Full Text from eCode360®

Additional approvals required. The MC District contains environmentally sensitive areas. Land, buildings, and other structures used for one or more of the purposes established in Section 3.5.1A shall be subject to the environmental protection standards of Section 6.2 (Coastal Area Management Regulations) and 6.13 (Water Resource Protection Regulations). In addition to standard application requirements, the applicant seeking development within the MC District shall submit the following information:

A soils survey, done by a soil scientist, stamped and signed with a live signature, showing soil types and boundaries including a written description of their classifications.

Pre-development and post-development calculations of the stormwater runoff. Design of the stormwater system should:

Demonstrate a zero impact to the Town's storm drainage system, including natural waterway systems. Accordingly, the applicant shall evaluate the impacts to downstream conditions. The analysis shall include impacts from the quantity of runoff as well as the quality of the runoff.

Be designed in accordance with the requirements of the Connecticut Stormwater Quality Manual, as amended, as well as the requirements of Town stormwater ordinances.

Be designed at a minimum, to retain the first inch of runoff on site and provide a zero increase in the peak rate of runoff from the site for the twenty-five-year storm, with an evaluation of the impacts from a fifty- and 100-year storm. After the evaluation is complete, if a larger design storm is warranted as determined in consultation with the Town Engineer, the applicant shall design the drainage for no net increase in the runoff from the 100-year storm.

This site is under construction. Got it!
