Cramerton staff preview new stormwater ordinance ahead of Feb. 20 vote
Summary
Chase Sturgis, the town's stormwater administrator, told the Board of Commissioners on Feb. 6 that a proposed ordinance would update development standards so new projects incorporate improved stormwater management; the board expects a formal vote Feb. 20.
Chase Sturgis, Cramerton’s stormwater administrator, told the Board of Commissioners on Feb. 6 that staff has drafted a new Town of Cramerton Stormwater Ordinance to modernize development standards and reduce the impact of new construction on the local hydrological system.
"This ordinance updates development standards to ensure new projects and developments incorporate effective stormwater management measures while also minimizing the impact of development on our local hydrological system," Sturgis said. He said staff completed extensive research to shape the proposal and that the ordinance will return to the board for a formal vote at the Feb. 20 meeting.
If adopted, the ordinance would apply to new development in town and is intended to address both current and anticipated stormwater challenges. Board members did not debate the ordinance at length on Feb. 6; Sturgis’s presentation served as a preview and an invitation for commissioners and staff to identify details before the vote.
The board is scheduled to take action on the ordinance at its next regular meeting on Feb. 20, 2024.
