INTRODUCTION
This Comprehensive Plan covers the entire incorporated area of the City
of Edgewater, Florida. The inventory and analysis also includes significant
aspects of the surrounding area which may affect the city. Edgewater is
located in south coastal Volusia County; however, the city does not extend to
. the Atlantic Ocean, as the Intracoastal Waterway serves as the city's eastern-
most boundary. The city is located approximately 20 miles south of Daytona
• Beach and 50 miles east of Orlando. Edgewater's northern boundary is
coterminous with the southern boundary of the City of New Smyrna Beach.
Purpose =
The City of Edgewater has prepared this Comprehensive Plan so that it
may better provide for the needs of the city's residents in an efficient manner.
All land use regulations and capital investments made by the city shall be
consistent with this plan. The Comprehensive Plan, when properly
implemented, will allow the city to affect and control its growth. Local citizens
can use the plan to aid them in making their private investments.
` This plan is prepared in accordance with the Florida Local Government
Comprehensive Planning Act.Accordingly,this document includes information
on such topics as land use, housing, transportation, governmental services,
and natural resources. Following a review of existing resources and
conditions, local developmental policies were established. The preparation of
the future land use plan was the final step in producing this Comprehensive
Plan.
Policy Implementation -
The following Growth Management Chapter when adopted by the City of
Edgewater will form a legal basis from which growth and development can be
controlled. This policy plan along with the land use map and other supporting
data will substantiate any future recommendations made by the local planning
agency and will do much to provide for the amenities provided by sound
planning and foster citizen support.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Comprehensive Plan is to aid the city officials in
determining and providing for the growth of Edgewater.This first chapter will
present the philosophy, goals, objectives, and policies of the city. As such, all
decisions of the city and this Comprehensive Plan are based on these
principles.
Growth Management Philosophy
• The desired kind, rate, and extent of growth shall be primarily
determined by the carrying capacity of the city's natural and man-made
systems. Carrying capacity shall be determined by the availability of natural
resources such as air,soil,water,and space, and may be further determined by
available energy, waste disposal, other essential services, and the financial
resources of the city to provide these services.
Population growth and technology place stress on the city's resources.
The distribution, rate, and type'of growth affect the amount of stress. While
technically there may be no limit to the amount of growth that Edgewater can
support, there are physical constraints which increase the cost of providing
services to additional population and commercial development. Also in
existence are federal and state restrictions on the use of many resources and
the provision of services. Therefore, growth management embodies both
physical and institutional resources and restrictions.
In each chapter of this plan, resources and restrictions are described for
various aspects of the total environment. An analysis of these resources and.
restrictions and the application of the growth management philosophy
produced the development goals of the city. It must be noted that all elements
of this plan are intrinsically related; that is, no element can stand alone and be
viewed as a separate entity. Therefore, the presented growth management
goals, objectives and policies seek to unify the plan by requiring consideration
of each element when implementing this comprehensive plan.

RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE
Implementation
Provision of adequate recreational programs is vitally important to the
overall growth and development of the city. To assure the provision of this
program, the following policies will be implemented under a unified program
administered and reviewed by the city planning department and the LPA.
Goal
To provide adequate, well located facilities for both active and passive
recreation for persons of all ages in the form of a total recreation and open
space system which offers a full range of recreational activities to meet the
expanding needs of the citizens of Edgewater.
Objectives
1. Future park and recreational sites, whether specifically or
generally designated in official park and open space plans, should
be reserved.
2. In order to meet the open space and recreation requirements of
existing and future residents, identification and aquisition of sites
should be completed as soon as possible and should exist as an
ongoing process until all necessary sites are secured, i.e., Ocean
Street Park.
3. To encourage allocations of park and recreation funds in most
effective manner.

CHAPTER 2
( THE NATURAL SUPPORT SYSTEM
efi
• INTRODUCTION
The growth of the city is limited by the ability of the natural and
institutional support systems to provide for it. This chapter shall discuss-the
natural support system, which is the most limiting. By adopting the growth -
management philosophy, the city recognizes that the natural environment
does not have an infinite capacity for change.
Air, soil, and water resources have been inventoried, evaluated, and
their impact on the city's development described. Institutional restrictions
(primarily government regulations) on the use of these resources have also
been discussed. In addition, guidelines for resource utilization with particular
emphasis on coastal zone management have been developed. The result has
been the delineation of environmental opportunities for, and impediments to,
development.
Air Resources
An absence of significant heavy industry and constant ocean breezes
maintain good air quality throughout coastal Volusia County. No major air
pollution problems have been observed, but occasional localized problems may
be created by ocean salt spray or automobile exhaust. Open burning is strictly
controlled.
The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) maintains
an air sampling station in downtown Daytona Beach which tests for suspended
particulates in the air. Table 2-1 compares the observed 1976 air quality with
federal and state standards.

The nearest complete air quality monitoring station, that is, one that
tests for chemicals in the air, is located at Sanford, the site of a major fossil
��- - fueled electric power generating facility for Florida Power and Light. Even at
this location, air quality standards are being met; therefore, air quality in
Edgewater is considered to be good and should not affect the development of
the Comprehensive Plan.
Soil Conditions
All development occurs on the land, so a survey of soil conditions is one
of the best indicators of development opportunities.The soils of Volusia County
have been surveyed and classified by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. The
science of soil classification includes not only the physical aspects of the soil
itself (e.g., grain size, clay content,-etc.) but also-slope, depth to water table,
load bearing ability, and vegetation, among other things. In this-way it is
possible for the soil to be evaluated in terms of its suitability for various uses.
l ill
2-2
SSoils are described according to their limitations for these different
uses, the limitations on use being described as slight, moderate, or severe. It is
the suitability of the soil and not the classification of the soil that we are most
interested in, so detailed soil maps will not be included in this report.
The two uses that significantly impact this plan are the construction of
buildings without basements and septic tank leach fields. Figure 2-1 shows
soil limitations on building construction. It can be considered that the slightly
and moderately limited areas delineate the maximum area of the city that can
support development. These areas total approximately 1,707 acres, or 38.17
percent of the total area of the city (4,471 acres). It would appear that the
majority of the city is not suitable for urban development without modifications
to alleviate conditions imposed by natural moisture conditions.
Since most of the land area of the city is not served by the public sewage
system, soil conditions were also reviewed for the use of septic tanks. It was
found that this area was much more restrictive, totalling only 711 acres, or
15.9 percent of the city. The primary locations which are suitable for
development but not septic tanks, without innovative individual septic tank
design, are found in the Florida Shores subdivision, which is the large
( s development in the southwestern part of Edgewater. (See Figure 2-2).
Sparce development has occurred throughout Florida Shores. Nearly all
homes depend on septic tanks for disposal. Unfortunately, many of
these same
homes rely on private wells for supplying drinking water. A potential health
hazard could exist if past practices are continued without considering
alternatives presented earlier.
The situation has not gone unnoticed. City officials are attempting to
provide public water supplies to much of Florida Shores. Some lending
institutions have ceased financing home purchases in Florida Shores'
unsewered areas. A letter dated November 17, 1978, from Mr. Victor Hollis,
Director of the Housing Development. Division of the .U.S. .Department of-
- Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is an illustration:

