Progress with St. John's River Water Management District
As discussed during the April 9th City Council workshop relative to canal
conditions and seawall repair issues, city administration is working diligently
with the St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD) in an effort
to solicit cooperation to help identify potential funding sources to assist with
financing improvement programs accordingly. The attached electronic mail
message compiled and delivered by City Engineer David Fisher, as well as
the memorandum from Doug Moulton, Camp, Dresser McKee provides a
synopsis of a meeting that took place last week with SJRWMD officials.
SJRWMD appears to be supportive of a City of Sebastian canal dredging
program and is therefore willing to meet with city officials very soon to
further discuss the matter, including the prospect of incorporating a funding
allocation via the agency's Fiscal Year 2003/2004 budget process. This
arrangement would essentially represent the first stage for establishing
partnership with SJRWMD to fund overall improvements to the Collier Creek
Waterway north of Sebastian Boulevard/County Road 512. Such
cooperation supports the notion of proceeding with a written policy
governing seawall repair responsibility - financial and otherwise. Specific
recommendations for authorization to proceed with formal funding requests,
as well as a general update regarding overall progress pertaining to this
matter will be offered during your May 28th meeting.
Department of Justice Police Universal Hiring Pro.qram
Some of you may recall authorization having been granted last year to
submit a grant proposal to the United States Department of Justice
Universal Hiring Program (UHP) to seek financial assistance to help the City
of Sebastian employ additional police officers in the community. I learned
several days ago that a grant award to fund one additional police officer
position is actually pending (as referenced in the attached spreadsheet from
City Council Information Letter
May 9, 2003
Page 2
the UHP office), with an award announcement anticipated to be issued
sometime in August or September. As a result of this available opportunity,
recommendations to sponsor an additional police officer position will be
offered via the Fiscal Year 2003/2004 Proposed Budget.
Revised Waste Management Collection Services Guide
Per concerns raised during your last meeting relative to the Waste
Management Service Guide anticipated to be delivered to Sebastian
residents next week, staff was able to speak with respective company
officials to direct revisions to the document accordingly. Additional
information includes instructions relative to placement of trash bags and
dilapidated furniture in front of homes in lieu of garbage cans (Garbage bags
are only unacceptable when discarding yard waste. Governmental Affairs
Director George Geletko informed my office that plastic bags are fine for
other forms of solid waste disposal). In addition, specific clarification
regarding holiday scheduling is included - service will not be available on
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's
Day. The attached copy of this service guide is anticipated to begin
circulation on May 15th. Until then, my office will be more than happy to
entertain other relevant ideas and/or recommendations that you may have
for possible inclusion. As far as the ability to recommend a final franchise
agreement, City Attorney Rich Stringer informed me earlier this week that
more time is necessary to compile a "solid" document. As such, it is now
anticipated that a final contract is to be presented during your June 11th
meeting - still well in advance of the July 1 st franchise start date.
Minor Modifications to United States Highway One
As reported several weeks ago, the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) recently directed additional minor infrastructure modifications to be
implemented on United States Highway One (US 1) and Sebastian
Boulevard/County Road 512 (CR 512). The attached letter as compiled and
delivered by Mr. Jonathan Overton, FDOT Assistant Traffic Operations
Engineer succinctly outlines the program, to include construction of an
exclusive southbound right turn lane. Also, plans include a relocation of the
west curb and gutter of an adjacent median two feet to the east to
accommodate the right turn lane. Any disturbed landscaping and irrigation
will be replaced. The project will conclude with an installation of a triangular
concrete island in the west leg. This aspect of the modification is necessary
City Council Information Letter
May 9, 2003
Page 3
to help facilitate better vehicular movement in making a westbound turn.
FDOT has commissioned Ranger Construction to implement respective
tasks. Work will begin in the coming days and is anticipated to be
completed circa June 9th.
Florida City/County Management Association Conference
As I will be representing the City of Sebastian at this year's Florida
City/County Management Association Conference in Daytona Beach, please
be advised that I will be out of the office Thursday, May 15th and Friday, May
16th. I will return to Sebastian Saturday evening May 17th. As such, no
information letter will be delivered next week. Executive Assistant Jean
Tarbell will have my information regarding conference venue and
accommodations. Of course, any of you may feel free to contact me via
cellular telephone should the need arise to speak with me personally during
this time.

