SUMMARY
As the City has moved forward with the Presidential Street Project, the City was required to
receive permitting from SJRWMD. As part of the water management district's permit process, the
City received notice that the permit may be challenged by Dr. John Peden, who owns property at
1200 Indian River Drive (See attached diagram).
In researching the complaint, staff determined that it is within the City's right to utilize the
Washington Street outfall to discharge stormwater as the area is within an FDOT easement.
However, Dr. Peden argues that if the City brings additional stormwater, his property is negatively
impacted. Staff is of the opinion that the best option for the project is to pipe the outfall in order to
protect both parcels (Dr. Peden's property and Tiki Bar) from effects of potential erosion.
In designing this project, the City opted not to make this easement improvement because (1) it is
FDOT easement; and, (2) would increase project costs. In light of the potential blockage of the
permit and because the best design corrects this situation, staff believes that the easement
should be improved. The cost of absorbing this project will be realized by being able to move
forward with the project quickly and avoiding potential permit challenge costs.
Toward that resolution, staff and Dr. Peden have reached an agreement whereby the project can
move forward, provided that the City immediately incorporate the Washington Drainage Outfall
Improvements into the scope of the project. It is estimated that the scope of these improvements
is $10,000, which can be later shared between the City and FDOT.