County area, we have had a reinvestigation of the soils condition
made on the subject subdivision relative to the possible
installation of septic tanks.
Due to the,size of this parcel, approximately 9,000 lots, and
the soil conditions as they currently exist, we regret to advise you
that we are continuing our rejection on processing applications in
this unit until some form of sanitary sewer system is installed and
acceptable to this Administration.
It was determined that new construction permits are being
issued at an average of 15 to 20 per month and if this is the case, I
believe the municipality owes it to the respective buyers and
future residents of the community to make application for
assistance to install public water and sewer systems throughout
the area, either by assistance from Department of Housing &
Urban Development on a grant b asis, or through bond issuance by
the municipality
The data used for this determination is from the Soil Conservation
Service and is general in nature, and individual lots may differ. It should be
noted that in addition to Federal Housing Administration, the Farmers Home
Administration and Veterans Administration will also restrict housing
• programs in this area.
.
However, even with public sewage service, large areas of the
city- simply do not have soils suitable, without soil modifications,
for development due to the flood .potential of the areas noted in
the floodprone areas map prepared by Department of Housing & Map
Development. A major function of the Land Use Plan shall be to
determine city policy with regards to not only .the continued
development in these areas, but also to reducing problems for
existing homeowners.
Groundwater
The Floridan Aquifer is the source of the city's drinking water supply.
This freshwater aquifer lies atop a"layer-of saltwater in the coastal zone.Since -
sufficient flows in surface waterways do not exist to provide adequate drinking
water supplies, the City of Edgewater, and all of Volusia County, is dependent
on groundwater for its potable water.
•
(4 2-4
•
ie Over pumping and geological faults can allow saltwater intrusion into
the freshwater layer which would destroy the usefullness of the Floridan
Aquifer as a water source.Saltwater intrusion has occurred to a minor degree.
Chloride content of groundwater in the Edgewater area is generally in the
range of 26-250 parts per million (ppm).
Another factor affecting groundwater quality is septic tank effluent. In
i
soils not suited to septic tank use, ollution
p of groundwater will occur. Septic
tanks are used for sewage disposal in parts of the city where they not only may
produce surface water pollution, but also lead to the contamination of nearby
wells. To date, no major illness from this has been reported, but as the density
of the city increases, the opportunity for the creation of a serious health hazard
strongly exists. _
Rapidly growing population, and resulting increase in potable water use,
has created concern not only for groundwater quality but also quantity.
Accelerating the problem of groundwater depletion is reduced recharge
caused by the replacement of permeable soils and vegetation with
impermeable paving and roof surfaces. Instead of rain water percolating
through the soil to replenish groundwater, it is being diverted as stormwater -
runoff in urban ' areas. The stormwater runoff, in addition to reducing
groundwater recharge, seriously affects surface water
quality. (See later
sections in this.chapter.)
Even if groundwater recharge is improved along the coast, the existing
local capacity will soon be reached. Accordingly, the U.S. Geological Survey
has searched for and identified the principal groundwater recharge area of the
county which could serve as a future water source for the coastal area. Tests
are currently underway to determine the amount of water that can be safely
removed for potable water supplies, and the county has already instituted
development controls in the area to prevent unnecessary stress on the
recharge zone.

Surface Water
The city is bordered on the east by the North Indian River,which is part
of the Mosquito Lagoon Aquatic Preserve designated by Chapter 258 Florida
Statutes, which is a saltwater bay open to the Atlantic Ocean at Ponce Inlet.
The preserve serves as an important water recreation area and wildlife habitat.
The Intracoastal Waterway, running along the eastern coast of the United
States, includes the North Indian River and serves as the eastern boundary of
the city. Other waterways are part of the Edgewater Canal System discussed in
the Drainage Section.
Within the city, the river is both a Class II and Class III water. Class II
waters are suitable for shellfish harvesting and, therfore, are subject to
relatively high standards of quality. Class III waters are suitable for recreational
uses. The dividing line between the two classifications is located just south of
the Edgewater municipal complex at Bouy 57.
Table 2-2 compares the existing (1981) water quality with DER
standards.
( The waters of the lagoon are of good uali tY. although high phosphorus
levels have been observed.1 Maintenance of existing water quality is the third
highest priority of the Volusia County 208 water management program.2
Several potential threats to the lagoon's water quality have been identified:
1. Drainage canals.
2. Septic tank leachate.
3. Point source discharges from public and private sewer systems.
4. Urban stormwater runoff.

5. Dredge and fill operations.

The Indian River is more seriously affected by urban runoff and
hydrologic modification (dredge and fill, channelization, etc.) than by other
pollution sources. Table 2-3 illustrates the stress placed on the river by urban
runoff and wastewater discharge. As can be seen, slightly more ultimate
oxygen demand and many times more suspended solids are contributed by
stormwater runoff than by sewage discharges from the two wastewater
treatment plants (Edgewater and New Smyrna Beach), as established by the
VCOG 208 Water Quality Management Study.

deleteriously affect water quality. The stormwater best management practices
developed as part of the 208 program to reduce urban runoff are presented in
the next section.

Drainage
Flood, Prone Areas
Soil conditions reflect the city's extensive drainage problems. There is
virtually no topographic relief west of the rail line, resulting in very slow natural
stormwater removal; therefore, a canal system was developed to provide
drainage in the area.The Edgewater Canal System drains approximately 2,200
acres, including virtually all of Florida Shores. Many rear lot lines in the
subdivision fall on a drainage ditch.These ditches and five main lateral canals
flow north or south to the two main canals that drain into the river.It is through
this system that much of the 9
lagoon suspended solids load on the la is generated
p 9
and transmitted. Figure 2-3 indicates the drainage system for the city.The city
participates in the HUD Flood Insurance Program which requires first floor
elevations of structures to be above the level of the 100 year flood.
Water Quality and Management
The Volusia 208 Water Management Program concerned itself primarily
with nonpoint water pollution, of which urban runoff is a major component.
• After a thorough study of the Edgewater area, the program recommended that
the following measures be taken to reduce stormwater induced pollution. In
addition it is anticipated that federal funds will be available to cover these
costs.
•
1 . 1983 - Detention basin program(large interior basins); 2,232 acres
affected; initial cost of $183,600; annual 0 & M cost of $3,900.
2. 1985 - Participation in vacuum street sweeping program; provides
cleaning for 12,000 feet of roadway.
3. 1990 - Environmental trough program; 49,000 feet of trough in
two principal areas; total initial cost annual 0 & M of $1,800.

