A. Lot Coveraue: The lot standards on urban lots allow very intense use of the property. However, under no
circumstances shall the high lot coverage allowances suggest that storm water detention and storm water quality
requirements and standards no longer apply. Rather, it is the expectation of the City that non-traditional, or a
combination of traditional and non-traditional storm water practices be utilized to meet Carmel Engineering
Standards. Therefore, the City Engineer will accept proposals for meeting all storm water requirements, including
vaults, rain gardens, green roofs, and off -site compensatory storage. However, the City Engineer reserves the right
io limit options to those with proven performance.
