Roseville PWET Commission Meeting Minutes Page 7, February 28, 2017 275 276 Member Heimerl stated that he was leaning toward Option 1 with the 277 recommended clarified language. However, Member Heimerl noted that in 278 looking long-term, it was important to realize that more was contributing to the 279 stormwater runoff issue than simply parking lots. As an example, Member 280 Heimerl noted the comment to look at the number of driveways feeding into a 281 street beyond parking lots for a realistic view of the actual impact of one or the 282 other. Member Heimerl suggested that a more meaningful impact may be to 283 encourage or incent keeping residential runoff from driveways — or parking lots — 284 from going into the street with everyone sharing the res�pponsibility. Member 285 Heimerl stated that he hated to see businesses delay o -rM taking care of their 286 parking lots due to a fee for them to do so, opining wouldn't be beneficial to 287 the city or to any Roseville residents. Howeve rty owners —whether 288 residential or commercial —were made to realize e imp f that runoff, it may 289 provide an incentive or at a minimum that s may own runoff into 290 the stormwater system. 291 292 City Engineer Freihammer agreed that the problem w a result of noff, with 293 some residential neighborhoods having an issue simply due to t e impervious 294 issues on their lots from drivNhe and other structures or surfaces. 295 296 Member Heimerl stated thatS ke to see Rosevillfe more in the forefront 297 for leadership (Option 2), but alsrred to see tl�# focus on a great citywide 298 and comprehensive Ian to attack 'tywide floodiy with everyone involved, not 299 only those wit rking lots. While supporsi g a city policy to encourage 300 business ow redoing their parking lots to also fix stormwater drainage issues 301 at the sam e, Member Heimerl admiZ.5d that he wasn't sure how to put such a 302 policy together, but volunteered to assfflr staff in drafting such a policy. As an 303 example, Member Heimerl noted that even Eagle Scouts could be recruited to 304 look at projects to impact the community. Member Heimerl suggested looking at 305 data to put tog a potential plan for implementation in the city that would have 306 a mendous im ton drpnage issues, but result in a different option beyond 307 O 2 as curren presented. 308 309 Membe znia greed with the comments and suggestions of Member 310 Heimerl. initially supporting the opportunity to improve stormwater 311 management ide by going with Option 2, Member Wozniak noted that at the 312 same time e agreed with Member Heimerl in questioning why a business 313 owner's parking lot became responsible for addressing the broader stormwater 314 control issue when it represented only one of many impervious elements in that 315 area. Member Wozniak noted that rainfall didn't distinguish land uses and 316 whether it was one parking lot or ten driveways creating a similar area of 317 impervious surface. Therefore, Member Wozniak opined there must be some way 318 to share the burden beyond just addressing parking lots. While unsure of the 319 answer at this time, Member Wozniak stated his preference that Roseville be on 320 the cutting-edge in stormwater management efforts to benefit the entire
