A RULE OF THE COLONIAL COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REGARDING DESIGN STANDARDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY THAT IMPACT THE FLOW OF SURFACE WATER AND THE DISTRICT OWNED SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES.

Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this rule is to insure that improvement to private property that impact the flow of surface water do not adversely impact the District owned Surface Water Management Facilities and it is intended to provide guidance to the private property owner to prevent unintended consequential damages to the District’s facilities.
Finding of Fact. The District finds that it is necessary to implement this rule to prevent unintended negative impacts to the District’s facilities. Primarily, when the flow of surface water is modified there is a potential for erosion of the lake banks to the point they are no longer in compliance with South Florida Water Management District requirements, which could impact the budget of the District negatively.
Requirements Imposed. The District requires that any private property owner modifying structures or topography of its land in a manner that could change the flow of surface water into the District owned Surface Water Management Facility provide design drawings which show that the modifications address the potential for increased erosion of the banks of the District owned lakes. The District will have thirty days to review the drawings and may make recommendations for design changes. A sample design is attached as Exhibit “A,” however each project is different and the sample design may need to be modified to address site conditions.
Owners who modify their structures or the topography of their property in a manner that could change the flow of surface water into the District owned Water Management Facility without District approval or without incorporating recommended changes will be held liable for any erosion caused by the modification.
This rule is effective upon adoption.

Adopted on the 22nd day of March, 2010 after a duly noticed hearing.
