There are also some modilScations to the existing credit policy in which ti'tis resolution would supercede. Those changes will be identified clearly in this resolution. A. b, lodified Method - For those properties that e,'['~eed 5 acres in size and have an overall percent knpervious [ess than 25%, the property owner may request that the City modify the approach taken to .%Isulate the storm drainage fee for their property. The moditied approach to the storm drainage t'~ is calculated by assuming that a single rectangular area which completely encompasses the impervious area be regarded as the modified area. The percent impervious and then the KEU calculated using this modified area and the table of REFs in Ordinance #00o01. (The criteria for this credit have been modified from Resolution #00-07~172.) B. Storm water detention - Th.e criteria for the credits outlined in Resolution #00r07-172 have not been changed. C. Wet ponding credit - The criteria for the credit outlined in Resolution #00-07-172 has not been changed. Once the property owner completes and has returned the pre-application form, the City Engineer will' make an on-site inspection of tile "structure" to see if it is obviously eligible for the credits available ~br the storm drainage utility. If it is not obvious, or the property owner disa~ees with the findings of the City Engineer, they may complete .tl'~e fo'ri'hal application to provide the necessary information to justify the credits.
