    Bettmar Acres stormwater utility assessment clarification

    Jack Mariano Miss question. Mm-hmm. We like golf courses and we've designed a lot of them to take rainwater, stormwater Um Reclaim water. Why would we tax them for stormwater utility if they're actually part of the solution for stormwater? Because they're

    Bettmar Acres stormwater utility assessment clarification

    Jack Mariano Okay. And and and you know what golf courses is are I know elsewhere around the struggle. So I think it's I think it's good to take a burden off 'em if we can. Um and if and again, because they're actually helping the stormwater situation. I don't think we should be taxing them for what they're helping on. But yeah, if you want to bring it back, that'd be great.

    adjourn meeting and close

    Jack Mariano Ways and wildlife depend on you to keep them healthy. Excess fertilizer, grass clippings, trash, oils, and pet waste wash into gutters and storm drains when it rains. Stormwater carries these pollutants directly into our lakes and rivers creating unfortunate.

    Local state of emergency for Tropical Storm Halene

    Jack Mariano Yes, it won't this way here. Yes, exactly. This way here it won't travel that way. Exactly. It's going to flood it all down. So now it can actually control the water there. And just like we did over at Arburdale, you can create a stormwater pond right there that you cover over the sludge so it's environmentally safer than it is. even right now, because if all that if all the stormwater goes in, let's say it all floods out and goes all in there, all that stormwater sludge is still gonna go downhill too. So now you get health. But if you cover that over with the dirt and put more dirt over the top of it, you make it protect better and you can contain a lot more water right there where right now it's just going to go downstream and have that conflict.

    P78Zoning Amendment (Regular) - Beacon Woods East MPUD - Lowman Links, Inc. - A Modification to the MPUD Master Plan (Map H) and Conditions of Approval to Set Forth Passive Uses, and Regulations Regarding the Same, That May Occur in Specific Golf Course Areas

    Jack Mariano So I'd as soon remand this back into the conditions that already been stated and also to study the stormwater plan that was already approved and what the effect would be to allow all these trees as pine trees in the stormwater ponds. If they want to put other trees in there, I think that's a good thing. And we can do that through even a tree mitigation fund. I'd even sponsor that. But to have pine trees and stormwater ponds to me does not work.

    R26-232 National Public Works Week

    Jack Mariano in favor say aye. Aye. Thank you. I'd like to say that uh you know this morning on on the radio talking about things we're gonna talk about, I was very proud to say the recognition public works was gonna get today. Didn't know we had this many people coming forward, but I'm glad you're all here to hear it. Um You know, yesterday we had a meeting with a stormwater project, the septic to sewer project, combining together with Sea Pines. We had experts from the stormwater side, we had people from the septic to sewer side working together to try to bring the project, which so many things Need to happen together. And Brantford, when you brought it up years ago, we don't want to do a road project unless we're gonna look at the stormwater to go with it. Uh so the between the stormwater sidewalk projects coordinate everything. I think the way we're running things now is absolutely phenomenal. And what you guys do out there day in and day out, you've made my life so much easier from 2004 when we had those four hurricanes, all the storms we've had in the years between. I used to have a loop that would take me like eight hours to go from the top of the county down

    Bettmar Acres stormwater utility assessment clarification

    Jack Mariano And we're just giving 'em so I get it. I think we should take a look at that because I think if I'm gonna have a golf course it's gonna take stormwater like I want 'em to, like Seven Springs, Timber Oaks used to. Um, it's a benefit to us and We're really trying to tax the ones that don't and all the people around it, the ERUs where they will condensed. They're paying their ERU, so I think I think it's something that she'll take a look at and bring back. Okay.

    P60Cranes Roost, PVAS No. 3346 (Regular) — Board of County Commissioners — Board Initiated Public Hearing — $636,785.00

    Jack Mariano And we also said we're gonna make sure we did the stormwater improvements that had to be done too. Matter of fact, the first set of things that were done on holiday, I didn't even vote for it because I didn't think the stormwater stuff was done.

    R2 Port Richey waterfront dredging project

    Jack Mariano that goes all the way down there. was one that is an integral part as far as water quality goes. That would actually take stormwater out into the Gulf and create more flow into the Gulf. The other channels to above would help with water quality substantially. And Commissioner Weightmany times, and you made the comment before, as far as I am okay to do dredging with with stormwater funds and and to making sure we are dredging these canals out there, they are going to help with the with stormwater. And the Commission supported step uh the state expenditure plan for part three for the Port Ritchie outfall. Everybody's seen the map and I want to say staff is doing a phenomenal job tying those in together working with Swift Mud. Uh in the meeting we had with David Deloche, the mayor, the manager, and our team, we talked very clearly about how the water quality would be affected and the stormwater benefits to it. Now when the presentation was done with Swift Mud from what I understand, we broke it into parts. You can break it down, you can combine it together. The benefit was probably doing one large project

    P78Zoning Amendment (Regular) - Beacon Woods East MPUD - Lowman Links, Inc. - A Modification to the MPUD Master Plan (Map H) and Conditions of Approval to Set Forth Passive Uses, and Regulations Regarding the Same, That May Occur in Specific Golf Course Areas

    Jack Mariano all. Okay. When we talked initially I got word that the stormwater ponds were gonna be cleaned out. Not the uplands part, just the stormwater ponds where the drainage goes. That's what I was told, and now I see I am hearing it's not true.

    TDT numbers, school year, stormwater, resiliency updates

    Jack Mariano Yeah, sure. I'll just touch on that just for a second too. You know, one of the things I was talking about as far as like the stormwater requirements that we have, they're in place. There are other requirements for different storm events, which might have been one of these latest storms that okay, it protected for that other storm, but on a big heavy event, that may not be enough to to code. Um so yeah, I think we need to take a look at all of that as we go.

    P66 PVAS 3469 Michel Avenue paved road project

    Jack Mariano I'll say Madam Chairman I'd be happy to make sure we work with Ainsley and our staff to go look at that stormwater before we start the project to make sure we deal with the drainage. That's all I'm here for. And if you would sir make sure you give Ainsley your name and we'll get with you when we
