E. ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES & IMPACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE:
1. Environmental Features
The subject parcels are located within the Woodville Recharge drainage basin and the
Primary Springs Protection Zone as mapped in the City and County Code. Approximately
half of the subject area is forested, but it has been clear-cut in the past.
County environmentally sensitive area maps indicated the presence of several potential karst
features on the southern half of the subject area, which is presently primarily undeveloped,
but does include the 0.8 acre wastewater spray field for the existing facility. This karst
potential is based on digital elevation modeling, and review by a licensed geologist is
appropriate prior to any development in these areas. There are no other known
environmentally sensitive features in the subject area.
2. Water/Sewer
The subject property is outside of the established Urban Services Area. However, according
to the City of Tallahassee, adequate water service is available for the proposed land use and
zoning categories.
DISC Village currently has an active permit issued by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection for an existing activated sludge wastewater treatment facility
(WWTF) with reclaimed water reuse sent to a rapid rate land application system (sprayfield).
The permit is for a 0.030 million gallon per day (MGD) annual average daily flow. The
residual materials are transported to the City of Tallahassee’s T.P. Smith WWTF for
disposal.
3. Other
Roads
Natural Bridge Road is a major collector. The applicant has provided a preliminary traffic
impact analysis as part of the land use amendment application. This analysis acknowledges
that, based on the maximum development potential allowed by the requested land use
