Proposed Erosion Control/Storm Water Management Ordinance. The Commissioners discussed proposed changes to the language of the proposed Storm Water Management. Those changes will be more fully noted in the Planning Commission minutes. Essentially, they changed the wording of the "Lawn Fertilizer Education" portion of the proposed ordinance so that it reads, "Lawn Maintenance Education". They also asked if the acreage of residential and commercial that are covered by this proposed ordinance was an arbitrarily set figure. Many were concerned that storm water plans may be costly for the smaller construction projects that an homeowner or small business may want to have done. 6. Discussion of Goals for 1999. General discussion of what the Planning Commission should deal with in 1999. Wagner suggested being pro-active on a number of • redevelopment projects that the City or will be involved with. Gondorchin concurred.
