May 12th, 2026 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 7 Councilmember Doolan reminded the Council that this ordinance will also need to pass the Planning Commission, where additional concerns regarding personal freedoms in home building may be addressed. Councilmember Jenson questioned how item C5 will be implemented. He expressed concern about additional red tape and costs. Councilmember Doolan highlighted that there is no specific target in this item. City Planner Grittman noted that he was unsure at the moment what the target should be due to idiosyncrasies between buildings. He stated that the builders would be expected to comply with the plan for diverting waste. Councilmember Doolan suggested providing a list of resources for waste diversion and reuse to builders. She highlighted that this would also be beneficial and informative for other community members seeking to remodel their homes, even if they were not required to comply with the Sustainable Building Ordinance. Councilmember Jenson asked who would be responsible for compiling the list of options and resources for waste diversion. City Planner Grittman informed him that there are existing resources that summarize these options, and that this would likely be the responsibility of Sustainability Coordinator Saulog to acquire and distribute. Councilmember Doolan stated that she believed the County already has lists of resources, given its stated goals and requirements for waste reduction. Councilmember Elnagdy asked what would be done if an unsatisfactory plan were provided. City Planner Grittman stated that Staff would likely require the builder to rework the plan, or the builder would attempt to appeal to the City Council. City Manager Yunker noted that permits would likely not be issued until the plan was adequate. Councilmember Elnagdy expressed concern that the lack of clarification would leave the City vulnerable to complaints upon rejection. She proposed adding a line clarifying that plans may be rejected if found inadequate. Councilmember Jenson stated that, regarding item C6, he believed the percentage requirement should be removed; otherwise, the language is acceptable as is. He noted that almost all developments now include some ponding. City Planner Grittman confirmed that stormwater management is required for projects that disturb more than an acre of land. The language in this item attempts to require all projects that meet the thresholds of item B to incorporate stormwater management, even if they disturb less than an acre. Mayor Webster asked if a percentage would be required for item C6. City Planner Grittman stated that he wanted a percentage requirement but would need to consult with the City Engineer first. Councilmember Elnagdy asked what would happen to builders who failed the compliance and monitoring process. City Planner Grittman stated that he believed that a fine would be imposed. 8
