This item was heard at the February 25, 2013 quarterly public <br />hearing. <br />Presenter: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor <br />Michael Harvey: This item begins on page 51 of the abstract. I would like to review what occurred at the Quarterly <br />Public Hearing and get feedback. This item will come back at the April regular meeting once the comments from <br />OWASA are obtained. <br />Larry Wright: On the BOA, we heard an application where they were dealing with impervious surfaces.. They <br />couldn't get the driveway to the house. I would like to know, translating it to this, this 6% is not 6% when someone <br />buys a parcel and it is on a corner lot. The 6% is not their land. <br />Michael Harvey: I will respectively disagree. In the instance you are referring to, it is a 10 acre exempt subdivision, <br />meaning it did not go through the formal staff review and approval process. They had easements for the various <br />roadways placed on this property without thought of impacts associated with impervious surface limits. Roadway it <br />does contribute to the 6% impervious surface limit but the problem was created through the process they went <br />through in that the developer did not allocate impervious surface area from all of the lots to address roadway <br />construction. <br />Larry Wright: Are there parcels that were purchased like that application for the BOA that would be in the same <br />scenario? <br />Michael Harvey: I am sure there are. <br />29 <br />