General Outcome of Meeting with SJRWMD Today
Further to recent discussion regarding the importance we have attached to the meeting with SJRWMD scheduled for
today in Palm Bay, the following is a very general summary of the outcome:
The general outcome of the meeting for the City of Sebastian can only be considered excellent. We projected a
very positive approach and they responded in kind. D. Fisher and K. Jones attended for the City; CDM had Mike
Schmitt, Brian Mack, Eric Grotke, and Doug Moulton; SJRWMD had Whit Green, Fariborz Zanganeh, and Troy
Price. We met for approximately two hours.
· There are no difficult permitting issues anticipated regarding the implementation of our drafted MSWMP (Master
Stormwater Management Plan).
SJRWMD will be supportive of our canal dredging plan and is willing to meet with us very soon (next week) to
discuss the matter, including putting a request for funding assistance in their own budget for the coming fiscal
year. (Their fiscal year begins on 1 October and they are currently in the midst of their own budget process.)
We are now moving forward to do a soil sample survey in the Collier Creek Canal. The boundary survey can
wait until the debate on the ordinance takes form and further policy decisions are made. There may be some
modification to the standards for seawall installation as currently outlined in the Cape Coral ordinance.
We are going forward with CDM in quantifying benefits to the MSWMP from the canal dredging that can also
benefit the City's SWU by reducing the volume and cost of other retention / detention facility improvements
otherwise called for in the Plan.
· We concluded there is no great benefit in the City acquiring wetlands for "wetland banking" purposes. Therefore
recommend we remove that item from any further budget discussions.
We discussed the elements of a public education program regarding stormwater and related matters. This is
important to SJRWMD as a good "non-structural BMP". A good attitude, data, and a proactive approach will
serve us well in our dealings with SJRWMD.
We have asked Eric Grotke of CDM to be here on Friday this week, 2 May 03, to meet with us for the purpose of
further briefing and discussion with the City Manager. Think it would be good to have other key members of the
management team there as well. The calendar scheduling exercise will be coming to you shortly.
If you have further questions, please respond by return email. CDM is writing up the official minutes of the meeting.

This meeting was to discuss three topics: 1) SJRWMD comments on the City of Sebastian
Stormwater Master Plan, 2) Treatment requirements for replacement of swales with curbs and
3) Conversion of primary canals into wet detention facilities. It is noted that these topics were
allied and there was significant cross over from one topic to another during the meeting.

Meeting Minutes
April 29, 2003
Page 2
Initially, introductions were made around the table and a brief overview of the topics to be
covered was given. Meeting agenda and responses to District's comments to Master Plan
were distributed.
Master Plan Comments:
Doug Moulton read through the comments and responses to the Master Plan (see attached).
There was some discussion at comment/response 2 - the SJRWMD has set a pollutant load
reduction goal (PLRG) to reduce flows (color), TSS and nutrients by 65 percent. Whit Green
stated that this was an ideal target and would facilitate compliance when TMDLs are in place.
It was further stated that the 65 percent reduction would bring loading to historical levels.
Additionally, there was a comment that if the primary canals are "converted" to a wet
detention system, the reduction goal may be closer as well.
Whit Green asked for clarification concerning the modeling of Adam's Parcel. Doug Moulton
stated that it was modeled in the future conditions WMM only.
With regards to converting swales to curbs, Whit Green stated that in addition to the loss of
treatment associated with the swales another concern was the increase in the freshwater load
to Indian River Lagoon. It was stated that largely the problem was one of "optical pollution".
There is a coloring of water associated with a number of parameters, TSS and Chlorophyll a
for example. The discharging of this colored water tends to reduce the light penetration in
the Lagoon and negatively impacts sea grass. It was stated that Margie Lasi, of SJRWMD, is
going to be conducting a study of the effects of color on the Lagoon.
The use of existing borrow pits as detention ponds was spoken about. It was mentioned that
a developer had approached SJRWMD staff with the proposal that an existing borrow pit
could be used as a wet detention pond for a proposed development around its perimeter. The
SJRWMD didn't feel this was appropriate. Fariborz Zanganeh offered the reason that the
depth of the borrow pits was excessive, and it was likely that stratification and a reduction in
removal efficiency would be observed. It was stated that if these borrow pits were to be used
as retrofit for an existing development the SJRWMD would be more amenable to their being
used, with appropriate modifications i.e. fountains or some method to ensure that there is
sufficient mixing and aeration to reduce the likelihood of stratification. To be used as the
treatment for a newly proposed development, it would be necessary to follow the SJRWMD
rule i.e. mean depth (pond volume divided by surface area at control volume) between 2 and
8 feet with a maximum depth of 12 feet. It was also mentioned that the borrow pits were
isolated from any existing outfall.
