After discussion with the City Engineer, we agree <br />that in your specific situation, paving with asphalt or concrete over <br />the existing aravel surface may actually have a beneficial effect on <br />the quality of runoff entering the lake, since the silt from the gravel <br />will be eliminated from the direct runoff. Even though bituminous or <br />concrete paving is less permeable than gravel, it appears that with <br />your unique topographic problems, paving appears to be a good idea. <br />I also discussed with the City Engineer the idea of creating a "basin" <br />around the perimeter of the turnaround area to catch the runoff and slow <br />it down. He felt this would need to be quite extensive to have any <br />major effect, and he suggested instead that you ensure that the paving <br />be sloped to allow runoff to flow equally to all edges of the paving, and <br />eliminate a swale which would channel the runoff to a single point and <br />possibly cause some erosion. <br />the <br />the <br />the <br />and <br />all <br />Based on the above, we have no objections to your proposal, with <br />condition that the paving cover only areas already gravelled, i.e. <br />12' wide garage driveway apron leading to the turnaround, and <br />turnaround itself which is approximately 30' wide and 40' deep, <br />bounded by the existing hedge, and that the paving be sloped in <br />directions as described above. <br />No permit is required for this work. Thank you for your concern with <br />this project and your patience in awaiting this response. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael P.
