Supervisors discuss subdivision grading, stormwater waivers and temporary‑occupancy practice changes
Summary
Engineering and planning staff updated the board on grading corrections and stormwater management for Roth Farms and other lots, discussed four waiver requests to the subdivision stormwater ordinance, and staff clarified a change in temporary occupancy permit practice (six‑month limit).
Engineering and planning staff presented updates on subdivision grading and stormwater management and asked the board to consider several waiver requests.
An engineering consultant described work at Roth Farms and Open Road Lot 38, reporting that grading corrections on the west side of the subdivision appear to have been implemented and that a shallow stormwater basin is proposed for Lot 3 to meet stormwater needs. The firm submitted a letter requesting four waivers from the subdivision/stormwater ordinance concerning freeboard, embankment slope and outlet structure specifications.
A supervisor moved to approve the four waiver requests as referenced in the August 27 letter; staff noted no objections to the proposed waivers but emphasized that construction cost estimates and financial security (letter of credit) will be required before final approvals. Separately, staff reported changes to temporary occupancy permit practice: temporary occupancy approvals will be limited to six months going forward and reimbursements referenced in the meeting (about 10 reimbursements received) will be processed under existing contractual arrangements.
Attributions: Engineering consultant and planning staff provided the technical description of grading, stormwater basin design and waiver requests; a supervisor moved the motion to approve the waivers and staff described follow‑up requirements for financial security.