There was some discussion concerning the runoff coefficient that Whit Green had calculated
for the Elkcam basin (3540 acres). This basin is largely medium density residential (single
family). The value determined was 0.143 (annual average) this value was contrasted with the
value determined by Harvey Harper in his 1994 study (Stormwater Loading Rate Parameters
Document code
Meeting Minutes
April 29, 2003
Page 3
for Central and South Florida) 0.373. Whit Green stated that he had taken baseflow into
account. Whit had made the case, based upon this runoff coefficient, that there was
significant infiltration within this basin. The implication being that the swale system was
largely responsible for this infiltration. CDM will review runoff coefficient calculations.
It was noted that approximately 90 percent of the City is being served by septic tanks systems.
The effect of septic systems on the quantity and quality of the runoff was noted. A question
was posed if the District has any mechanisms to fund any sort of migration to a regional
wastewater treatment plant. There are no mechanisms.
Swale to Curb Conversion:
It was stated that there was approximately 300 miles of swale within the City. Primarily the
soils within the City are in the hydrologic soil group B/D. Much of these soils drain poorly
and cause public health issues with flooding and standing water. Any swales that are located
in A or B soils and appear to be infiltrating should remain. It is estimated that approximately
60 percent (or 180 miles) of the existing swales could be candidates for replacement. The
swales to be replaced should be non-functional typically in B/D soils.
Discussion of the level of compensating storage and treatment was considered. Overall it was
felt that a "balance sheet" of storage gained (BMP construction/ditch conversion) vs. storage
lost (swale replacement) be maintained. Fariborz Zanganeh indicated that a larger
basin/Citywide accounting, as opposed to a particular project area, would be preferred.
Whit Green indicated that ff the primary canals were going to be used as compensating
treatment it would be necessary to provide more treatment volume than merely matching the
swale volume if SJRWMD funds were obtained for the conversion of primary canal
conversion to wet detention facilities (dredging).
In addition to conversion of canals to wet detention, recharge was mentioned as a means to
provide additional storage, Mike Schmidt mentioned that it might be possible to include
recharge wells and noted that this was done in Boynton Beach. This area had some concerns
with saltwater intrusion and this fact allowed for the recharge well to be permitted by FDEP.
It was noted that obtaining a recharge well permit may prove to be quite challenging.
Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) may also be considered, however, it was noted that the
runoff must be treated to drinking water standards if the injection well discharges into
underground source of drinking water (USDW). This could prove to be cost prohibitive.
Reuse was mentioned as a viable alternative to be considered to account for some of the lost
storage. As opposed to a regional reuse facility a question was posed concerning the number
of irrigation pumps that use the primary canals as a source. This use of runoff could provide
additional storage that could be applied to the balance sheet. Ken Jones pointed out that
typically when the canals are full and in need of volume reduction, i.e. in the wet season,
Document code

April 29, 2003

there is little need for landscape irrigation. SJRWMD acknowledged that this may not be
beneficial.
The use of underdrains was discussed as an alternative to swale replacement. This was
initially greeted with some enthusiasm, however it was noted that underdrains typically have
a rather short life without significant maintenance. Whit Green noted a variation of
underdrains, that is a sewer pipe with ditch bottom inlets. It is noted that a similar
configuration (Rural-Section see Figure 3-4 in Master Plan) was investigated in the Master
Plan.
Conversion of Drainage Canals -to Wet Detention:
Dave Fisher discussed the condition of the seawalls lining the main canals and the various
alternatives for replacing the damaged seawalls. The City could obtain control of the seawalls
and replace them or the City could pass an ordinance that would require the residents to
replace the seawalls as needed. Overall it was felt that having the City assuming
responsibility for the seawalls would result in a more consistent seawall as well as provide
the opportunity to dredge the canals in one overall operation. The water quality benefit of
dredging the primary canals was discussed.
Doug Moulton noted that the existing retention time for Collier Canal north of CR512 is
approximately 12 days and the various proposed dredged cross sections could increase the
minimum retention time to 23 days.
