Resident urges review of Titusville stormwater permits, cites FEMA and state-law concerns

A resident identified in the record as Stan used the public-comment period to press the commission and staff on stormwater and permit issues, saying he had emailed the St. Johns River Water Management District and identified 13 reasons the district should revoke permits for two dams related to work at the senior center.

Stan described himself as a professional engineer required to "protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public" and said the city’s stormwater practices are "not sustainable," alleging violations of FEMA regulations and state stormwater law. He told the commission the two-dam project at the senior center is "over $1,000,000" and said he had provided technical reasons to the water management district for reconsideration.

Commissioners acknowledged the concern but said they did not have immediate technical responses. A commissioner said, "I personally, in this evening, do not have any response to his comments," and offered to forward the concerns to staff for review; Commissioner Seidler asked the speaker to send a copy of the email so staff could examine the claims.

No formal action was taken at the meeting; staff and commissioners indicated they would review any submitted materials and follow up as appropriate.
