Interim Storm Water Ordinance August 6, 1993 Page 6 Planning Commission. However, the author of the model ordinance noted that each City will have its own process and should tailor the review procedure accordingly. Therefore, I have redrafted Subdivision 7 (A) "Process", to follow our current management practices i.e.: 1. Storm water plans involving "normal and customary grading" for e.xisting or newly constructed buildings or land alterations under 100 cubic yards (and not in a protected lakeshore or wetland area) will be reviewed by the Building Inspector as part of the building permit review. Historically, we have involved the City Engineer in normal building permit reviews only on rare occasion, perhaps half a dozen times a year. I would not anticipate this changing significantly. 2. Where grading in e.xcess of 100 cubic yards not associated with a building permit is proposed, a conditional use penrat with City Engineer review would continue to be required, and all subdivisions and unusual land alterations would continue to be reviewed by the City Engineer with costs borne by the applicant as is our current procedure. The implications for staff in reviewing storm water management plans for the general day-to-day project is in spending the time becoming familiar with the BMP s, and sp>ending additional time assisting applicants in providing adequate information and responsive plans. For all new homes, staff has been dealing with grading and drainage plans for a number of years and we don’t anticipate major changes in the time needed to process a building permit. Subdivision 7 (D), originally entitled "Performance Bond", is revised to read "Completion Agreement and Letter of Credit". This section generally requires that an applicant execute a standard form "Completion Agreement" similar to a Developer’s Agreement, and provide a Letter of Credit covering the costs of storm water management plan complenon. The normal Developer’s Agreement we already use for subdivisions and major land alteration
