EnforcementThe code includes the requirement that proposed developments meet the adopted LOS standards and alsomeet the minimum concurrency management measures. (Sec. 23-37) It is the responsibility of the ownerand permit holder to comply with and complete the work in accordance with the provisions of the codesand ordinances applicable to the permit (Sec. 19-97) (Sec. 19-127) (Sec. 23-58).Typically, the enforcement of the permit conditions is through the Building Department’s CodeEnforcement Division, via withholding the Certification of Occupancy (except in the case of single familyresidences) until the building official receives approval and concurrence from the City’s civil engineerthat the permit conditions have been met (Sec. 19-147) (Sec. 23-141 (5)). In the event that land is clearedwithout a permit, the project will be deemed to be in violation and the permit will be denied until finaldisposition of the issue. If the applicant is found guilty of work without a permit, permission forcontinued land clearing of the site will be denied and future permits within the City will be denied for aperiod of one year. (Sec. 23-283).Chapter 17 Utilities outlines the enforcement rights as they relate to addressing illicit connections to theCity’s MS4.

Private stormwater system regulations and monitoringThe existing municipal code has a number of references to requirements for upkeep of privately ownedstormwater systems. The private landowner has full responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of itsdrainage system including swales and lakes (Sec. 23-141, Sec. 23-301(2)(d) and Sec. 25-252). In order toprovide water quality treatment, the code requires that littoral zones be established within private waterbodies and a management plan be developed (Sec. 23-301(2)(f)).

City of Boca Raton Regulatory Information SummaryCurrent Stormwater Policywith its management plan, the City may either require the property owners’ association to address theproblem at their own expense, or the City may address the problem and assess the costs back to theproperty owners (Sec. 23-301(2)(e)).The 1996 EAR-Based Amendment to the 1989 Comprehensive Plan added the requirement to theDrainage Sub-element (Policy DRAIN 5.2.1) that property owners or property owner associations of newor existing stormwater retention ponds provide the City with lake maintenance agreements which allowthe City to perform all maintenance functions should the property owners fail to adequately maintain thedrainage facilities.Although the City has the right by code to access the private property and to compel the privatecommunities to maintain their systems, there currently is no pro-active measures in place to bring theCity’s attention to any problems, which may arise. Therefore it is recommended that the City draft a codemodification to require private property owners and property owner associations to provide a status andcondition report of their stormwater management system, including inlets, pipes, lakes, detention areas,swales etc. on a specified cycle, perhaps every five years, to the City. Alternately, the City couldimplement an inspection program where City staff would perform the inspections and provide a report tothe private property owner requiring them to address any problems found.D. Development Review and ApprovalThe first step of review and approval for proposed development projects is to go through the Site PlanApproval process by application to the City’s Development Services Department and the Planning andZoning Board. Part of Development Services’ mission statement is to help maintain the City’s quality oflife by securing compliance with the City codes and regulations, protecting the natural environment, andmanaging programs to support these objectives.If the type of proposed development is a subdivision or a comprehensive plan amendment submittal, apreliminary grading and drainage plan is required. The adopted LOS standards are outlined for six typesof public facilities: water, sewer, drainage, solid waste, parks and roadways. Concurrency with thecomprehensive plan is tested for all six types of public facilities before the project is granted adevelopment order approval. A representative from each applicable City department, reviews the SitePlan Approval application.Once the Site Plan Approval is granted, the applicant must submit for Public Works Review Staff(“PWRS”) approval. This application requires the submittal of technical drawings and calculations plus acopy of all permits required by outside agencies such as the South Florida Water Management District(“SFWMD”), the Lake Worth Drainage District (“LWDD”), the Florida Department of Transportation(“FDOT”), and others as applicable. A copy of all permits must be provided to the City before issuanceof the PWRS approval.L:\boca\bocaswmp\A6016.02\Final Task 2 Report - 1-07-08\r01acjh.docPage 3MOCK•ROOS
