Resiliency & Sustainability Features
Marina Investment Addressing Seal Level Rise
Improve marina for projected 100-year sea level rise mitigation by investing in:
- Floating docks
- Sea wall enhancement, and
- Fortifying resistance to hurricanes and tropical storms
Site Stormwater Management – Water Quality
Increased stormwater retention and management resulting from:
- Reduction of site pavement
- Increased public green spaces including a 1-acre park
- Proper site containment and filtration of stormwater, and
- Avoidance of discharge of contaminated stormwater into the bay
Neighborhood Flood Risk Mitigation
Enhancing capacity to manage stormwater runoff from adjoining neighborhoods by:
- Providing cistern tanks to capture stormwater runoff
- Expanding capacity of site water and sewer infrastructure, and
- Reducing loads on neighborhood stormwater pumps
Alton Road Right of Way Resiliency Enhancements
Invest in Alton Road resiliency improvements including:
- Addition of bioswales
- Enhancing greenscape
- Creation of improved pedestrian and cycling mobility along and across Alton Road, and
- Reducing width and intensity of existing curb cuts
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Proposed development will:
- Be designed to LEED Gold certification standards
- Integrate a Blue Roof
- Decrease light pollution, and
- Reduce current urban “heat island effect”
Eco-Friendly Park Design
The proposed Marina Park will incorporate native and biodiverse plantings, an efficient irrigation system, rain gardens, and creation of natural infrastructure.
