Commission emphasizes storm-water controls; requires engineer-stamped plans
Summary
The Commission reaffirmed that subdivision applicants must provide a storm water plan stamped by a licensed civil engineer demonstrating post-development discharge will not exceed pre-development discharge for 10-year and 100-year storm events, and emphasized careful review at concept and preliminary stages.
Commissioner Riley Lindsay and others raised concerns that concentrating runoff in a subdivision can cause downstream flooding and create municipal liability. The Commission pointed to the ordinance language (page 41.5) requiring a storm water plan stamped by a licensed civil engineer that demonstrates compliance with adopted design standards, including ensuring post-development discharge does not exceed pre-development discharge for both 10-year and 100-year storm events.
Commissioners emphasized the importance of diligent review at concept and preliminary plan stages and agreed the provision provides a reasonable framework. No change to the substantive numeric standards was recorded; the Commission discussed enforcement and the need for consistent application during plan review.
