DRAFT 31 <br /> 54 Pete Hallenbeck: When you think about an area receiving run off from nowhere else,an impervious surface the rain hits it <br /> 55 and the water coming off that could be deemed as having too much nitrogen. The concern is that if you make an <br /> 56 impervious surface that increases running water into a stream that is the thing trying to be controlled. <br /> 57 <br /> 58 Terry Hackett: Yes. <br /> 59 <br /> 60 Larry Wright: You talked about run-ons,you used the term developer, is a single home a development by a developer? <br /> 61 <br /> 62 Terry Hackett: Under these rules, it would be considered new development subject to these amendments if it was over the <br /> 63 land disturbance threshold set out by the state. <br /> 64 <br /> 65 Lisa Stuckey: Half acre of disturbance so it is a big house with a long driveway? <br /> 66 <br /> 67 Terry Hackett: It is more common that what you think. Because our large lots, low density, it doesn't take much of a <br /> 68 driveway to hit that. I did a small presentation to the land development committee for the Durham Orange Homebuilders <br /> 69 Association on this issue. In 2011,there were 30 erosion control permits based on land disturbance. Of those there were <br /> 70 19 single family residences that required an erosion control permit. Of those, seven would have required a storm water <br /> 71 plan and subject to these rules. <br /> 72 <br /> 73 Brian Crawford: What are some things the homeowner's association was looking at to alleviate or make sure they don't <br /> 74 have*to pay this fee? <br /> 75 <br /> 76 Terry Hackett: We would encourage the overall developer look at the stormwater runoff patterns from all the lots and <br /> 77 estimate what would be cleared and they would install structural BMPs. <br /> 78 <br /> 79 Maxecine Mitchell: Would these affect someone who already has a home on a property and wants to increase their <br /> 80 square footage? <br /> 81 <br /> 82 Terry Hackett: If they hit that land disturbance threshold. One of the things we will start tracking is if someone builds a <br /> 83 home that has an individual stormwater management plan and we see they have met the requirements, we have <br /> 84 institutionalize that so when they come back to add something it may kick them over. <br /> 85 <br /> 86 Buddy Hartley: What happens if this wasn't adopted? The answer was there is no option. <br /> 87 <br /> 88 Terry Hackett: The state requires it. There really is no option. <br /> 89 <br /> 90 Lisa Stuckey: It seems like this is a part of a larger thing that is trying to control pollution and keep our waterways clean. <br /> 91 <br /> 92 MOTION made by Lisa Stuckey to accept staffs proposal. Larry Wright seconded. <br /> 93 VOTE: Unanimous <br /> 94 <br /> 2 <br />
