In all of the <br />watersheds, repair systems will be allowed. <br />Commissioner Gordon made reference to deletions on page 44 and <br />Ms. Willis noted that she and the County Attorney determined that there <br />were duplications. Geoffrey Gledhill clarified that the language under <br />6.23.10 (b) says that a person can redevelop if the rebuilding activity <br />does not have a net increase on built upon area or provides equal or <br />greater stormwater control than the previous development. A person can <br />replace what they now have. He explained that 6.23.10 (c) was deleted <br />because it allowed a person to expand to a greater extent with a larger <br />impervious surface than someone who is building a new building.
