Originally it was thought that this project would go to the Plan Commission in July, but now will go in August. Plans are currently being revised and consequently we were not able to include in the packets the defmitive land plan and PUD ordinance, but knowing that TAC is concerning primarily with grading, utilities and drainage we thought we could have a meaningful dialog and input without specific plans.

Blaine Paul spoke about storm drainage on this development looking at implementing a low- impact development concepts and alternative storm water management practices. We think given the topography and the existing infrastructure there are a lot of opportunities for creative storm water practices. Questioned if the City's storm water ordinance allowed these practices, but would like some guidance. Nick indicated that Blaine needs to speak with Amanda Foley in Engineering. Shirley Hunter Duke Energy believes this in IPL territory. Some of this may be in Duke territory, but she will not know until the plans are complete. Ryan Hartman CTRWD, only comment is we do have an 18 inch interceptor sewer along Springmill, and would request that your extension would be off that sewer.
