Consistency: YES NO X N/A
Analysis: This will be evaluated at the platting stage. It is anticipated that the
local roadway serving the site will be designed in a manner comparable to other
minor local roads within the DRI.

Bluewater Bay DRI Proposed Development Order Amendment
Compatibility/Consistency Determination
Policy 3.1.2 Provide or require the provision of non-motorized transportation
facilities to link residential areas with recreational areas with recreational and
commercial areas in a safe manner, in part requiring the construction of
sidewalks, bike lanes, installation of signage, and striping of roadways so as to
accommodate non-motorized transportation facilities.
Consistency: YES NO X N/A
Analysis: This will be evaluated at the platting stage. It is anticipated that the
local roadway serving the site will be designed in a manner comparable to other
minor local roads within the DRI
Policy 4.2.2 The County shall limit new access points to arterial and collector
roads by requiring minimum distances for separation of driveways and median
cuts, consistent with FDOT and County access management policy.
Consistency: YES NO X N/A
Analysis: This will be addressed at the platting stage.
Policy 4.2.3 Whenever possible require developments to provide direct
vehicular and pedestrian connections to adjacent residential developments and/or
service commercial or institutional land uses to reduce the need for additional
access onto collector and arterial streets.
Consistency: YES NO X N/A
Analysis: This will be addressed at the platting stage. However, it is not
practicable to interconnect the local roadway with the adjacent neighborhood.
D. Stormwater Management Element
Objective 2 Coordinate the extension of or increase the capacity of stormwater
managementfacilities to meetfuture needs. This shall be accomplished in part through
enforcement of land development regulations that protect the quantity and quality of
stormwater runoff and that ensure that the capacity of stormwater management
structuresfor roads and other development are designed to meetfacility needs.
Policy 2.1 Stormwater management facilities necessary to accommodate new
development shall be designed and constructed by the development. The cost for

Compatibility/Consistency Determination
design, construction and maintenance for stormwater management facilities for
developments shall be the sole responsibility of the developers until accepted by
the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners for permanent
maintenance by the County. The final plat approval and acceptance for
permanent maintenance by the County shall be coordinated.
Consistency: YES NO X N/A
Analysis: This will be addressed at the platting stage.
Policy 2.2 The LDC shall contain design standards that prohibit the
channeling of stormwater runoff directly into waterbodies, address erosion and
sedimentation control, require the use of retention and detention ponds for
treatment, require that runoff from parking lots be treated, and other similar
standards that address the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff.
Consistency: X YES NO N/A
Analysis: This will be addressed at the platting stage.
Policy 2.3 The LOS standards for stormwater management shall be:
a. Single-Family Detached Residential Subdivisions: Post
development runoff shall not exceed the pre-development runoff
rate for a twenty-five (25)-year storm event, up to and including an
event with a twenty-four (24)-hour duration;
b. A11 Other Development: The first one (1) inch of runoff from the
property shall be retained on the site of the development and post
development runoff shall not exceed the pre-development runoff
rate for a twenty-five (25)-year storm event, up to and including
an event with a twenty-four (24)-hour duration; and
c. A "pop off' shall be provided for stormwater runoff beyond the
above requirements. The developers must provide a pop off to an
outfall with adequate capacity to handle additional stormwater
runoff and must document that the pop off to the outfall has been
authorized by the owner of the outfall system. If no pop off is
available the stormwater storage facility shall be designed with a
minimum capacity to retain a storm event of one hundred (100)-
year frequency up to and including a twenty-four (24)-hour
duration for post development.
Note: The LDC shall include design and performance standards that meet
or exceed Section 17-25.025, F.A.C. and Section 17-3.051, F.A.C.
Consistency: YES NO X N/A

Analysis: This will be addressed at the platting stage.
E. Coastal Management Element
Policy 2.7.3 Establish performance standards for development and sensitive reuse of
historic resources that may include at a minimum:
a. No identified or known archaeological sites shall be excavated or altered
other than by a professional archaeologist using acceptable techniques;
b. All known or potential archaeological sites shall be surveyed for
significance, and;
c. Areas surrounding identified sites of historic resources shall be protected
against encroachment of incompatible activities and land uses.
Consistency: YES NO X N/A
Analysis: Compliance will be addressed during permitting.
F. Conservation Element
Policy 2.4 Channeling runoff directly into surface water bodies shall be
prohibited, and natural watercourses shall not be dredged, cleared of vegetation,
deepened, widened, straightened, or otherwise altered without appropriate local,
state and federal permits. Stormwater facilities shall be designed to protect
surface water bodies from the impact of runoff. Best Management Practices shall
be utilized to avoid impacts of erosion or sedimentation or high rates offlow.
Consistency: YES NO X N/A
Analysis: This will be addressed at the platting stage.
Policy 2.7 A vegetated buffer must be established, providing that appropriate
permits can be secured from state and regional agencies, either through retention
of the existing native vegetation, planting of new vegetation, or a combination of
both, within the following zones of all natural watercourses, water bodies or
wetlands to prevent erosion and trap the sediment from overland runoff:
a. For both tidal and non tidal wetlands, the first 25 feet from the mean
high water line or the ordinary high water line; and

b. For tidal influenced wetlands an additional 25 foot buffer zone, with
the total 50 foot buffer zone measured from the mean high water line.
Consistency: YES NO X N/A
Analysis: All regulatory setbacks will be addressed at the platting stage.
G. Capital Improvements Element
Objective 3 Coordinate land use decisions and development approvals with available
and/or projected fiscal resources with the schedule of capital improvements so as to
maintain adopted LOS standards and meet the existing andfuturefacility needs.
Policy 3.1 Land-use decisions shall be consistent with the five-year schedule
of Capital Improvements.
Consistency: X YES NO N/A
Analysis: As previously stated, the original DRI approval mitigated for all
required impacts and the proposed amendment remains vested. The proposed
amendment does not trigger any requirement for an amendment to the Capital
Improvements Schedule.
Objective 4 Future development will bear a proportionate cost of facility
improvements necessitated by the development in order to adequately maintain adopted
LOS standards.
Policy 4.1 Provide for assessing new developments a pro rata share of the
costs necessary to finance public facility improvements necessitated by
development in order to adequately maintain adopted level of service standards in
the Land Development Code (LDC). The pro rata share of cost necessary to
finance public facility improvements will be determined based upon the size of
the proposed development, the land uses associated with the proposed
development, the impact the land uses are projected to have on public facilities
and services upon occupancy of the development, the benefits expected to be
received by the development, and the maintenance of LOS standards for all
facilities impacted by the development.
Consistency: YES NO X N/A
Analysis: As previously stated, the original DRI approval mitigated for all
required impacts and the proposed amendment remains vested.
