Bellevue Park design advances after city grants stormwater variance
Summary
Staff told the commission that final drawings for Bellevue Park are expected in October and that the city approved a stormwater variance so the project will not require full‑spectrum detention, preserving budget and design objectives.
Staff updated the commission that Bellevue Park design drawings should be finalized by early October and described a recently approved stormwater variance that avoids full‑spectrum detention. "We asked for stormwater variance... we would actually not develop a full spectrum detention, and we would like a variance on this for these reasons," S4 said, adding that the variance protected both the project budget and site aesthetics.
Staff said civil engineers worked with city reviewers to produce a tailored stormwater plan and that without the variance full detention requirements would have consumed a major portion of the project budget. The update emphasized that site drainage will still function into existing creek channels and that the variance was approved within the city's regulatory framework.