. 9 These measures are designed to reduce nonpoint pollution in the lagoon
by approximately 17 percent. An explanation of these programs follows.
Detention Basins
The stormwater flows into a basin (impoundment) where it is retained
for a period of time sufficiently long to allow suspended solids to settle to the
bottom. This method also reduces peak stormwater flows and provides some
local groundwater recharge. Basins may serve as recreational facilities or
improve property values by reducing stormwater levels and improving
aesthetic amenities.
However, there are also some potential problems which- may be
presented. The basins will occupy large land areas, land that may have 9 one
for other uses. If water remains in the basins for long periods of time, mosquito
breeding and algae growth may occur. Maintenance will be required yearly.
Street Sweeping
III (
Street and parking lot sweeping on a regular basis reduces the amount
of solids in the stormwater flow, and thus improves the efficiency and reduces
the maintenance of detention basins. Cleaner streets also improve the
appearance of the city.
Vacuum sweepers must be used for the system to be effective.Curb side
parking may have to be eliminated or curtailed on cleaning days in order to
allow machine access to the edges of streets,where most litter is found.Street.
sweeping is generally effective only on streets with curbs.
Environmental Troughs
An environmental trough is a gently sloping, grass covered depression,
- - generally located adjacent to the roadway, in urban areas with well drained
soils. These depressions collect stormwater and-allow-it to percolate into the
soil. The troughs will greatly reduce stormwater flows and the resulting
pollution load, and provide for local groundwater recharge. They also reduce
the load on the street storm sewer system.
2-10
•
The retained water may present an inconvenience for short periods of
time following heavy rains. The troughs can only be constructed on well •
drained soils, which comprise only a small portion of the city. Fortunately,this
portion is the most heavy developed.
In addition to these measures, the County has enacted a stormwater
management ordinance. Much controversy has been created over this newly
adopted ordinance, both for its requirements on the developer and the
provision that it will take effect within incorporated areas within 18 months if
the cities do not adopt an equally effective ordinance.
The intent of the ordinance is the continuation of natural stormwater
retention levels following a land development. The ordinance and its
implementing regulations spell out various stormwater management practices
which may be used.The long-term effect of the ordinance remains to be seen.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas
�.� Vital ecological areas must be identified by the Comprehensive Plan so
the city may fully provide for the protection and utilization of the natural
support system. There are three major ecosystems which may be affected by
the city's growth.
Estuarine Ecosystem
The Indian River, as a Class II water, is a habitat for many plant and
animal species. In addition to shellfish harvesting, the lagoon is a breeding
ground for marine life that supports the region's commercial and sport fishing
industry. With the continuing degradation of the Halifax River, Mosquito
Lagoon is the only high quality coastal saltwater body suitable as a habitat for
many species in the coastal area of the county. The Indian River is the most
critical environmental system in the city.
The primary flora of the lagoon are the mangroves; species of this plant
found in Edgewater are the red, black and white varieties. The leaves of these
trees provide organic matter for the lagoon, while their roots serve as a soil
.S •
2-11 '
trap and habitat for small marine animals. Other P lants of interest found in the
lagoon are the gumbo limbo and Strangler fig, species normally found only
south of Lake Okeechobee.
The presence of mangroves and grasses provides protection for many
marine species, including shrimp, redfish, sea trout, and several species of
game fish; the manatee may also be occassionally found. Another animal that
enters the lagoon is the bottle-nosed dolphin as it feeds on mullet and other
small fish. Oysters and clams are harvested in some parts of the Class II areas.
Since shellfish concentrate pollutants in their bodies,the maintenance of high
water quality is necessary to retain shellfish harvesting in the area. Already,
areas south and north of the city have been closed to harvesting because of
pollution.
Marine and bird life found in the estuary are sensitive to disturbance by
man. The preservation of the Indian River environment is necessary not only
for the survival of wildlife, but also for the continuation of the area's fishing
industry and resulting boost in tourism. Stormwater management and
adequate sewage treatment can prevent degradation of the ecosystem and, in
ra the case of stormwater management, rectify an existing problem created by
sedimentation.
Turnbull Hammock
Although not within the city limits, the Turnbull Hammock extends
south from Florida Highway 442 to Brevard County. The hammock is "
characterized by poorly to very poorly drained soils. Red maple, water oak, and
sweetgum are the dominant tree species.When trees of these species mature,
they form a very dense canopy which blocks out light and holds in moisture.
Accordingly, the floor of the hammock is dominated by shade tolerant plants;
e.g., the royal fern, cinnamon fern, and saw palmetto. Wetland areas may
contain water hyacinth, pennywort, and pickerel,weed, in addition to animal
species such as snails, mosquito fishy frogs, and turtles;-Drier areas-support ----
broomsedge, slash pine, dove, opossum, raccoon, squirrel, and bluejay.
Systems of this type provide invaluable service in cleansing runoff of
sedimentation and pollutants.
•
2-12
•
SPine Flatwood
Pine flatwood are found in undeveloped areas of the city. These pine
areas have poorly drained soils and may be occassionally flooded. Dominant
vegetation is the longleaf pine, saw palmetto, and dwarf live oak_ Since the
pine trees do not form a solid overstory, sufficient light reaches the lower
levels for shrubs, hardwoods, and pine seedlings to grow. Periodic fires during
dry seasons prevent the emergence of a dominant hardwood environment.
In excessively wet areas, bald cypress, red maple, and water tupelo can
be found.Wildlife in these areas is similar to that found in the hydric hammock.
Other Ecosystems
Limited grassland areas are found in the city, most of these being
artificially created and maintained. Large grass areas may serve as habitats for
rabbits, birds, and mice, as well as feeding grounds for other species.There are
II / no prime agricultural lands located in the city.
� ; S
Endangered Species
An analysis of the existing ecosystems and observations of the wildlife
indicate that the following endangered species may be found in Edgewater and
vicinity.
1. Brown Pelican
2. Wood Stork
3. Bald Eagle
4. Dusky Seaside Sparrow
5. Atlantic Ridley Turtle
6. Leatherback Turtle -
7. Loggerhead Turtle
8. Bromiliad
9. Butterfly Orchid
10. Manatee

' Conservation Principles
The Florida Bureau of Coastal Zone Planning has developed standards
for the preservation and use of natural resources in the coastal zone, which
includes all of the city. These guidelines are presented below.
General Considerations
1. Priorities are given to those uses which can function only through
location on the waterfront or direct access to it. Secondary
priorities are given to activities that can function inland but are
significantly enhanced by a shoreline location.
2. All feasible efforts.to minimize adverse environmental impact must
be made.
3. Land uses not requiring or enhanced by a waterfront location
should be discouraged from competing for this scare resource and
utilize available inland sites.
Ports and Water-related Industry
1. Port and marina design should require a minimum of
maintenance, utilizing water scouring action to prevent siltation.
2. Space needs in port and marina areas should be projected well into
.
the future in order to reserve adequate space. •
3. Only those industrial activities requiring waterfront locations
should be sited at the shoreline.
4. Cooperative docking, cargo handling and parking-areas_should be _. _ -
incorporated into port and marina design.. .
5. Port facilities should have effective capabilities to deal with oil
spills.
r
2-14
' II
Transportation and Utilities
1. Major traffic arteries should be located inland from the shore,
unless otherwise required for proper functioning. Existing
shoreline roads should not be expanded.
2. New transportation and utilities development should take place in
areas that avoid coastal (and interior) wetlands. Where wetlands
cannot be avoided, bridging rather than filling should be utilized to
the maximum degree feasible.
3. Highway cooridor analysis should consider suitability of adjacent
undeveloped land for urban development. Highway routing should
guide growth into suitable areas, but when this is not possible,
-access should be strictly controlled.
4. All structures and waterways and drainage cooridors should be
designed to permit efficient flow of water and not cause shoaling
or reduction of flushing action.Adequate clearance for appropriate
•f classes of boats also should be taken into consideration.
5. Prevent concentrated runoff from roadways into adjacent water
• bodies. Retention areas which permit settling of suspended solids
and filtration of stormwater should be incorporated into the overall
highway design.
6. All slopes, cuts and fills should be stabilized as soon as possible by
vegatation or other effective means in order to prevent
unnecessary erosion. In fact, natural vegetation should be retained
whenever possible.
Commercial Development
1. Commercial shoreline development should be restricted to those
activities that either require or are strongly enhanced by a
waterfront location.
f
2-15
•
_ I
• 2. Parking facilities should
9 be located away from the shore.
3. Aesthetics should be a major consideration, especially
communities having a strong tourist economy.
Marina Location and Design
1. Marinas should be located where maximum physical advantages
exist and where minimum dredging will be required.
2. Dry storage design should be utilized for small craft.
3. Construction should avoid unnecessary damage to wetlands,
shellfish beds and grass beds.
4. Turning basins and channels should be designed to prevent long-
term degradation of water quality. Avoid dead-end or deep
channels which lack adequate flushing.
5. Marinas with live-aboard craft should be equipped
-,‘' q pped with sewage
systems and/or sanitary dump stations.
-
Bulkheads and Seawalls
1. Bulkheads should be located at, or landward a d of mean high water
line.
2. Sloping revetments, instead of vertical seawalls,should be used in
high energy areas to more effectively dissipate wave forces and
reduce the effects of bottom scouring.
3. Sharp-angle turns that collect trash or cause shoaling and flushing
problems should be avoided.
2-16 .
•
•
Dredging, Filling and Artificial Waterways
- 1. Dredging and/or filling of submerged and marsh lands should be
minimized.
I
. 2. Land development activities that are feasible only through
dredging and filling of submerged and wetland areas should be !
discouraged.
_ 3. State-approved excavations in submerged and wetland areas
-_ should be kept at the minimum required to accomplish the project.
4. Buffer zones of vegetation should be established between any area
of urban development and adjacent waterways_
5. Artificial waterways should be designed to ensure adequate tidal
- flushing. Dead-ends, narrow openings, deep channels, and sharp-
. angle turns should be avoided.
6. Waterway connections to open water should be located to
minimize adverse environmental impact. Avoid connections that
(
disrupt wetlands, marine grasses and shellfish beds. .
_ 7. Approved upland waterway construction should be done in the dry,
if possible, so that shaping and stabilization of the banks can be
_ _ _. completed before the "plug" is removed for connection to open
waters.
8. Artificial waterways, should generally be excavated to depths no
greater than six feet, mean low water, to allow establishment of
vegetation on the canal bottoms. Canals are excessively deep
develop serious anerobic zones in which the oxygen level is so low
(or totally absent) that aquatic life cannot be sustained. Also, deep
canals are -more prone to entrophication, which creates
- unpleasant conditions for adjacent developments. '
2-17
. 1
0 9. The sides of artificial waterways should be gently sloped rather
then vertical to facilitate biological as well as physical stabilization
of the canal shoreline. Long-term physical and economic benefits
are derived from imitating a natural channel configuration in
artificial waterways.
10. The edge of artifical waterways should be raised so that there is a
gradual slope away from the canal edge. This will help prevent
- introduction of contaminants into adjacent water bodies. The
drainage situation created by this action must be accounted for the
drainage plan for the overall development.
11. Dredging for navigational access should be planned to prevent
unnecessary channels. In areas having shallow water shorelines,
peripheral canals on the upland, leading to a central navigational
channel, should be considered rather than separate access
channels for each waterfront landowner.
12. All dredging spoil material should be placed on suitable upland
rather than in water areas.This will help minimize degradation of
water quality and adverse impact on sensitive estuarine life.
Where feasible, sand spoil should be used for dune construction
and restoration projects.
. i
13. Effective turbidity control mechanisms and procedures should be
used to protect water quality in areas adjacent to construction
activities.
Docks and Piers
1. Docks and piers should not obstruct navigation or public use of
waters, and they should be constructed in a manner that does not
restrict water flow.
2-18
II•
i
Natural Vegetation
•
1. Development should preserve permanent open space buffer zone
of natural vegetation on slopes and along the shoreline, other
waterways, and environmentally sensitive areas.
2. In areas where temporary removal of vegetation is necessary
during construction, replanting should be carried out as soon as
feasible.
3. Landscaping around development should utilize, where possible,
native species that are adapted to soil, water, and temperature
conditions of the area. This allows ground cover without
introduction of fertilizers, pesticides and other potentially harmful
materials that are often necessary for survival of non-indigenous
plants. Many times native plants can be salvaged before
development occurs and later used for landscaping.
Development in Wetlands
1. Wetlands should be avoided by all development if possible.
•
2. Any development that does occur in wetlands should take special
care to avoid unnecessary ecological or hydrological damage to the
area. -
Residential Development
1. Subdivision regulations should be performance-oriented rather
than mean-oriented to allow flexibility in the techniques used to
achieve desired goals of local government. Creative application of
planned-unit-development ordinances can be very effective
stimualting environmentally sensitive land planning.
2. Residential subdivision should be planned in accordance with
natural characteristics of the land rather than simply laying out a
grid pattern that ignores slope, elevation, drainage patterns,
natural vegetation, and accessibility.
i
2-19
..
. •
•__
s3. Maximum retention of green areas and open space should be
encouraged with density and setbacks being controlled by
utilization of the "planned unit development" concept where
possible.
4. Runoff from streets and yards should be carefully controlled to
prevent flooding in adjacent areas or pollution of water bodies.
Catchment basins should be constructed at storm sewer outfalls to
prevent silt and other pollutants from entering water areas. ■
Septic Tanks
1. Septic tanks should not be allowed in residential subdivisions built
on soil having either low permeability, high water table or high
organic matter content.
2. Septic tank drainfields should be located at distances far enough
away from water bodies to preclude seepage from the drainfields
from entering the water body. In no case should this be less than
fifty feet from the high water line of the water body.
3. Septic tank use should be planned for only nonurban areas. For
urban subdivisions and high density use areas, septic tanks should
not be considered as a permanent answer to sewage disposal,
regardless of soil conditions. j

