Member Heimerl noted that in some cases (e.g. Saint Rose of Lima) a commercial or institutional parking lot drainage problem may be a result of surrounding residential properties and impervious coverage or grading of those lots versus the parking lot creating the problem. Member Heimerl questioned what was the bigger issue, noting that each home contributed to that runoff as well; and therefore, he didn't want to hit businesses harder if not also addressing residential properties at the same time. In conclusion and without objection, Chair Cihacek directed staff to revise the policy include a definition of "exposed aggregate;" noting that the majority of the PWETC supported some elements of Options 2 and 3 pending current practices; with Member Seigler pointing out the need to define "new" or somehow define what accounted for activities on a site to trigger stormwater improvements; while providing a defensible policy for enforcement. Chair Cihacek summarized that the majority of the PWETC seemed supportive of a better standard based on current policy and a clearer sense, with elements of Options 2 and 3, with Option 1 a must. With consensus support by the PWETC, Mr. Freihammer advised that staff would rewrite the ordinance with two different options, clarifying descriptions, and resulting impacts under both options. Specific to the next iteration coming before the PWETC, Mr. Johnson noted that the sooner the better, as the intent was to make sure revisions were available to SEH for their incorporation of that into the Surface Water Management Plan update in process. 8. Items for Next Meeting — February 28, 2017 Discussion ensued regarding the February agenda, moving the TIF discussion out further as it wasn't a time -sensitive issue; including the Transportation Plan RFP (anticipated in April, August and November); and deadlines for comments on the Plan back to Mr. Johnson via email by February 20, 2017 for staff to incorporate them into the February meeting packet. 9.
