Abstract
This work compares the stormwater management design of conventional development at Longleaf Village Phase I to an alternative Low Impact Development stormwater approach for the project. Potential benefits/limitations are highlighted in terms of: 1) Stormwater performance, 2) Ability to improve water quality, including maintaining waterbodies and their uses, such as fishing, 3) Ability to maintain the "natural water balance" of the site, 4) Ability to support/enhance the environmental health of existing wetlands, 5) Ability to meet the regulatory requirements of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) and obtain permits, 6) Construction Cost, 7) Appearance and improvement to the aesthetics of Longleaf Village, and 8) Maintenance and Feasibility.
