Review and approval of an application for a Conditional Use with New Construction, submitted by Property Owner and Applicant; Waste Management Inc. of Florida to construct a 3,212 sf addition to an existing waste transfer station located at 3890 Selvitz Road, Fort Pierce, FL.  The property is zoned I-3, Heavy Industrial (Parcel ID 2432-222-0004-000-3).

The applicant is requesting the review and approval of a Conditional Use to Construct a 3,212 sf Addition to an existing Transfer Station in the I-3 Heavy Industrial District at 3890 Selvitz Road. The site is presently utilized by Waste Management Inc. of Florida as a Transfer Station to receive household refuse. The site supports a 9,900 sf three-walled metal building with a gabled roof. An on-site leachate containment system is in place to capture and contain any leachate from the existing operations. The proposed 3,212 sf addition will continue the same operations and provide space for additional refuse material. The proposed structure will be built over an existing concrete slab and cause no increase to the site’s impervious area. No drainage modifications will be required to the existing drainage system as the new addition will utilize and maintain existing slopes and flow patterns. No utilities are required with this addition and therefore will not require any additional utility permitting. All existing landscape will be maintained in place.
 
The property is located east of Selvitz Road and approximately 915 feet south of the Selvitz Road-Glades Cut Off Road intersection. The site is surrounded by light industrial businesses to the north, south, east and west. The existing 9,900 sf building and use was approved under a Conditional Use Application in August of 2012.