POPULATION AND ECONOMY

r INTRODUCTION .
Basic data on the city's population and economy can provide insight into
the needs of the city and its residents. This chapter will provide information
which can be used to assess the adequacy of the institutional support systems
presented in later chapters.
t The City of Edgewater lies within the Volusia County Standard
Metropoliton Statistical area (SMSA) identified by the U.S.Lensus.Bureau.As
.- • such specific data relevant to population characteristics was collected at the
census block level. However,tabulations of data were aggregated at the county
level. As a consequence only limited information is available relevant to
population characteristics. Specifically this information was related to housing
data, age structure, and minority concentrations.
Historic Population Trends
The 1970 population of the city was 3,348 persons, a 63.2 percent
increase over the 1960 population. During the period, the city's growth rate
was nearly twice that experienced by Volusia County. The 1970 Census also
indicated that the city had a large population of persons aged 62 and over(32
- percent); 23 percent of the population was under age 18. There were no •
persons of minorities residing in the city at that time.
Most of the city's population is concentrated to the east of the Florida'
East Coast Railway (FEC) rail line; however, there is also a concentration of
persons in the Flagler Avenue area just west.of the railroad, and sparce
development throughout the Florida Shores subdivision. Block data from the
1970 Census and from a special census conducted by the University of Florida
in 1977 indicates that the city's elderly population was fairly well distributed
throughout the developed areas of Edgewater.
1
3-1
,
Current Population
The latest official population estimate from the University of Florida, for
•
July 1, 1977, for Edgewater is 4,567 persons. Estimates of the September
1978, population made by the author based on data from the city, indicated a
population of 5,010 persons. .
Future Population Trends
The development of the city will be dependent on the ability of the
natural and instituional systems to support it, and on the policies of the city.
For this reason, it is impossible at this time to accurately predict the future
population of the city. In any event, population projections are generally based
on past trends. The continuation of the trends into the future may not be an
appropriate assumption. With all projections made for a small population size,
like that of Edgewater, over long periods of time, the predictions can be
invalidated by a relatively minor event, such as the opening of a new industry.
Regardless of their limitations, population projections can serve to
indicate what may happen if policy changes do not occur.Table 3-1, in addition
to displaying past population trends, show three possible future population
trends for the city. Alternative 1 is based on the growth rate predicted by the
Volusle County Planning Department in its publication, Update 1977.
Alternative 2 is an extension of past growth trends. Alternative 3 is based on
the city's historic share of the county's growth.
The question can be asked, "Should not the city determine its desired
growth rate rather than react to imposed growth?"Yes,and this is the purpose
of the Comprehensive. Plan. During the development of the Future Land Use
Plan, various alternative development patterns are reviewed to determine
which may best meet the city's growth management goals and objectives.
Economy
The economy of Edgewater is closely tied to that of the Daytona Beach
area. The Edgewater economy is dominated by retail and service

establishments, which is in keeping with the regional pattern; however, unlike
Daytona Beach, Edgewater does not have a significant tourism urism industry. It can
be stated, though, that since Edgewater is closely tied to Daytona Beach
economically, tourism does affect the city substantially.
Detailed employment statistics do not exist for the city, but do exist for
the county. Table 3-2 shows employment by industry for 1970 and 1978. It
should be noted that some industrial classifications changed during the period
and may affect the comparability of data for the two years.
As is common for a retail and service oriented economy, particularly one
l
subject to seasonal tourism fluctuations, job opportunities are generally
restricted to lower skilled and lower paid employment than that found in the 1
more commonly occurring manufacturing based economy.
The county's median family incomes reflects the high percentage of
elderly living on fixed incomes. In 1974, the Edgewater-family income was
estimated to be $9,226, only 71.9 percent of the national average but 95.8 f
percent of county average. (See Table 3-3).
Available data indicates a relatively uniform population in terms of
identifiable segments. This assumption is based on the housing statistics for
the area compared to the lack of minorities and the percentage of owner
occupied housing. It is quite possible that more recent data which will be
available after the 1980 census will reflect significant economic stratifications
and perhaps an increase in minorities. It is recommended that the local •
planning agency conduct an on-going planning program geared towards
further upgrading of available base economic and social data to adequately
determine the needs of the population relative to income group.This program
should be reviewed on an annual basis so that other elements of the plan can
be changed accordingly.

