johnson explained this isn't related to the capital improvements program, but to the capital improvements element which covers the entire City and future needs and it's not a specific project. Coastal Manaqement - Mr. Johnson explained this covers the entire City because of the Florida laws. There were no comments from the audience. Mr. Johnson stated there will be another public hearing when the Plan comes back for final adoption and there will be copies in City Hall and the Library for review.
