Interim Storm Water Ordinance <br />August 6, 1993 <br />Page 5 <br />added to this ordinance. <br />Subdivision 5 (B) discusses the variance procedure.

While me listing of required submittal information appears quite <br />detailed at first blush, the requested information can be broken down into two general categories: <br />1. ■ Information about the site that is generally available or which is available in <br />sources at the City. <br />2.A site plan indicating what is currently existing, what will be existing when the <br />project is done, and what protective measures will be in place as the project <br />progresses from its "before" to its "after' state. <br />A major concern with requiring a storm water management plan for each and every land <br />disturbing activity requiring a permit" is the degree of detail requiring an applicant to hire <br />expensive consultants to provide the information. Clearly, a subdivider should be required to <br />provide detailed survey work, "before" and "after" topography, and a detailed site plan <br />providing every bit of information listed in the ordinance. However, to require the same degree <br />of detail from a resident who is building a detached two-car garage on his two-acre lot is <br />probably e.xcessive and we need to better define varying degrees of submittal for various project <br />scales. <br />Subdivision 7 is the plan review prcKedurc and, as it appears in the model ordinance, <br />presumes that virtually every submitted storm water management plan must be reviewed by the
