Town presents draft MS4 stormwater ordinance update; hearing set for next week
Summary
Town staff presented an update to the Saint John Stormwater and MS4 Ordinance that has been discussed at prior meetings and was advertised for a public hearing next week; no substantive changes were raised at the study session.
Town staff presented a proposed update to the Saint John Stormwater and MS4 Ordinance during the Jan. 8 Plan Commission study session and said the ordinance has been discussed at previous meetings.
A town speaker noted the item has been discussed “a couple meetings now” and that there were no further comments from planning staff at the study session. The town confirmed the ordinance was duly advertised for a public hearing scheduled for the commission’s next meeting.
Why it matters: Revisions to the town’s MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) ordinance govern local stormwater regulation and compliance with state or federal MS4 permit requirements; changes can affect developers, property owners and town drainage policy.
Discussion and next steps: Commissioners did not raise additional comments during the study session. The item was set to return as a publicly noticed hearing at the commission’s next scheduled meeting for formal consideration.
Provenance (transcript excerpts): The MS4 item was introduced by the chair as agenda item 4(b) and discussed briefly by town staff during the Jan. 8 session.