CHAPTER
CHAPTER 4
LAND USE
-1
I 1TRODUCT I Oil
. When the term "comprehensive plan" is used , one gener-
ally thinks of a future land used map showing the ultimate -
development pattern. In actuality the future land use map
is perhaps the least important part of a comprehensive plan .
The goal of the city is for Edgewater to develop in an
orderly and manageable manner so as to provide for the needs
of its residents , following stated policies for reaching that
goal . It is the goal and the implementing policies that are
most important . The future land use map is just ,a represen-
tation of one way in which the goal may be reached , but not
the only way .
The future land use map provides a graphic representation
of the city's growth management objectives , policies , and
guidelines ; therefore , the Land Use Plan will be more con-
cerned with aiding in the development of land use - guidelines
in combination with the general guidance provided by the
conceptual patterns presented on the land use map .
One has only to attend a, few rezoning hearings to rea-
lize the ephemeral nature of trying to maintain a fixed
picture of land use . The city ' s purpose would be better
served by establishing land use guidelines defining the man-
ner in which developmental decisions can be made . These
guidelines will not affect only land use but also the' cap-
� ital investments of the city . The capital budgeting process
is one of the most effective ways to implement the city ' s
growth management philosophy .
Existing_ Lond Use
The Existing Land Use Map reveals scattered strip comm-
ercial development along U. S . Highway 1 , with residential
development behind the commercial strip . Interspersed among
the commercial uses are some medium-density single-family
residential and high-density single-family residential and
high-density mobile home parks .
Development between U . S . 1 and the Indian River is pre-
dominently medium-density single-family. Most of the older
. structures in the City are located in this area .
Between U. S . 1 and the FEC Railroad are medium-density ,
single-family residential neighborhoods separated by vacant
areas- with some industrial and public uses along the railroad .
1
West of the railroad , there is some heavy industrial
development North of Park Avenue West , with the majority of

that area being vacant .
• `� Between Park Avenue and Indian River Blvd . is the Edge-
water Acres Subdivision which is medium-density , single-family
residential, some extractive and light industrial uses and the
North section of the Florida Shores Subdivision.
The Florida Shores Subdivision extends from Edgewater
Acres Subdivision, South to the City limits . This subdivision
has undergone scattered development , with over 1 ,000 single-
family units constructed . This represents approximately 30%
' of the total"_buiading lots . Some commercial development is
emerging adjacent to the railroad with some low-density multi-
family - development buffering the single family district from
the commercial areas .
The representation of land use is made difficult by the
sparcity of development in Florida Shores and the size of map
which would be included in this plan. For these reasons , res-
idential land use is indicated for an entire block if at least
three homes were located within it . For two or fewer homes
the block is shown as being entirely vacant . .
Common to the land use patterns of coastal Volusia County I
is commercial development in a strip along U .S . Highway 1 with
residential development behind the commercial strip . This
t pattern is maintained in Edgewater . The strip commercial dev-
(� elopment pattern is wasteful of energy and time as it requires
li extensive travel for shopping. Significant g• g ant multi-
store parking
is precluded . In addition, this pattern promotes a general
unsightly hodgepodge of commercial activity and will detract
from the appearance of the city to visitors and potential
investors .
The North-central and western part of the city is under-
. going some industrial development . Table 4-1 shows the amount
of land committed to urban land use.

Major Areas of Conflict
Land use conflict takes two forms - conflict between neighboring uses
and conflict between a use and the natural and institutional support systems.
Historically, persons lived, worked, and shopped in one small area. In
today's suburban, automobile dependent environment, the attempt is often
made to segregate land uses from each other through the use of land use
controls (zoning).
It has been generally ruled that the restriction of land use must be
supported by justifiable evidence of the public good over private injury; i.e.,the
loss to a property owner through the restriction•of the property's use must be
outweighed by the benefit to the public by restricting its use. Only by assessing
the impact of development on the natural and institutional support systems .
can this evidence be found.
•
In Chapter 2, restrictions on,and opportunities for,development created
by the natural support system were described. These restrictions and
opportunities delineate the maximum amount of growth that can be provided
for in the city. The institutional support systems can provide for growth only to
• the limit of that allowed by the environment.
The total amount of developable land" is 1 ,707 acres, or about
twice that which is. currently urbanized. By comparing Figure 2-1
with• Figure 4-1 , it was determined that approximately 35 percent
of the existing urbanized land is located on these unsuitable soils.
The Comprehensive Plan, therefore, must consider not only the future
allocation of remaining developable land, but also the disposition of •
incompatible existing development:Many people risk not just their financial
investments but also their health. To what degree should government protect
private investment?.More importantly, to what degree should it impose itself
on people to protect their own well being?

Locational Guidelines and Future Land Use
Each type of land use has certain requirements for its location, such as
soil conditions, transportation, and public facilities. This section will describe
the locational needs for various land uses. These guidelines will direct, in
addition to land use regulation activities,the capital budgeting procedure of the
City. Adherence to these guidelines will reduce conflict between neighboring
land uses and allow the orderly provision of services. In all cases,the ability of
the natural system to support the use should be considered.
- Single-Family Residential
This land use consists of detached houses on individual lots. In
Edgewater, three densities exist:
Rural
■ These homes, when located on suitable soils, may be served by a well
and septic tank. They are found to be incidental uses in areas dominated by
agriculture. Rural residencnes should be located in areas that are.
1. Primarily agricultural in nature.
2. Buffered from intensely developed areas.
Low Density
These homes are served by public water and sewer lines; septic tanks
may be used in areas with suitable soils. Minimum lot size is one-third acre
with all utilities, or three-quarters acre when septic tanks are used for sewage
disposal:-Housing of this type should be located in areas that:
•
r 4-4
•. 1. Provide attractive natural surroundings.
2. Have convenient access to shopping and public facilities.
3. Are minimally- affected by noise and fumes from major streets.
Medium Density
In areas where adequate support systems exist, a higher density of
housing can be allowed. These homes must be served by public water and
sewer. Minimum lot size is one-quarter acre. Since this density level creates
more stress on the city's resources, medium density housing should be located
-- - in acreas that:
- 1. Offer excellent aesthetic amenities.
- 2. 2.Are close to shopping and public facilities.
3. Will not direct traffic through low density residential areas.
Mobile Homes
Many localities attempt to zone mobile homes out of their jurisdictions;
_ - however, a mobile home is often the only affordable, satisfactory-housing for
{ many persons.The large number of elderly persons on fixed incomes in the city
indicates that there may be a great need for mobile homes in Edgewater. (See
Chapter 5.) Mobile homes should be located adjacent to the facilities their
occupants may need to use frequently, particularly shopping. Site
requirements for individual homes are the same as those for medium density
_ housing.
More often, mobile homes are found in parks and subdivisions designed
specifically for them. These developments should be allowed only where they
can be served fully be public water and sewer. A minimum individual mobile
home lot size is 75 feet by 100 feet. Additional land should be provided for
adequate parking and, where indicated, community facilities. Mobile home
parks and subdivisions should be located: -
1. So they are afforded direct access to the major street network but
do not direct traffic through single-family areas.
2. In areas that offer exceptional surroundings.
•
3. Close to or directly accessible to shopping.
•
4-5
•
•
Multi-Family Residential
The term "multi-family" refers to buildings having more than one
dwelling unit, and includes duplexes, townhouses, apartments, and
condominimums. These developments should contain sufficient land for
parking, open space, and recreational or commercial areas where necessary.
The locational guidelines for this use are the same as those for mobile
home parks. The degree of adherence to those guidelines depends on the size
and density of the development.
Commercial
Commercial land uses include retail outlets, service-oriented
businesses, professional and business offices, motels and hotels, and other
enterprises which do not produce excessive odors, noises,or other unpleasant
effects. Lots should be large enough to include the provision of landscaping
and off-street parking. Areas of commercial development should be located:
1. So as to be served by the major street network.
(,( 0
2. Central to or ready accessible from residential areas.
3. In areas with good pedestrian circulation.
4. In cohesive s.rou -
9 P
5. So as not to direct traffic through residential areas.
Industrial .
The industrial land use classification in Edgewater includes light
industries. and manufacturers, as well as wholesale outlets and other
businesses that generate substantial truck traffic or noise.The development of
an industrial park or area is preferred so that necessary services and
transportation facilities can be more economically provided, and so that
adequate buffers can be provided between such an area and residential land
uses. Industrial areas should be located:
1. On the major street network.
2. .Away from the residential areas.
C.. • 4-6
•
3. So as to be easily provided with necessary services and utilities.
• 4. With off-street parking.
5. So as not to direct traffic through residential areas.
Public/Semi-Public
This land use includes churches, schools, parks, government offices,
utilities, and other facilities or areas generally considered to be open to the
public for the non-commercial betterment of the city. These uses are found
throughout virtually all other land uses, and may serve as buffers between
conflicting uses.
•
Because of the diversity of the locational needs for public/semi-public
land uses, a single set of locational guidelines cannot be provided. For
example, churches and schools may generate substantial amounts of traffic,
while neighborhood playgrounds would not. The placement of these facilities
must be considered on an individual basis.

