Chapter 15.30 STORM WATER AND STORM WATER RUNOFF

A. The purpose of this chapter is to protect, maintain, and enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare by establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse impacts associated with increased storm water runoff. Proper management of storm water runoff will minimize damage to public and private property, reduce the effects of development on land and stream channel erosion and sedimentation, assist in the attainment and maintenance of water quality standards, reduce local flooding, and maintain after development, as nearly as possible, the predevelopment runoff characteristics.

B. The provisions of this chapter are adopted under the authority of the city and shall apply to all development occurring within the incorporated area of the city. The application of this chapter and the provisions expressed herein shall be the minimum storm water management requirements and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by state statute. The city shall be responsible for the coordination and enforcement of the provisions of this chapter. [Ord. 455B, 1992.]

15.30.070 Waivers.

The director may grant a waiver of the storm water management requirements for individual developments; provided, that a written request is submitted by the applicant containing descriptions, drawings, and any other information that is necessary to evaluate the proposed development. A separate written waiver request shall be required in accordance with the provisions of this section if there are subsequent additions, extensions, or modifications to a development receiving a waiver. Eligibility for a waiver shall be determined if the applicant can conclusively demonstrate that:

15.30.080 Variances.

The director may grant a written variance from any requirement of this chapter if there are exceptional circumstances applicable to the site such that strict adherence to the provisions of this chapter will result in unnecessary hardship and not fulfill the intent of this chapter. A written request for variance shall be provided to the director and shall state the specific variances sought and reasons for their granting. The city shall not grant a variance unless and until sufficient, specific reasons justifying the variance are provided by the person developing land. [Ord. 455B, 1992.]

B. Charge in Lieu of Assessments.

1. The director is authorized and directed to compute and establish connection fees for all public storm drainage system improvements that have been constructed with city funding or support upon the completion of such improvements. All existing storm drainage facilities that have been constructed prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter will not be subject to a charge in lieu of assessments, unless the storm drainage facility currently has an existing charge in lieu of assessment agreement in place. Such charge in lieu of assessment shall be based on the total project cost and figured on either a front-foot or area assessment basis or both, at the reasonable discretion of the director. Such project costs shall include all associated design and construction charges to the project.

All connections made to a public storm drainage system from properties which have not been assessed or have not borne an equitable share of cost to such public system shall be subject to a charge in lieu of assessment at the rate for the particular storm drainage system as stated above. The assessment charge shall be based on the prorated share of the public storm system at the rate predetermined by the director. Payment of the charge in lieu of assessment shall be made in full, prior to connecting the public storm drainage system.

C. Payback Agreement.

1. A payback agreement shall be defined as an agreement between the city and a property owner for the sole purpose of reimbursing such owner for costs incurred by that owner for the installation of a public storm drainage system. For costs above those costs of any such improvements for the portion of facilities that are needed for or directly benefit the development, any payback agreement shall be limited to the costs of such storm drainage improvements above the costs necessary to provide storm drainage facilities, that comply with city standards, to the owner’s property. The system shall have a reasonable possibility of directly benefiting future development by other properties within the area.

2. The payback reimbursement charge shall be based on the total project costs and figured on either a front-foot or area assessment basis or both at the reasonable discretion of the director. The project costs shall include all associated design and construction charges of the project submitted by the property owner and approved by the city.

3. The director is hereby authorized and directed to execute payback agreements at the request of the property owner upon council approval. The agreement shall be executed in conformance with guidelines developed by the city. It shall be the owner’s responsibility to keep a current address on record with the city at all times during the life of the payback agreement.

4. All properties connecting to a public storm drainage system for which a payback agreement is in force and for which the property has not been assessed or has not borne an equitable share of the costs of such public system shall be subject to a payback connection charge. The connection charge shall be based on a prorated share of the costs as stated in the payback agreement, at the reasonable discretion of the director. Payment of the payback charge shall be made in full to the owner designated in the agreement and release of acceptance of such payment shall be provided to the city prior to connecting to the public storm drainage system.

5. It shall be the city’s duty to collect all such appropriate connection charges and to remit such moneys to the developer designated in the agreement, for the entire life of the agreement, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the payback agreement. [Ord. 455B, 1992.]

The amount of the security shall not be less than the total estimated construction cost of the storm drainage system. The bond so required in this section shall include provisions relative to forfeiture for failure to complete work specified in the approved storm water management plan, compliance with all the provisions of this chapter and other applicable laws and regulations, and any time limitations.

B. The bond shall not be fully released without a final inspection of the completed work by the city, submission of “as-built” plans, and certification of completion by the city of the storm drainage system as being in compliance with the approved plan and the provisions of this chapter. A provision may be made for partial release of the amount of the bond prorated upon completion and acceptance of the various stages of development as specifically delineated, described, and scheduled on the required plans and specifications. The developer shall notify the city upon completion of each stage that is ready for inspection. [Ord. 455B, 1992.]
