Member Stenlund questioned how and where to include new rain data (updated <br /> TP-40)rather than the old numbers, noting that they were available, even though <br /> not yet official. <br /> After some discussion, Ms. Bloom and Mr. Leaf suggested that, another table or <br /> tickler be used to reference including the updated rain event data; updating these <br /> numbers is also included in the implementation portion of this document. <br /> Member Stenlund suggested a footnote. <br /> Member DeBenedet opined that his concern is if the old TP-40 data is used for <br /> development and design plans, with money spent on that predication but knowing <br /> it was already outdated, it would make the City look short-sighted. <br /> Member Stenlund concurred; and opined that the document needed to deal with <br /> the kinds of rain events currently being experienced. Member Stenlund sought to <br /> make sure when the City Council adopts this and others review it, that those <br /> significant design changes are acknowledged. <br /> Ms. Bloom suggested an additional column be added to Table 1 (page 5)to <br /> include anticipated 2013 numbers. <br /> Members concurred, with Member Stenlund noting that this would be prudent, <br /> since this document will be used as a planning document in the future, not for past <br /> planning scenarios. <br /> Member DeBenedet opined that it made sense to put an Appendix in the <br /> document with a one-page discussion on what may happen, with a footnote in this <br /> section to reference that appendix, rather than creating a document that would <br /> become out-of-date as soon as or before published; particularly acknowledging <br /> that the website would need to be continually updated. <br /> Mr. Leaf addressed broader policy issues than can currently be anticipated as the <br /> pond and easement design storms are updated and what that meant for City <br /> policy; or if Best Practices should be designed for 5.9 inches today and analyzed <br /> for larger storms, as long as any overflow was addressed; whether large or small. <br /> Chair Vanderwall opined that this was more than simply a statistic; and suggested <br /> that overdesign may need to be part of the process rather than something we don't <br /> yet know. <br /> Ms. Bloom read the design standards in the Implementation Plan (page 33) and <br /> suggested it be highlighted with a hyperlink; with Member Stenlund suggesting <br /> referencing Footnote#1 to check data as updated. <br /> Mr. Leaf suggested either a blank column or including an additional column. <br /> Page 6 of 15 <br />