CHAPTER 5
HOUSING

L* . .

•
INTRODUCTION
•
The function of this chapter of the comprehensive plan is to establish
the base housing requirements of the city. This will be done interms of recent
trends in housing needs for assisted and unassisted housing relative to
identifiable segments of the population. Much of the data in the preparation of
this chapter is contained in the Population and Economy Chapter. In addition,
material prepared by the Volusia Council of Governments were also
considered where applicable.
Inventory
When the land use survey was performed, housing types and conditions
were also assessed. As was expected, single-family residences dominate the
current housing supply.
The structural condition of each dwelling was evaluated according to the
( following criteria:
cS
Standard
Housing has no defects or only slight defects which may be corrected by
normal maintenance.
Deteriorated
The structure has substantial defects for which correction is beyond
normal maintenance. Correction would require a substantial investment.
Dilapidated
The dwelling no longer provides shelter, and poses a serious threat to
- the health and safety of the residents. Further occupancy of the structure
should not occur until corrective action is taken. Correction would require
extensive or complete renovation; demolition of the structure may be in order.
' _ 5-1
•
HOUSING SURVEY RESULTS
•
The results of the housing survey are displayed in Table 5-1. Almost all
(98.6 percent) of the housing supply is in standard condition. Only three homes
are considered to be dilapidated.Substandard housing was not concentrated in
any one area, though there did appear to be more near the intersection of Park
Avenue and U.S. 1 than in other areas.
A lack of substantial multi-family housing may indicate a dependence on
mobile homes for low income housing. Although it was not possible for the
survey to distinguish between renter and owner occupied homes, the 1970
Census indicated that 10.7 percent of the housing supply was renter
occupied:
This is substantially less than the county average of 38.1 percent, and is
perhaps reflective of a lower seasonal tourist population in the city.
In Chapter 2, reference was made to a survey of household size. That
survey was an attempt by the city to update 1970 Census data.a. Over 800
households returned the survey form, more than one-third of the city. An
analysis of the indicated household sizes showed that, if applicable to the
( entire city, the median family size was 2.18 persons.The household size is less
(. than that for the county (2.55 persons), and seems consistent with the city's
population characteristics. Twenty-five percent of the respondents indicated a
household size of only one person.
In October 1974, the Volusia Council of Governments analyzed housing
. for the elderly throughout the county.Their report' stated that 69 percent of all
elderly.households were composed of a husband and wife, and 26 percent of
the elderly lived alone, the remainder living with family or in group quarters.
These figures compare favorably with the results of the population survey.
When applied to Edgewater, it is estimated that persons aged 62 and over are
. sole occupants of 970 homes, or 42 percent of all occupied housing.

Housing Program •
•
Although the City of Edgewater does not have a substantial housing
• problem, it is in the best interest of the community to develop positive housing
. policies to ensure that the residents of the city have an adequate supply of safe
and sanitary housing in a variety of types.
•
There are two primary factors concerning existing housing which can
influence the continuation of a sound housing stock. First, pride in one's home
and in one's neighborhood has a great influence;this is probably the strongest
. factor in maintaining sound neighborhoods. Secondly, enforcement of city
' codes can be used to upgrade housing units that have fallen into a state of
disrepair and to remove units which. are dilapidated and not suitable for
rehabilitation. This can act to prevent the spread of blight and will reinforce
- _ confidence and pride in the residents of the surrounding area. Land use
guidelines, such as those found in Chapter 4 will serve to encourage orderly
development and prevent non-residential developments from having a
detrimental effect on residential neighborhoods.
A projection of housing demand would in itself not be appropriate. In
Edgewater population growth will directly be tied to the availability of new
housing. Therefore, the determinate of the population increase will be the
number of new units constructed.
•
At the present time, the Edgewater Housing Program will consist of
. continued coordination with the Volusia Council of Governments, and the
identification of areas of land within the city suitable for the construction of
assisted housing.

CHAPTER 6
POTABLE WATER AND SANITARY SEWER
INTRODUCTION
As previously mentioned in Chapter 2 the provision of public water and
sewer services, as an institutional support system, will have the greatest
impact on the full utilization of the natural support system and, therefore, on
the ultimate development of the city.
Description of Existing Systems
•
Water Supply and Distribution
A new 1.0 mgd (million gallons per day)water treatment plant is under
construction to provide an adequate capacity for water supply for many years.
Three deep wells provide the raw water for the system. The treatment plant
was scheduled for completed in January 1979.
Figure 6-1 shows the existing water distribution system. Substantial
r portions of the city are not served by the system.
s
Outside the service area, private wells serve as water sources for
individual homes. These wells generally provide no quality monitoring or
treatment. Since these same homes are dependent on septic tanks for
disposal, and most are located on small lots whose soil conditions are
unsuitable for septic tank use without modification, there is the distinct
possibility, indeed probability, that water quality in the wells is declining and
poses a potentially serious threat to persons who drink the water. (The reader
should refer to the discussion in Chapter 2.)
Existing Sewage Collection and Treatment
Sewer collectors serve most of the developed parts of the city, but little
of Florida Shores.As has been previously stated, most homes in Florida Shores
6-1
r--
• are dependent on septic tanks for sewage treatment and disposal. Figure 6-2 •
shows the public sanitary sewer system of the city. Most of the system was
installed in 1963.
The sewage treatment plant has been expanded to an average capacity
of 1.0 mgd, and a short-term peak load capacity of 2.5 mgd. The treatment
process includes aerobic digestion to provide 90 percent waste removal.
Discharge is to the North Indian River. -
Waste load allocations reported in the Volusia County 208 plan indicate
a future (2000) average flow of 1.2 mgd, and recommend an increase in
• normal plant capacity to 1.2 mgd to provide for the future load.

CHAPTER 7
ELECTRIC POWER
s
.
DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM
Edgewater is served by the Florida Power and Light Company (FP&L).
Edgewater's distribution system is served by its own substation through a 115
KV transmission line from the company's power plant at Sanford.The Sanford
plant is fueled by heavy oil, although the smaller of the three generating units
can switch to natural gas.
Improvement Plan
Ten Year power P/ant Site P/an indicates that no generating facilities are
planned for Volusia County. Several improvements have been proposed for the
Edgewater distribution system:
1. Increase Edgewater substation capacity. Add third 28 MVA power
transformer after 1985.
2. Install new feeder line in 1979.
1010 3. Install new feeder line in 1984.
4. Miscellaneous line improvements (split laterals, add reclosers,
install capacitors, add phase, and install line regulators) will be
made on an ongoing basis.
Evaluation
Existing and planned electric power facilities will not impact on the
development or implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. Florida Power and
Light is dedicated to providing for the electrical needs of the city.

