Staff of Current Planning and Erosion Control could, essentially, be looking at 2 different proposals as there is not an appropriate reference to the stormwater permitting requirement in this section of the UDO. There is also a disconnect with respect to the required level of site plan detail (i.e. professionally prepared versus scaled plot plan) to obtain a land disturbing permit. Staff is proposing to add language requiring a formal site plan, completed by a land surveyor or engineer, in all instances where proposed land disturbance thresholds require the development of a formal stormwater plan. The hope here is we will avoid the duplication of submittal information and ensure all County review agencies are utilizing and reviewing the same development proposal to avoid unnecessary confusion and error. 3 The red bold text was added to address comments from the January 9, 2013 ORC meeting where members wanted some language encouraging the submittal of a single site plan complying with all zoning and erosion control / stormwater permit requirements.
