Today we are making available the Proposed Public Comment Draft of the Ordinance. This draft will be presented to the Stormwater Committee for their action to send the draft out for a 60 day public comment period.
Today we are making available an updated draft of the Stormwater Ordinance. This draft represents the thinking of the consulting team, with input from the steering committee on many issues, and feedback on policy issues received to date from the Stormwater Committee. The concepts represented in the draft have for the most part been aired in this blog earlier. The steering committee will continue in its job of being the “point” for developing language, and this draft does not represent a consensus of the steering committee on all issues. We invite, and welcome, your comments as we continue to work towards a draft that represents a true consensus of the County, with all interested parties voicing their views.
Drain tiles are located on properties throughout the County and play a critical component in site drainage and flood storage. Consequently, we feel it is important to take their presence into consideration when projects are being developed to accommodate, bypass, modify, or abandon them in a manner that will not impact onsite or offsite areas in ways that were not expected. The consulting team thinks that drain tile survey requirements are best handled under Article 5, for sites whose immediate use is agriculture. Attached are draft provisions. We are looking for any feedback regarding this requirement.
Today we are making available a complete draft of the ordinance update. This draft represents the thinking of the consulting team, with input from the steering committee on many issues, and feedback on policy issues received to date from the Stormwater Committee. The concepts represented in the draft have for the most part been aired in this blog earlier. This draft is unpolished, and we will continue to refine the language and work on consistency issues independent of comments received. We believe we had reached a point where further comments on concepts was unproductive without a complete draft, so that the context of the various suggestions for changes could be understood. So, the consulting team put this draft together to continue the dialogue at the next level of development. The steering committee will continue in its job of being the “point” for developing language, and this draft does not represent a consensus of the steering committee on all issues. We invite, and welcome, your comments as we continue to work towards a draft that represents a true consensus of the County, with all interested parties voicing their views.