Fariborz Zanganeh indicated that the conversion of the canal system to wet detention system
should be permitable provided that no significant wetland impacts were observed or existing
flood stages increased. It was stated that there were similar projects in Palm Bay ("Emerson
Drive" - modification of a two lane road to a four lane - the existing roadside conveyance
system was converted to wet detention system.). There are two main concerns for such a
project: 1) that existing flood stages are not increased, and 2) that possible adjacent wetlands
are not impacted. Additionally, Fariborz Zanganeh also stated that there should be adequate
right of way and maintenance access. Fariborz Zanganeh stated that it would be required to
modify the existing structure to provide a means to pass the base flow and to bleed down the
live pool volume.
It was stated that the City was going to sample and characterize the sediments in the portion
of Collier Canal currently being considered for dredging. It was suggested that the organic
and metal content of the sediments should be quantified.

Miscellaneous Comments:
Color
Subsequent to the comment that the color of the runoff is the key problem, Mike Schmidt
speculated that a "color BMP" might be considered (e.g. chemical treatment for color at canal
ouffatls or in the canals might be considered).
Funding
It was stated that there were two funding sources available to possibly fund the canal
dredging: 1) funding from the SJRWMD directly and 2) the Indian River Lagoon license plate
fund. The following paragraph gives some indication of the requirements for requesting
District funds. It was noted that not much information was given concerning the license plate
funds. This will require further investigation.
It was noted that there is not SJRWMD money available for the current year, however the next
years budget is being developed and will be voted on by the SJRWMD's governing board in
June.
In order to apply for funding from the SJRWMD, a proposal should be sent to Troy Rice. The
proposal should include a description of the overall project, for example all the canals, not
just the canal currently under consideration. The proposal should also discuss the potential
benefit the project will provide. There is a requirement that the City will need to match grant
funds, this matching can be provided by either money or value added. It was thought that
the City's replacement of the seawalls and the providing of a disposal site for the dredged
material would be sufficient. The proposal must state, specifically, how much money is being
requested. As the SJRWMD's board votes on the upcoming year's budget in June, it would be
advantageous to submit the proposal as soon as possible. Mention should be made that the
improvements are considered a phase of the Master Plan Improvements.
Field Visit
Dave Fisher invited SJRWMD staff to a field investigation of the Collier Canal. It is proposed
that this take place within the next two weeks.
Potential Wetland Purchase
Dave Fisher stated that there was the possibility of purchasing a wetland area north of the
City Hall. He wondered if there would be any utility in obtaining this land in order to have
wetlands with mitigation bank potential for any projects within the City. The benefit of
purchasing this land is somewhat difficult to quantify. It was felt if there were significant
wetland impacts in any of the project areas, that it might be reasonable to purchase the land.
However, it was also noted that there are several other issues at play including the condition
of the purchased wetlands - preserving wetlands is not nearly as favorable as restoring
wetlands, often the mitigation requirement is 4 to 10 times the impacted area - thus there may
not be sufficient wetlands. It was stated that if the land could be purchased and serve a dual
Document code

Page 6
purpose, recreational and possible wetland mitigation, that this might be a safer option. It
was stated that Todd Gipe, of SJRWMD, would be the person to discuss the potential
purchase of such areas.
Riverfront Area
Ken Jones mentioned that the City was considering retrofitting portions of the Riverfront
area. Typically, there is little in the way of treatment in this area. Various possibilities were
considered, including using baffle boxes or alternative end of pipe technologies (CDS units).
Whit Green was positive with respect to improvements in this area, but noted that the model
domain of the City was more significant with respects to the 65 percent reduction as it
drained to the South Prong of the Sebastian River and this was the SJRWMD's greater
concern. It was stated that there may be grant money available through FDEP's 319 grant and
possibly from the Community Block Development.
Non -Structural BMPs
Whit Green noted that the description of non-structural BMPs was not fully treated in the
Master Plan. He offered a number of suggestions including visiting the Florida Yards and
Neighborhood Program web site (http://indian.ifas.ufl.edu/), use of vegetative buffer strips,
public education and/or ordinances and street sweeping. It was noted that there might be
some benefit to creating a vegetative buffer strip adjacent to canal/back yard ditches that this
could result in less broadcasting of fertilizer into canals. The possibility of including some
variation of a vegetative strip in the new seawall ordinance was suggested. It was also
mentioned that Dan Hayes, of SJRWMD, was the education coordinator of the District and
would be available to cooperate with the City in public education issues.
