Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 8, 2016 Page 15 Mayor Roe stated he wasn't sure he wanted to segregate residential and commer- cial properties. While there is an issue with residential attempting some of these projects, without ongoing maintenance and not meeting recertification require- ments, Mayor Roe stated the entire issue needed further discussion befare one or the other type of land use was removed. Councilmember Etten agreed that was a bigger policy discussion; and while he was more comfortable with the commercial aspect, he didn't mean to imply peo- ple could pay a one-time fee and get off without addressing the point source of stormwater. As noted in the recent subdivision denial he referenced earlier during this discussion, Councilmember Etten noted residents in that area referring to one home in particular that far exceeded the impervious surface percentage; and ques- tioned how the city's requirements and restrictions allowed those things to hap- pen. Councilmember Etten opined that those rules for residential properties need- ed reviewed, monitored and enforced. Councilmember Etten agreed that some of the current language is confusing, specifically addressing the age of a residential property (twenty years or older). Councilmember Etten stated he'd like to see this draft policy again, but just to address commercial properties; followed by a broader discussion for residential properties. As part of that broader policy discussion, Councilmember McGehee stated her in- terest in the value added for recertification of BMP's or city cost to build and maintain infrastructure, and city responsibility versus that of individual property owners. On the commercial side, Mayor Roe reiterated his concern in considering the commercial aspect separate from the residential, because commercial sites actual- ly create greater stormwater issues due to their extensive impervious surfaces, and using this fee policy moves a greater amount of stormwater off commercial sites for city treatment elsewhere than would any single residential site under this poli- cy. Without objection, Mayor Roe directed staff to return with draft policy revisions addressing points and issues raised and discussed tonight, and including PWETC meeting minutes to-date where they considered this policy; and to include any fu- ture or subsequent discussions they may have on the issue at their discretion. 12.
