Detailed modeling and reports will be required at the development stage if the rezoning change is approved.
Address whether the project will be required to provide water quantity and/or water quality of stormwater runoff.:
The project will be required to provide both quantity and quality meeting the IIb criteria.
What off-site easements and/or improvements are required? What steps have been taken to ensure that these easements can be obtained and that improvements can be constructed?:
Based on the current title report we feel adequate easements exist for the development.
Address the current adequacy of the existing drainage receiving facility.:
Meeting with staff and reviewing previous applications the receiving facility appears to be adequate.
Is this development subject to tidal impacts? How will the tides associated with a hurricane or northeaster affect the drainage system?:
