Mayor: Village close to lifting building moratorium after stormwater fixes; developers must meet updated requirements
Summary
Mayor updated the task force on a 2020 building moratorium caused by wastewater inflow/infiltration; staff submitted a report to Durham and expect a response by end of February. The mayor said private developers will be required to update civil plans and may need allocation letters or infrastructure improvements.
The mayor provided a status update on the October 2020 building moratorium tied to high inflow and infiltration into the village's wastewater system. He said two of four basins have been brought into compliance and that the village submitted a recent report to Durham; staff expect a response by the end of February and anticipate lifting the moratorium in the remaining basins if Durham concurs.
Members pressed whether stormwater and sewer capacity analyses account for imminent development along the Kennedy Causeway. The mayor said developers must obtain allocation letters from Miami-Dade Water and Sewer and that projects are required to update civil plans to use the most recent rainfall data; in some cases developers will be required to improve infrastructure as a condition of approval.