Action Items:
· Obtain copy of Emerson Drive Permit Application from SJRWMD and clarify criteria for
canal conversion to wet detention.
· Review calculation of runoff coefficient of the Elkcam watershed and discuss with
SJRWMD.
· Verify EMC values for "forested/rural open" TP and DP.
· Overlay NWI coverage on canal systems and estimate potential wetland impacts.
· Funding assistance proposal preparation/investigation
· Update/refine SWMP with consensus items discussed:
· Update Table of Contents to reflect addition of Appendix K.

City of Sebastian SWMP - District Comments and Responses
CDM has reviewed and responded to the comments made by the St. Johns River Water
Management District (SJRWMD) concerning the City of Sebastian Stormwater
Management Plan. SJRWMD comments have been paraphrased with their original
comments on file.
District Comments:
· Comment 1: Figure J-2 does not indicate that the Adam's Parcel Stormwater Park and the
Stonecrop Stormwater facility were included in the Watershed Management Model
(WMM) input files.
· Response 1: The Adam's Parcel Stormwater Park was included in the future conditions
WMM. Stonecrop was not included. Stonecrop will be incorporated in the modeling.
Figure J-2 shows the ponds that were proposed in the analysis. The existing condition
BMP is implied and shown in Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3 will be updated to include the
representation of Stonecrop.
· Comment 2: To achieve the 65 percent total suspended solids (TSS) and nutrients
reduction goal alternative methodologies should be examined. These could include:
baffle boxes, combined sewers (routing stormwater to treatment plants) and annexation
of parcels suited for BMP construction but not currently within City limits.
Response 2: It is agreed that in order to achieve a 65 percent reduction in mass loading,
additional methodologies would need to be examined, however, the focus of this study
was on improved flood control and the identification of facilities that could provide both
flood control and water quality retrofit (dual purpose facilities). The focus of the water
quality investigation was not to identify BMPs needed to achieve a 65 percent reduction
in TSS and nutrient mass loading. There was also a conceptual water quality
improvement retrofit task, where the aerial photographs were reviewed for areas that
could provide opportunities for water quality improvement - these improvements were
wet detention ponds. It is noted that this task did include several ponds sited outside
D:\Projects\20582\33054\Third_Addendum\Mem_03Apri125,doc
Dave Fisher
April 25, 2003
Page 2
the southwestern boundary of the City. The quantification of the potential reduction in
mass loading was a function of the potential pond sites rather than an overall reduction
goal.
Comment 3: During dry season conditions, the roadside swales appear to be working
quite well at reducing the volume and, therefore, the loading attributable to stormwater
runoff. Evidence of this exists in data collected by Environmental Research and Design
for the City and District. The runoff coefficient calculated from measured data in the
Stonecrop watershed (October 2001 - May 2002) is 0.120. The runoff coefficient
calculated from measured data in the Elkcam Dam watershed (June 2001 - June 2002) is
0.143. In the Elkcam Dam watershed, the runoff coefficient increased from a dry season
average of 0.097 to a wet season average of 0.198. This shows that the swales are serving
to infiltrate runoff into the soils during part of the year.
Response 3: The calculated runoff coefficients indicate that there is significant infiltration
provided in this basin. However, based the apparent peak in the baseflow, typically 3-4
days past the peak of the rainfall event, one would suspect a significant portion of the
runoff is passing through some the surfical aquifer ultimately ending, in the Stonecrop
facility. If one considers the baseflow during periods of no rain, it would appear that
swales and/or ditches are intercepting the groundwater table. It is assumed that the
groundwater table would be notably higher in the wet season resulting in higher base
flows. This would also validate, to a certain extent, the complaint of water standing in
swales.
Comment 4: The WMM residential land use categories do not appear to be consistent
with FLUCCS codes. Specifically, land zoned RM-8 would be more appropriately
represented as high density and RS-10 would be more appropriately represented as
medium density.
Response 4: These statements appear to be correct. It is noted that the water quality
model was not calibrated to measured data, thus the modeling is a relative reduction
rather than absolute. However, as the WMM is being updated to include Stonecrop, the
residential areas zoned RM-8 will be updated to the high-density residential EMC value
and those areas zoned RS-10 will be updated to the medium density EMC value.
Comment 5: Alternative for Problem Area No. 6 - increasing the rate of inflow into the
Stonecrop facility may not be allowable from both a water management and water
quality perspective.
