Res. 7702, Approving Proposed Locations for Stormwater Infiltration Basins in Area D of the SUIP November 22, 2010 Page 2 owner describes the localized ponding and drainage issues that have occurred in the past associated with stormwater runoff from the building roof. The hot spot land use physical parameter is unrelated to the drainage issues described by the applicant. The proposed infiltration basin is only collecting stormwater runoff from the street surface, and will not take any runoff originating from the building roof. Furthermore, the reconstructed streets will cut-off any drainage toward the building, lowering the risk for additional localized flooding caused by roof runoff. The second physical parameter is based upon item A7 relating to spacing of the infiltration basins efficiently throughout the project area, not lumping in one location, and leaving other suitable areas without treatment. The applicant suggests that there appears to be more lumping of basins on Jackson Drive north of Bronson Drive versus south of Bronson. The applicant further suggests that a basin could be installed on the corner of Jackson and Bronson, where no basin is planned. The property owner has a significant amount of street frontage, equivalent to the 9 homes located across the street from the property. The two basin locations planned adjacent to applicant’s property are spaced appropriately to collect an appropriate amount of runoff for the drainage area. The corner of Jackson and Bronson is not an appropriate location for a basin since this is a high point on the block and no stormwater runoff would be collected at this location. City staff and the S/U Committee (4-0) recommend denying this appeal since the physical parameter claims are not met. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting Resolution 7702 denying the two SIP appeals received and approving the proposed stormwater infiltration basin locations in Area D of the Street and Utility Improvement Program.
