Planning Commission/P 06-06 April 11,2006 Page 5 Grading.Drainage and Utilities The applicant is proposing to utilize a low impact drainage plan. This method for handling strormwater involves utilizing rain gardens and bio retention ponds, and was one of the goals identified in the City's NPDES permit. The process allows for the stormwater to be filtered through engineered soils, reduces the amount of off-site runoff and allows for reduced on-site ponding and curbing requirements. Sec. 30-901 allows for exemptions from the curbing requirements.
