Developer says reduced parking lets project keep stormwater on-site; board discusses fencing
Summary
City engineers and the developer said eliminating parking and garages enables on-site underground stormwater retention and hydrological independence from a neighboring pond; the board discussed pond ownership, potential fencing and overflow pathways.
Board discussion on July 7 focused on stormwater implications of the parking reduction for the MHP Brevard I project. John W. Cooper asked whether the request aimed to avoid using a retention pond to the west; Chris Ossa confirmed that was the case and explained that "the site can use underground storm retention and other forms of retention to achieve a storm water system that will be independent hydrologically, disconnected from neighboring properties." Jonathan Sternbach said responsibility for the pond would remain with Carmel because the pond is on their property.
Dr. Brenda Fettrow confirmed that stormwater for the site is intended to remain on the property for a 100-year storm event; Chris Ossa added that "any overflow will run into the canal to the north of the property." The developer offered to consider fencing along the west side of the property and Ossa offered "4-foot chain link or vinyl coated fence" as examples; Cooper said fence options would be determined during site-plan design.
