ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MARCH 9, 2026 21 Community Development Director Reilly explained it was his understanding that there was a separate set of rules that references stormwater runoff onto and around other properties and deferred to the Public Works Director/City Engineer. Public Works Directory/City Engineer Swearingen reported the City runs into this quite often given the topography of the City. He indicated the idea was there cannot be an increase in flow to the adjacent property, noting there was a natural flow for water downhill. He commented that staff tries to direct water to flow down property lines and neighbors are not to negatively impact the flow to adjacent properties at the end of the development.
