Engineers: basin footprint and underground storm system limit developable area; basin design and overflow protection requested
Summary
Civil engineers said resource-agency requirements and an existing underground stormwater treatment facility constrained developable area at the Parcel Q site; commissioners and a member of the public requested percolation tests, overflow strategies, fencing and design details for the basin.
Lee Rosenblatt with CVG and the applicant’s civil engineer explained that prior approvals and requirements from resource agencies shaped the project footprint and reduced the usable area. Rosenblatt said the detention/water‑quality basin and an underground stormwater system that serves Neighborhood 5 limit where homes can be built and where access roads can be placed.
A resident asked technical questions about percolation tests, century/five‑hundred‑year event elevations, overflow strategies and protective fencing for the detention basin. Greg Carr requested detail on expected basin levels at the hundred‑year storm and whether an overflow exists, and urged the applicant to provide fencing and safety protections. The commission asked staff and the applicant to return with engineering evidence and percolation/overflow analysis.
