The final <br />plat has been filed with the county, separating the single family residence from the business. The site had <br />been granted a credit based on the storm, water utility ordinance. "..Single Family properties with a <br />business on the site shall be charged 72 the residential rate and ¥2 the business rate until such time as the <br />business is no longer active on the site, at which time the rate shall be the standard single fam/ly <br />residential rate." The business is not connected to the residential site so the eli~bility for the credit is <br />removed. <br /> <br />Staffmet with you and toured your site as part of the fee review.

We have listed several <br />properties below that have similar percentages of impervious cover. <br /> <br />Company <br /> <br />Cormexus Energy <br />Old Castle Concrete <br />Lord of Life Church <br />(has wetlands on site) <br />Vision Ease Lens <br /> <br />Area Impervious <br />(acres) Cover % <br />36 50 <br />19 46 <br />41 19 <br /> <br />18 38 <br /> <br />The code does allow for calculation based on less than the full site area if a portion of the site is in a <br />natural, undisturbed condition. The reduced area method was used to calculate the current rate. We looked <br />at using this method however most of the site has been graded for placement of potted plants with the <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br /> <br />
