He commented that the City was overdue <br />for the implementation of such standards, pointing out that the cities of Portland and Springfield have <br />already put such standards in place. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly said he was pleased that staff was basing its standards on the City of Portland manual. He <br />opined, however, that the language in the proposed ordinance was unclear as to what standards would do <br />regarding new development, other than to say that standards would benefit stormwater. Mr. Kelly <br />recognized that a comprehensive manual has been created; however, he suggested that any additional <br />information included in the ordinance would be helpful. He pointed to a statement in the summary that the <br />department advisory committee (DAC) recommendation requires capturing treatment of 80 percent of the <br />average annual runoff volume for new and significant redevelopment. Mr. Kelly said he thought that <br />recommendation was a significant goal, and if it was, in fact, embodied in the ordinance he was unaware of <br />such language. City Attorney Klein responded that a section could be added that makes explicit what was <br />implicit, that the City Manager shall adopt through the Administrative Rule-making process a manual which <br />shall provide for the following objectives. Mr. Kelly indicated such an addition would be helpful to the <br />process. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman questioned what area of the city constituted 500 feet. Ms. Walch replied that the 500 feet <br />threshold was approximately at Martin Drive, which was located at the end of east and west Amazon drives, <br />in South Eugene. Ms. Bettman then questioned the flow control provisions which state that after develop- <br />ment, the rate of flow needs to match the pre-site development if discharging into a headwater tributary. <br />Ms. Walch said that development would not be required to comply with the flow control provisions below <br />Martin Drive. She explained that the provisions were meant to address the sensitive headwater tributaries <br />and that additional flows from new development could adversely affect them. Such an effect was not <br />apparent in the channelized waterways of the lower water elevations. However, Ms. Walch said that the <br />pollution reduction, oil controls and source controls would all apply citywide. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman questioned if single-family homes were exempt from the standards. Ms. Keppler replied that <br />one- or two-family homes were exempt from the requirements; however, a residential subdivision would be <br />subject to the 3,000 square feet standard. She added that the current lots of record for residential develop- <br />ment were exempt. Ms. Keppler also noted that the City was targeting commercial and industrial develop- <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council March 13, 2006 Page 9 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
