The Grove Counseling Center, Inc. has a Site Plan under review for an addition
to their existing facilities. At present, the City does not have water lines
on the Old Sanford/OViedo Road. Therefore, a waiver to Section 14-124 (c) in
regards to fire hydrants, storage capacity and escrow requirements is being
requested.
SECTION 14-124. REQUIREMENTS FOR WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS
(c) . . . . . . . . Sufficient storage and/or emergency
pumping facilities shall be provided to such an
extent that the minimum fire flows will be
maintained for at least four ( 4 ) hours. The
requirement for f ire hydrants may be waived
temporarily be City Council upon recommendation
of the Fire Chief in areas where adequate mains
are not available, but in such case, the builder
must place in escrow an amount equal to the cost
of such hydrants plus an additional twenty-five
( 25) percent to provide for their connection as
soon as adequate mains become available, and such
funds may be used for no other purpose. In any
case, the distribution system shall comply with
the above requirements.

The attached letter from The Grove Counseling Center.Inc.. dated March 4.
1988 and Captain Dallas' letter to the land development coordinator dated
February 24. 1988 is furnished for your information.
Section 14-124 of the Land Development Code requires a fire flow of one
thousand. two hundred fifty (1,250) gallons per minute in commercial, instit-
utional or industrial areas at each user point of delivery adjacent to the
distribution system.
My interpretation of this section of the code is that it refers to devel-
opers or to already installed distribution systems. To rigidly inforce this
code on a single project of this nature is. I feel. an impractical application
of the intent of the code. By that I mean to require that the stated fire
flow would. in place of a water distribution system. require a water storage
tank of three hundred thousand (300.000) gallons.
The type of structure. construction type. use. and compliance with the
Life Safety Code should offset the need and the expense of such water capacity
for this project.
I therefore concur in granting the Grove Counseling Center, Inc. their
request for a waiver as stated and recommend the installation of a water
st~rage tank of 10,000 gallons as was discussed in our meeting with them of
February 18, 1988.

Dear Chief Holzman:
I am writing to request a waiver to Section 14-124 of the
winter Springs Land Development Code.
e
As per our discussion of February 18, 1988, I am requesting
permission to install a 5,000 - 10,000 gallon water storage
tank on site at 580 Old Sanford/Oviedo Road in lieu of a
fire hydrant connected to city water supply. I am making
this request in connection with our site plan for construction
of a new adolescent treatment facility.
At present our water supply comes from a 411 well on the
premises. Our site is located one fourth to one half mile
from the nearest city water supply. The cost of installing
water pipes over that distance as well as boring and jacking
under a railroad track is prohibitive for us and the neigh-
.boring businesses. As you know we are a charitable organi-
zation and rely on contributions to fund the project in
question.
If you agree to our request, please take whatever steps
are necessary to proceed with full City approval. Thank
you, in advance, for your prompt consideration.
Sincerely,

DRAINAGE PROB~MS SUGARTREE
(ALTON AVE. - RESIDENT COMPLAINT)
FROM:
REF:
1. We have again received a complaint from a resident of Alton -
mainly that the backyard - patio/pool frequently becomes flooded as
a result of wet weather. The resident felt that the City approved the
home and consequently the drainage is our problem regardless of the fact
that actually the problem is on private property. It is also noted
that there was some $12,000.00 placed in the budget to correct the
problem.
2. I explained that I would not accept liability for the water on the
property and that the $12,000.00 was budgeted in the event there was
an easement between the two streets. There is not. The subject ease-
ment is a utility and not a drainage easement. Additionally. there
appears to have been changes in the grading - pools have been installed,
and fences erected on many lots. Finally, property owners that do not
experience a drainage problem feel it is not their problem.
3. A workable solution would be for each problem lot to be underdrained
by the owner, the water brought to the front of the property. hence into
a pipe manifold that could be tapped into a manhole inlet. Once in the
right of way the city could handle the problem.
4. I do not recommend the city fund work or perform work on private
property. The commission would be inundated with demands for remedial
drainage action from property owners throughout the city.
5. I will discuss this item and seek direction at the next meeting.
