The Stormwater Infiltration Program (SIP) is the City's approach to meeting the stormwater management rules and regulations when reconstructing streets associated the Program. The SIP is comprised of constructing stormwater infiltration basins, or swales, in the boulevard portion of the City -owned Right-of- way. The City established a process for property owners to appeal the location of an adjacent infiltration basin proposed in this boulevard area in front of their property. A specific set of eleven physical and four hardship parameters must by met for the City to consider the appeal (see attached "basis of appeals'). The City has provided adjacent property owners in Area G the following opportunities to become aware of the City's intent to construct the infiltration basins in front of their- property and to learn more about the proposed basins: Oct. 8, 2013: Notice sent to adjacent property owners (with SIP FAQ handout — see attached) Oct. 21, 2013: Public information meeting for stormwater infiltration basins Oct. 8 - Nov. 7, 2013: Appeal period and opportunity to ask questions of City staff Nov. 7 - 15, 2013: Engineering staff reviews submitted appeals & develops recommendation Nov. 18, 2013: Streets & Utilities Committee considers appeals & provides recommendation Nov. 25, 2013: City Council considers SIP appeals The preliminary design identified 52 locations as candidates for infiltration basins in Area G. This number is reduced as final design progresses. The City received six SIP appeal forms by the November 7, 2013 deadline. Two appeals were dropped since they are no longer candidates due to design progression, leaving four appeals to consider. A copy of the appeal forms and infiltration basin location map are attached to this report. Discussion: The following pages are a summary of the appeals for the City Council to consider for approval or denial. Associated property owners have been informed that they have an opportunity to speak on this matter during the City Council's consideration. Recommendations from Engineering staff and Streets & Utilities Committee are at the end of each summary.
