Proposal

The Public Works Department proposes the installation of Sewer Pump Station No. 9 at the east side of the Right of Way intersection of Alton Road and Mount Sinai Hospital Access, within a triangular landscape area of the Public Right of Way. The project includes underground infrastructure, an above-ground generator, an odor control system, perimeter fencing with a vehicular access gate, and landscape screening. The station is intended to handle current and future wastewater demands for the Alton Road neighborhood and Mount Sinai Medical Center complex.

From the Letter of Intent

The project involves the construction of a new sewer pump station (PS-9) designed to manage wastewater flows from neighborhoods along Alton Road (Basin 28A) and the Mt. Sinai Hospital Complex. The new station will replace outdated, undersized facilities that pose a risk of sanitary sewer overflows during peak flow conditions. The design prioritizes functionality and resilience while incorporating odor control systems and landscaping to minimize neighborhood impact.

• Construction of a new sewer pump station (PS-9) within the Alton Road right-of-way
• Installation of a wet well and valve vault
• Installation of elevated electrical and control equipment above Design Flood Elevation of 9.45 ft NAVD88
• Installation of a Wager odor control valve and BioRem odor control system
• Installation of 12 ft high black chain-link perimeter fencing with black vinyl-coated privacy slats
• Installation of Calusa shrub hedges and resilient landscaping including Sabal palmetto, Clusia rosea, and Muhlenbergia capillaris
• Construction of an asphalt maintenance driveway
• Site surfacing with porous 3/4-inch washed stone over filter fabric
• Installation of low-profile, downward-directed, shielded LED site lighting
• Installation of a standby generator
• Construction of a prop. elevated platform with handrails
• Installation of a prop. trash rack structure
• Construction of a prop. retaining wall
• Installation of 24-inch sanitary sewer connection
• Installation of 8-inch DI water main
• Site grading and raising of pump station site approximately 2.5 ft
• Minor demolition of existing landscape area and limited hardscape/pavement

Staff Recommendation

Compliance Findings:

Key Issues

• Compatibility of the pump station's industrial character with adjacent single-family homes to the east
• Quality of fencing materials - staff recommends upgrading gates and posts to metal pickets or simulated wood instead of standard chain link
• Driveway surface material - staff recommends pervious or high-albedo pavement aligned with the City's Resiliency Code (e.g., gravel or pavers set in sand)
• Visual screening adequacy of the 12-foot-high chain link fence with black vinyl-coated fabric and surrounding landscaping