· Response 5: This project would require a modification to an existing District permit.
Background work prior to applying for such a permit modification would have to be
made. Subsequent to this investigation and in consultation with District staff in a pre-
s:\6116\30299\Cor\Mem_O1Jan25.doc
Dave Fisher
April 25, 2003
Page 3
application meeting the requirements for the success of this effort would be evaluated.
Once the specific requirements are determined, a decision will be made regarding the
pursuit of this permit modification. It is noted that District staff have also indicated that
there are significant wetlands that would be impacted by increasing the runoff into
Stonecrop.
Comment 6: Master plan states assumption that all future development will receive
treatment by wet detention. However, construction of single-family residences not part
of some larger development are exempt from providing runoff treatment.
Response 6: A review of the aerial photography indicated many undeveloped lots within
the established portion of the City. The land use (i.e. EMC value) for these areas for both
the existing and future conditions is constant. Similarly, the BMP for these area also
remains constant - swales. The new development referred to by this assumption would
be locations currently undeveloped. If one compares Figures 4-3 and 4-4 it can be seen
that the new areas with wet detention treatment occur in currently undeveloped areas.
Comment 7: There is a discrepancy between the total number of acres available for
development between the existing and future conditions noted in the text (page 4-13)
and Table 4-13.
Response 7: The statement on page 4-13 appears to be incorrect. Based upon GIS
analysis of existing and future land use, the values reported in the table are accurate.
The statement will be corrected in the report.
Comment 8: It appears that the inclusion of septic tank impacts results in a decreased DP
and TP loading for sub-basins IRL2, IRL3 and S.Prong2. There is also an apparent
decrease in flow, DP and TP from the Existing conditions with BMPs compared with the
Future conditions with BMPs.
Response 8: This is counter intuitive and a spot check of land use change, percent
impervious and EMC values indicate that the loading should, as expected, increase
between these scenarios. The WMM is currently being updated with the modifications
noted earlier (EMC values and Stonecrop facility) during the update the input files will
be closely scrutinized for possible causes for this misrepresentation.

Tired of trekking to the dumpster?
Choose convenient curbside service instead.
Starting July 1, 2003--you can give yourself a break from
hauling your own garbage. Just follow some simple curbside
procedures and watch it all disappear every week. See the enclosed
service guide for more details on garbage and yard waste services.
Meanwhile--here are a few highlights
Here is what you get for just 10.75 a month:
Twice a week curbside garbage service
That means you can set as many garbage cans curbside (32
gallon with lids)--as long as they weigh no more than 50 lbs each.
What about the big stuff--like a broken coffee table or a well-worn
chair? That too is collected--curbside. For pickups of larger loads
or for old appliances, please give us a call for a special pickup.
Once a week yard waste service--on Wednesday
Just place small yard debris curbside, in a container, every
Wednesday. A 32-gallon garbage can is the best choice. Boxes are
okay too.
For bush and tree limbs less than 3" in diameter, just bundle, tie
and stack curbside. Make sure all containers and bundles weigh no
more than 50 lbs each.
So instead of messing your vehicle with loose yard residue, just
place yard waste curbside for Waste Management to take away.

Dear Mr. Ten'once:
Subject: State Section: 88010; State Road 5 (US-l)
At CR-512 (Sebastiat~ Boulevard)
Indian River County
City of Sebastian
Project,to eonstruc_t_southbound r~P.3ht turn
This is in response to your letter dated April 23, 2003 indicating that the city does not support the
construction of a southbound right turn lane at the subject intersection beeau~ the con~tmetion work
would disturb the recently constructed median on US 1 and the southwest intersection, return.
tn a telephone coni~c'rsat/on today with you and your staff, we di~cmsed possible project concept
revisions. We now unc~smud that the city will support a minor construction project that includes the
.following scope at the subject intersection:
1. Construct an exclusive southbound right turn lane.
Relocate the west curb and gutter of the US ! median two (2) feet to the east to accommodate the
above right mm lane. Any disturbed landscaping and irrigation will be replaoed.
3. Construct a tr/magu[ar concrete islaud in the west leg.
As a result of not disturbing the area in the southwest comer of thh intersection, we will not be able to
provide a $ignaI/zed pedestrian crosswalk for CR-512 ·
The project will be built through our push-button contract and we anticipate the completion of this work
by .hme 9, 2003.
