Ms. Girling wondered if the definition of "site" could be adjusted to ensure <br /> that regulation occurred in subdivisions. Mr. Lyle said that it was possible <br /> for staff to consider it in that light. Ms. Cahill suggested that language be <br /> added indicating that subdivided lots continued to be subject to the provi- <br /> sions of the original erosion control plan. <br /> Mr. Strecker suggested that alternatively, it would be less complicated for <br /> subdivision developers to demonstrate the stability of the larger site, and <br /> that there was adequate permanent erosion control in place. Mr. McCarthy <br /> endorsed Mr. Strecker's suggestion as a valid approach. <br /> Mr. Lyle said that the committee's recommendation was an initial step toward <br /> an ultimate program, and the program would include evaluations to ensure that <br /> all elements were necessary and that needed adjustments occurred: <br /> Mr. Lyle summarized the committee's discussion, saying that site management on <br /> sites under fives acres would not require a permit unless within a sensitive <br /> area, and the City would use a checklist approach. <br /> Responsible Party - <br /> Mr. Lyle identified the following remaining issue: <br /> Is the applicant the person to penalize for noncompliance? <br /> The committee did not immediately address this section, but moved ahead to the <br /> next section because of its relationship to the previous section. <br /> Permits <br /> Mr. Lyle reviewed the proposed definition of sensitive areas: <br /> A. Hillside conditions with slopes greater than ten percent, or <br /> B. Highly erodible soils (define by SCS category) <br /> C. Projects which drain directly to sensitive water bodies (Willamette <br /> River, significant drainage courses, and protected wetlands) <br /> D.._Sites within established buffer areas <br /> E. Sites with high natural resource values. <br /> Mr. Lyle said that remaining issues included: <br /> Is the sensitive area definition appropriate and adequate? <br /> What permit rates will be acceptable to the community? to the coun- <br /> - cil? <br /> Mr. Bingtwo referred to a map showing vacant areas in the commune y,.and said <br /> that sensitive areas would be identified on such a map. tie said that the map <br /> would be used at the Permit and Information Center (PIC) to alert staff to <br /> special development requirements. Mr. Bingham used the map of vacant areas <br /> and a series of map overlays to show the committee National Wetland Inventory <br /> MINUTES -- Stormwater Development Standards.
