Exalt Health Summerfield Site Plan Waivers

Original title: Exalt Health Summerfield - Major Site Plan #000600 - Waiver to Major Site Plan in Review Parcel #: 47696-000-00 #WaiverPIR-000824-2026 Kimley-Horn and Associates LDC 6.8.7 - Parking areas and vehicular use areas CODE states A minimum five-foot wide landscape area consisting of shrubs and groundcovers, excluding turfgrass, shall be provided around the perimeter of parking areas to form a landscape screen with a minimum height of three feet achieved within one year of planting. A land use buffer that abuts a parking area may satisfy this requirement. APPLICANT requests a waiver from landscape requirement behind perimeter parking on north side of the site where a retaining wall is proposed. There is additional landscaping proposed beyond the wall and the adjacent parcel is commercial. This section of perimeter parking faces the back of adjacent property building. LDC 6.12.12.D. - Sidewalks CODE states At the discretion of the Development Review Committee, in lieu of construction along external streets, the developer may pay a sidewalk fee to the County in an amount necessary to complete construction. This amount shall be determined by the project engineer and approved by the County with payment required prior to final plan approval. The County may use these funds toward the construction of sidewalks throughout the County based on priorities established by the Board. APPLICANT requests a waiver to pay fee in-lieu of sidewalk construction along US 441. There are no existing sidewalks adjacent to the project boundary. LDC 6.13.7.B. - Geotechnical Criteria CODE states Minimum requirements. (1) Depth. Soil test borings shall be performed to a minimum depth of 10 feet below the proposed finished grade of the bottom of all retention/detention areas or the permanent pool elevation and once the data has been obtained the hole shall be backfilled and compacted. (2) Number of tests. At least two tests shall be performed within the boundary of each proposed retention/detention area. For each half acre of pond bottom area and for each lineal retention/detention area of 250 feet, an additional test shall be conducted. The County Engineer or his designee, may require additional tests if the initial tests indicate the need for them. (3) Infiltration/permeability tests. For retention/detention areas utilizing percolation or infiltration in the design model, there shall be a minimum of two infiltration rate tests for each retention/detention area. Data used for soil permeability testing or infiltration analyses for the retention/detention areas shall be signed and sealed by a professional engineer or professional geologist for both data and procedural accuracy. (4) Aquifer parameters. The estimated seasonal high ground water elevation and confining layer shall be clearly identified. APPLICANT requests waiver to have the second Auger location count towards the minimum requirements (two infiltration tests for each retention/detention area), despite being slightly outside the dry retention area footprint (< 30 LF). The borings are consistent and show good quality sand down to 12'. The pond is only proposed to be 6' in depth. The auger location is sufficient in determining the soil for the pond area.