CHAPTER 8
TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
410 INTRODUCTION
The construction and maintenance of streets are not only expensive •
functions of government, but are also strong determinants of development.
The Traffic Circulation element is intended to provide recommendations for the
provision of a system of major streets which will assure safe, efficient, and
dependable movement of people and goods within and through the city. In so
doing, the Comprehensive Plan will also address ways to relieve such existing
problems as poor circulation, lack of access, and inadequate capacity.
Existing Major Street Network
The majority of traffic in and through the city occurs on U.S. Highway 1,
with additional concentrations being found on Indian River Boulevard (C442),
•
which intersects with 1-95 west of the city and Riverside Drive.
Figure 8-1 shows the existing street system and established traffic
count stations. Table 8-1 shows the traffic volumes recorded at these stations.
(IP
At best, traffic circulation patterns through the City are very poor. Figure
8-2 identifies improvements which will ease existing problems while at the
same time prevent future occurence of congestion and poor access due to
growth.
However, it is suggested that the cities transportation improvement
program be continuously evaluated to reflect changing priorities and to ensure
new corridor developments based on economic feasibility vs. need.
Analysis
Traffic congestion is not currently a problem, although peak loads on
Riverside Drive may indicate a need to improve flow on that street. Another
problem area which should be addressed is the intersection on U.S. 1 at the
north end of the city. The intersection's hazardous design threatens safe
vehicular flow.

In discussion of the future traffic needs of the city, the
LPA should be aware of a recommendation made by the Volusia Coastal
Area Transportation Study (VCATS) which calls for a bridge across
Indian River to be constructed by the year 2000, to extend Indian
River Boulevard to FL AlA. The construction of this bridge, if it
occurs, may also affect the Future Land Use Plan. Other proposals
by VCATS Plan.
In addition, other transportation problems exist which are in
need of correction:
1 . In some areas of the city industrial truck traffic must
pass through residential neighborhoods.
2. Florida Shores has ten (10) access points in the South
section of the subdivision.
3. Florida- Shores has many miles of unpaved roads, heavy
traffic flow and straight streets.
4. The City has dead-end streets.without turn arounds in the
City.

CHAPTER 9
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
•
•
• EXISTING CONDITIONS
Under the present system of operation, the city collects solid waste and
uses a county transfer station which delivers wastes to the county landfill for
disposal. _
The street department operates the collection service. Collections are
regularly serviced four days per week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday with emergency service on Wednesday if required.
The collection process is partially segregated due to some high volume
commercial accounts. The city charges a uniform rate of $3.50/month for all
accounts except for the few high volume accounts. Tipping fees at the landfill
is $2.30/cubic yard of waste. There are no private franchise operations in the
city.
Analysis
i
The city operates an effective solid waste system. Recent problems
with fuel allocations, however, may necessitate restructuring of the route
system or a. decrease in the numbers of days service is delivered.
It is recommended that the city annually review the collection program
to continue to provide for reliable, economically efficient adequate service.

CHAPTER 10 -
RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE
i
( INTRODUCTION
In today's leisure and sports minded society, recreation has become an
important facet of our lives.This is particularly true in Edgewater where there
is a preponderance of persons who have large amounts of free time; 55
percent of the city's residents are either under 18 years of age or over 61.
This chapter will describe existing recreational facilities and
opportunities, including open space, and assess their adequacy. A program of
action designed to provide for the elimination of deficiencies, now and in the
future, will be developed.
Inventory
Recreation Facilities
The city has two municipal recreation facilities totaling just under 2.5
i ( /
acres in size. The two sites, located across from each other on Riverside Drive
at Park Avenue, provide:
E
1. 16 shuffle board courts;
2. 4 picnic shelters, 3 with tables (1 each);
3. 1 tennis court;
4. 2 basketball goals;
5. 2 handball courts; •
6. 1 boat ramp (to North Indian River);
7. 1 equipped play area;
8. 1 community center.
The community center is part of the City Hall complex located on the site
and there are no publicly sponsored programs at this facility. In addition to the
city facilities, the Florida Shores Property Owners Association maintains the
following: •
.e. 0
c . 10-1
( I
1. 2 shuffleboard courts
2. 2 horseshoe areas
3. 1 meeting building
4. Playground equipment on adjacent city property.
During summer break, the Edgewater Elementary School operates a
recreation program consisting of supervised arts and crafts, field trips, and
organized sports. A privately owned pool and rollerskating rink is available, as
is an equipped play area in western Edgewater. Figure 10-1 shows the location
of existing recreation facilities.
Open Space
Most of the city's open space is composed of vacant land and
agricultural areas, there being no designated public open space areas.
Vacant/agricultural land use is depicted in Figure 4-1.
Evaluation
Recreation standards have been developed which indicate the amount
of various activity areas needed by a population; these standards have little
applicability to Edgewater since they were developed in major urban areas and
do not consider Edgewater's population make-up or desires.
It is recommended that a survey, formal or otherwise, be performed to
determine the adequacy of existing facilities. Placement of future recreation
areas should be based on the location of the utilizing population and the need
for buffers between conflicting land uses. Where possible, available sites
should be considered for their suitability as future recreation sites or open
space areas. Figure 10-1 also identifies proposed future recreation/open
space areas. Figure 10-2 identifies proposed future recreation/open space
utilizing existing city owned land and other areas which may be acquired for
recreation purposes.

CHAPTER 11
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION
el •
INTRODUCTION
The rate and character of growth and development is determined by
many public and private decisions made on the local, regional, state, and
national levels. Decisions determining planning policies and growth objectives
of one jurisdiction can have a significant impact on growth and development in
other localities. Many proposals for transportation facilities, recreation, public
services, and the environment must necessarily cross political boundaries.
Effective planning, therefore, requires coordination and cooperation
among several policy-making governmental agencies, and entities. The plans
and policies of the State, Region, County, and other local jurisdictions must be
reviewed to determine the relationships of goals and objectives and to identify
needs for continuing coordination.
- The recommendations and proposals identified in this plan were
formulated only after careful review of existing plans and proposals of relevant
governmental, management, and regulatory agencies. Figure 11-1 indicates
the coordination structure between the city and these other agencies.
In addition to the coordination of programs and plans at the county
region and state levels it is of prime importance for the city to develop
P P Y

.
coordination ro rams internal to the city government. This effort should
P 9
provide the city with addional management and planning capabilities that will
enhance the efficiency of government operations and an unnecessary
duplication and associate extra expense, by improving interdepartmental
communications.

Continuing Coordination
•
The City will continue
to cooperate with the following agencies :
1. Volusia Council of Governments(VCOGJ-The City of Edgewater is a
voting member of VCOG, which includes r
e resentativ
several cities and the county. VCOG is the principal mechanism for
1 1-2
formal intergovernmental coordination in VolusiaCounty.The basic
goal of the.Council is the "create the best possible living, working,
and leisure time environment for all residents of Volusia County."
One of the major elements of the Council's workprogram is to
develop a comprehensive Land Use Plan for the Coastal and West
Volusia Urban areas.
2. Intergovernmental Coordinating Committee -The Chairmen of each
local planning board in the County serve on this committee which
reviews and comments on local comprehensive plans and serves as
the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC under the Local
Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975.
3. Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) of the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) - The MPO is responsible for
conducting the transportation planning program for the Volusia
Coastal Area. Although not designated a voting member of the
MPO, the City of Edgewater
y is represented on the TCC which
reviews proposals and makes recommendation to the MPO
lip
concerning transportation matters of a technical nature.
4. A-95 Review - The Bureau of Intergovernmental Relations and the
East Central Florida Regional Planning Council serve as
clearinghouses to coordinate applications for federal assistance to
Local Governments.

