Stormwater Outfall Relocation on Forest Lawn Road

The Planning Commission discussed a proposal to relocate a stormwater outfall on Forest Lawn Road. The applicant, Jamie Lerma, representing the property owners, explained the need to move the outfall due to new residential development on the site. The relocation aims to prevent flooding in the garage area of the development, caused by stormwater from the city's storm pipe and a private storm pipe from a neighboring property. This situation has led to significant water accumulation on the construction site, impacting ongoing development.

Lerma clarified that the project involves connecting the private storm pipe to the city's stormwater system and extending the outfall further north into the wetland. The relocation was previously approved but expired due to changes in the wetland overlay ordinance, necessitating a new conditional use permit. The commission discussed the need for a stormwater management plan to ensure compliance with the new code and address potential impacts on the wetland.
