Title
Resolution Approving Site Development Plan (SDP) for Veterans Community Park, 901 Park Avenue, Marco Island, FL 34145
Body
BACKGROUND:
At the City Council meeting of March 15, 2021, Council voted to continue the Resolution approving the SDP for Veterans Community Park for review at a later date.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Marco Island is requesting approval for a Site Development Plan (SDP) for Veterans Community Park. The 10.71-acre Master Plan for Veterans Community Park was approved by the City Council, and now is ready for approval of the construction phase, which includes Site Plan approval. Key elements included in the SDP are a band shell, restroom facility, parking (off street and street parking), multi-generational play areas, open space for events, landscaping, and pedestrian circulation.
The stormwater will be conveyed by a series of exfiltration pipes. These systems allow for more surface area for park programing while reducing stormwater runoff. The stormwater management system relies on exfiltration and consists of perforated pipe (18" and 24" diameter) which provides the required water quality volume (including the additional 50% due to discharging to an impaired water body), nutrient load reduction (51%), and storage to meet SFWMD standards.
PLANNING BOARD:
The Planning Board heard this item at the March 5, 2021 Planning Board meeting. The Planning Board discussed automobile circulation, maintenance of the park once complete, and the storm water engineering of the site. The Planning Board voted 7-0 to forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council with staff's conditions. They also recommended expanding the pavement at the intersection W. Elkcam Circle and E. Joy Circle to allow for turnaround movement of vehicles.