LAND USE AND HOUSING ELEMENTS
Summary of Proposed Lands
This comprehensive plan covers the entire incorporated area of the City
of Edgewater, Florida. The inventory and analysis of data also includes
significant aspects of the surrouding area which may affect or be affected by
the city. This plan was prepared in accordance with the Florida Local
Government Comprehensive Planning Act. Accordingly, this document
includes information on such topics as land use, housing, transportation,
governmental services and natural resources. This study was made by the City
to determine the best future use of the land within it's boundaries. Upon
completion of the analysis of information relevant to each element of the plan,
specific growth management policies were developed to form legal basis from
which growth and development could,be controlled.This policy plan along with
a land use map and other supporting data will substantiate any future
recommendations made by the local planning agency,the planning and zoning
board and the city commission to provide for ammenities related to quality of
life and assure the proper growth direction of the city.
The growth management philosophy of the plan indicates the desired
time, rate and extent of growth determined by the carrying capacity of the city's
natural and man-made system. The carrying capacity was determined by the
availability of natural resources such as air, soil, water and space, and further
determined by available energy, waste disposal, sanitary sewers and other
essential services. In addition, the financial ability of the city to supply services
was also considered.
In each chapter of the plan, resources and restrictions are described for
various aspects of the total environment. An analysis of these resources and
•
restrictions in the application of the growth management philosphy produced
development goals and objectives for the city. The use goals and objectives
were further delineated by specific policies developed to assure the
achievement of the overall goals of the plan. These management goals,
objectives, and policies unify the plan by requiring consideration"of each
element when implementing this comprehensive plan.

Environmental Impact of the Proposed Plan
Including Adverse and Beneficial Impacts
With the adoption and implementation of the proposed plans by the City
and the incorporated policies and programs, the resultant impact could be a
substantial benefit to both the man-made and natural environments.The land
use and housing elements were developed to insure the highest maximum
benefit_ to the city in terms of improving the quality of the developed
environment, maintaining and protecting the natural environment, and
improving existing housing supply conditions. Specifically, the benefits that
will accrue from the land use plan include; direction of intensive growth to
selected locations in the city which are best suited for this type of development,
restructuring of the city's zoning and subdivision regulations to allow for better
intergration into the existing interstructure of the city, providing substantial
improvement to the existing water supply within the city, provide better
disposal of solid waste, improving the facilities for sanitary sewage disposal
and increasing the area served by these facilities, improving the transportation
access to the existing development, coordinating future transportation routes .
to serve the new development in a beneficial manner, decreasing the number
of unpaved surfaces in the city, a general improvement of air quality,
designation of park lands to better serve the recreation needs of the residents,
and providing for areas of conservation and preservation to protect the
remaining natural resources of the city and use these resources in a more
efficient manner.
Adverse Impacts
Generally, the adverse impacts associated with the plan are of a very
_short-term nature. These impacts include such short-term environmental
considerations as increased sedimentation and lowering of water quality, on a .
short term basis, during the various construction phases, temporarily
decreased air quality due to fugitive dust emmissions from cleared areas, and
inconveniences and disruption of traffic caused by construction activities.
In general, these adverse impacts are of a very short-term nature while
the benefits accrued from these activities will be of significance and of a long-
- term nature.
he.4 O
12-2
Un
aviodable Adverse Environmental Effects
Any community which is experiencing substantial growth can expect
some negative environmental impacts. These impacts include the loss of some
natural habitats for wild life and possible reduction of the quality of
environmentally.sensitive areas and natural resources. It can also be expected
that in some urbanizing areas, air quality could decrease and nusiances such
as noise, traffic, unsightly areas and odors could increase. However, these
factors will be minimized through the adoption and implementation of the plan
elements. In summary, though there may be some unavoidable adverse
environmental impacts to the city's citizenry and natural resources, the city's
proposed land use and housing elements should minimize these impacts.
Alternatives to the Proposed Policies and Plan
The land use and housing elements as prepared are growth
management documents for the best alternatives geared toward providing
public control over the development of the city. It is in the best interest to the
community. The document reflects the growth pressures that will most likely
be experienced by the City and presents a coordinated approach to guiding that
growth which will maximize the benefits to existing and future populations
while at the same time respecting the nature and potential of the natural
environment.
There are two other alternatives that were also considered in the.
development of this plan. The first alternative was to severely limit 'growth
within the city to the point that the city would have a no growth policy. This
alternative was viewed as being unacceptable and not in the best interest of
the city or the general population. The second alternative was for the city to
take an unrestricted growth approach and let market forces determine the
location, type and intensity of development throughout the city. This
alternative was also considered unacceptable in that serious adverse
environmental impacts would be accrued from the implementation of this type
of growth management philosophy. In addition, there would be of no use for
any long range planning or development controls for this alternative.
12-3
...,.....— •
Relationship of Short Term Uses to Long Term Productivity
The land use and housing elements for the city are directed toward
development goals to guide growth over the next 20 years. Although the plan
will certainly be modified numerous times within that period, the purpose of
the document is to develop policies for long term use and productivity of all the
city's resources both man-made and natural. Given this intent, the plan.
maximizes the long-term productivity of
Y the city's total environment. In
addition, the short-term use of this plan will provide a beginning basis from
which future long-term productivity will be enhanced.
Irreversible and Irretrievable Commitments of
Resources Resulting from Plan Implementation
Within the context of the land use and housing elements there are no
commitments of resources that could be considered as irreversible or
irretrievable by any recommended action of the program. To the contrary,both
plan elements are intended to maximize both the city's natural and man-made
resources.

,. ( A Statement of Compliance with the Federal Environmental Controls
The land use and housing elements are in general compliance with the
following federal and state environmental requirements. There are not any
general or specific aspects of the elements or the policies which would be in

HOUSING ELEMENT -
Summary of Proposed Plans
The-housing element was developed to become an integral part of the
comprehensive plan for the City of Edgewater.This element was developed to
meet.several-basic requirements, furnish pertinent data for use in establishing
the housing needs within the city. Second, to provide a more systematic
approach to understanding and solving housing problems currently existing
within°the city..A housing analysis was prepared by the city during the
planning:process. This survey indicated that only three units of the total
housing stock within the City of Edgewater were substandard. In addition, it
was=also established that single family dwellings predominate the housing
stock within the city with an apparent shortage of multi-family units.This lack
of miilti_.family units would indicate that mobile hornes.were being used to
meet the:housing needs of low income persons. .
Impact of Proposed Plans Including
:Discussion of Adverse and Beneficial Impacts
,There.are: no national register eligible properties within the City of
Edgewater. As such, implementation of the housing element is not expected to
have•any impact in relation to historic preservation. In addition, there were no
properties in'the state file listed as historic places.Therefore,there would also'
be no adverse::impacts as a result of implementation of this plan to state
historic,register properties:
Any Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
,flue to the lack of any historic sites of significance within the city there ,
will be no-adverse' i.rnpacts associated with implementation of the housing
element of the comprehensive plan.

Impact of Plans on Long-Term Maintenance of Properties
There will be no,impact on long-term maintenance of properties.
Statement of Compliance With Federal Controls Including:
As required by federal regulations any project for which federal funding
is requested must conform to the following regulations. Since there are no
existing historic properties or register eligible properties within the City of
Edgewater, compliance with federal controls is not applicable.
1. National Historic Preservation Act of 1964, Executive Order 11953
2.. Historic and Archeological Act of 1974
3. Protection of Historic and Cultrual Properties, Federal Register,
12574 39FR3366
Statement of State Controls
•
On the state level, historic and archeological sites on state lands or state
I —1)
owned sovereignty submerged lands are protected by the Florida Archives and
History Act, Chapter 267 Florida Statutes. In addition, the Florida
Environmental Land and Water Management Act of 1972, Chapter 380,
Florida Statues specifically provides provisions in the act relating` to
development of regional impact to areas of critical state concern.As a result of
no existing sites of significance occuring within the city, it is anticipated that
these acts are currently not applicable, however, if as a result of the further
development of the city areas of archeological and historic significance are
uncovered, these areas will be protected in accordance with the provisions of
these state acts.
Statement of Local Controls
At the present time, the City of Edgewater has no local controls with
regard to historic preservation. However, the County of Volusia has prepared
an historic preservation element under their development of a comprehensive
plan.As such, any activities which would indicate the need for preservation of
sites of historic or,archeological signficance that are discovered within the City
of Edgewater will be coordinated with the county and the state.
