1. The detention and water quality treatment for this site is accounted for in the detention pond
south of Custom Blending. The design engineer will need to verify compliance with the
overall Harmony Tech Park drainage plan. A letter report should be sufficient to document
the impervious area, drainage sub -basins and drainage patterns.
2. Since this site will drain to the Harmony Tech pond, there will need to be a maintenance
agreement with the owners of the pond since every site that drains to it is responsible for
the respective portion of the maintenance.
3. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the McClellands
Creek Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards.
4. The Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,313.00/acre ($0.1449/sq.ft.) for new
impervious area over 350 sq.-ft. and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.ft.) review fee.
No fee is charged for existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each
building permit is issued. Information on fees can be found on the City's web site at
