With Assistance from Valley Branch Watershed District, it was <br />determined that four utility accounts on parcels 36.029.21.24.0001, 36.029.21.23.0002, <br />36.029.21.23.0001 and the west utility acct on 36.029.21.21.0001 have been identified as having <br />stormwater improvements to help convey and retain stormwater on site, reducing impacts of the <br />city’s stormwater system. <br /> <br />Three of the utility account on PIDs 36.029.21.13.0001, 36.029.21.12.0001, and the east utility <br />acct on 36.029.21.21.0001 were found to have no stormwater retention improvements and convey <br />surface water directly into Rose Lake. <br /> <br />Staff is recommending a reduction in the surface water fees for only four of the utility accounts. <br />This fee also supports the activities which all property owners utilize regardless of water retention <br />capacity. <br /> <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />None
