NATURAL FEATURES OF WINTER SPRINGS:
Koch stated that over the next few weeks we will have technical experts present
information about the City's natural features for the Board's benefit.
L. Kozlov, City Engineer, spoke on the surface waters of the City of Winter
Springs.
Kozlov stated that our water is regulated by the st. John's River Water
Management District and also by the Department of Environmental Regulation, and
these tw::> departments work hand in hand. All developers have to comply to
these department's laws.
Kozlov stated that the City has several natural water bodies, Lake Jesup,
HOI/I1ell Creek, and Gee Creek. There are various wetlands that are associated
wi th these water bodies. These wetlands form water basins wi thin the City.
He stated that the matter that the City is involved in is stormwater control,
which is governed by State Law and the St. John's River Water Management
Distr ict . There are tw::> phases of stormwater, one being retention and the
other being detention. Retention retains water for pollution concerns and
detention controls the flow in a natural direction into creeks or lakes. As an
example there is a natural condition for run-off and when land is develoPed an
impervious condition is created and detention controls the run-off to be the
same rate or less as existed before the land was develoPed.
Kozlov explained the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), relating to
flood prone areas. The City has a requirement that all finish floor elevations
have to be one and one-half feet above the 100 year flood elevation. Also, the
finished floor elevation has to be twenty-four inches above the crown of the
road for proper flow. The flood prone areas depend upon the soil type.
