Project Description:

is project proposes to disturb 0.50 acres [or 21,868 square feet] of land and increase the amount of impervious area by 0.39 acres [or 18,002 square feet], which will increase the peak rates of stormwater runoff. The project will consist of a proposed parking area on the cemetery property to be used by cemetery visitors, a gravel circulation road, and landscaping.  To meet the minimum design requirements for stormwater management, the project proposes to drain the impervious area across open grass space for non-rooftop disconnect credit.  

The Applicant has applied for a quantitative control waiver for this project, in accordance with City Code Article 7, Division II, § 23-2. The Applicant has demonstrated to the maximum extent practicable that any additional stormwater management cannot be implemented on-site. Furthermore, the Applicant has demonstrated that increased stormwater runoff from the project will directly discharge to a public storm sewer system that can accommodate the anticipated stormwater flows  without downstream flooding or stream-bank erosion.  The Applicant will satisfy the quantitative control requirements for this project by payment of fee-in-lieu of on-site stormwater management for [0.28 ac of] this project.
