The Master’s Academy is situated near the intersection of Slavia Road and S. R. 417 in Seminole County on approximately 32-acres of land.  The project started out as a vacant lot with flatwoods,  silty soils and a high groundwater table.  Excel Engineering Consultants designed the project to provide maximum site utilization while meeting stromwater management requirements and keep site development costs to a minimum.

The majority of the site improvements are located at the south end of the project adjacent to Slavia Road while the ball fields are located near the north end of the project.  A canal running in the east-west direction and under S.R 417 bisects the project site.  The project has six drainage basins as defined by the topography and FDOT.  A small pond was situated adjacent to the asphalt parking lot to take the stormwater runoff and provide the first level storm attenuation.  Three stormwater control structures serve to control the discharges.  Two structures route storms to different basins along S.R. 417 while the third routes the storms to a larger pond to the north.  The larger pond in the rear provides all of the pollution abatement volume for the site and its share of the stormwater attenuation.  Sanitary Sewer and Public Drinking Water is provided by Seminole County.  A private lift station was constructed to serve the property.  Permitting was completed with Seminole County, FDOT, SJRWMD and FDEP.

This site design concept provided an efficient and economical site desgin.
