Commission approves mitigation plan allowing additional impervious coverage at Copper Drive property
Summary
The commission approved a mitigation plan permitting the Taylor property to exceed the standard impervious coverage limit (up to 35%) provided mitigation measures are completed, reviewed and reported as required by code, and staff verifies final grading and rain-garden construction.
The Pewaukee Plan Commission approved a mitigation plan for James and Susan Taylor’s property on Copper Drive that allows the site to exceed the standard impervious coverage limit provided mitigation measures are completed, final calculations are submitted and the engineering technician verifies the constructed mitigation before final sign-off.
Staff explained the ordinance permits up to 35% impervious coverage if a mitigation plan is completed and reviewed; county reporting of final calculations is required. Commissioners expressed interest in on-site verification of mitigation elements such as rain gardens, and staff said the engineering tech will inspect final grading and the constructed rain garden as part of final approval.
A motion to approve the mitigation plan was offered and carried. The approval directs staff to verify final grading and mitigation measures during the engineering sign-off process.
