24 <br /> applicant must submit a short paragraph outlining what steps are being taken in <br /> connection with the project to retain storm water on the property. An <br /> educational brochure would accompany the application to give people ideas of <br /> what can be done. The intent is to create'education and incentives for people <br /> take these steps rather than requirements and enforcements. <br /> Rationale <br /> Excluding Decks <br /> Under current interpretation, decks.are counted in determining lot coverage because <br /> they are structures. This does not seem in line with the intent of the ordinance to limit <br /> storm water runoff since water can run through the spaces and permeate into the <br /> ground below. <br /> Two Tier Lot Coverage Limit <br /> We believe-thy 35% limit is nol reasonable far lots_under the current minimum lo�t_size <br /> of 90QO square feet. Todd Hubner of WSB reported to us that increasing the lot <br /> coverage*limitfor these lots would.not affect the storm water retention in St, Anthony. <br /> The two tier system would allow property owners to improve their property without. <br /> going-through the variance process, leaving variance requests for only extraordinary <br /> • circumstances:. The 35% limit for lots.of 9000 square feet and above is in line with <br /> other communities and we.believe it provides adequate room for development in the <br /> majority of cases. Richfield has s similar two tier system. <br /> Water Retention Plan <br /> We believe most people would be willing to make simple changes to their building <br /> plans to help alleviate fit Anthony's storm water problem if.they were given ideas and <br /> encouragement to do so. Examples include directing gutter down spouts into the yard <br /> rather than dawn the driveway and sloping-parldng.'are.as.toward the yard--rather than <br /> toward the street. If things like this were done on a city-wide basis, there is potential <br /> for a significantfavorable impact to the storm water control efforts. <br /> Attachment: <br /> Summary of other communities' lot coverage requirements. <br />
