(a) Pre-Application Meeting: The applicant shall attend a Pre-Application Meeting with the Administrator to discuss the proposed project, review the requirements of this regulation, identify unique aspects of the project that must be addressed during the review process, and establish a preliminary review and approval schedule.
(b) Preliminary Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan: The applicant shall submit two (2) sets of a Preliminary Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (Preliminary Plan) and the applicable fees to the Administrator. The Preliminary Plan shall show the proposed property boundaries, setbacks, dedicated open space, public roads, water resources, stormwater control facilities, and easements in sufficient detail and engineering analysis to allow the Administrator to determine if the site is laid out in a manner that meets the intent of this regulation and if the proposed SCMs are capable of controlling runoff from the site in compliance with this regulation. The applicant shall submit two (2) sets of the Preliminary Plan and applicable fees as follows:
(1) For developments: In conjunction with the submission of the preliminary development plan.
(2) For other construction projects: In conjunction with the application for a building permit.
(3) For general clearing projects: In conjunction with the application for a building or other applicable permit.
(c) Final Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan: The applicant shall submit two (2) sets of a Final Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (Final Plan) and the applicable fees to the Administrator in conjunction with the submittal of the final plat, improvement plans, or application for a building permit for the site. The Final Plan shall meet the requirements of Section 1335.09 and shall be approved by the Administrator prior to approval of the final plat and/or before issuance of a building permit.
(d) Review and Comment: The Administrator shall review the Preliminary and Final Plans submitted, and shall approve or return for revisions with comments and recommendations for revisions. A Preliminary or Final Plan rejected because of deficiencies shall receive a narrative report stating specific problems and the procedures for filing a revised Preliminary or Final Plan.
(e) Approval Necessary: Land clearing and soil-disturbing activities shall not begin and building permits shall not be issued without an approved Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan.
(f) Valid for Two Years: Approvals issued in accordance with this regulation shall remain valid for two (2) years from the date of approval. The Administrator may extend this date of expiration up to 12 months if the applicant submits, within a reasonable time before the termination date, a written request containing information that adequately justifies an extension, in the judgment of the Administrator or his/her designee.
(g) The City or designee will perform construction inspections until the site reaches final stabilization as determined by the Administrator or his/her designee.
(h) The SWMP review, filing and inspection fee is part of the complete application submittal and must be paid in full by the applicant or owner prior to the commencement of any reviews by the City. The Administrator shall establish a fee schedule based upon the actual estimated cost for providing these services. At such time as the fee reserve balance falls below 35% (thirty-five percent) of its original balance, the applicant or site owner/operator will be required to deposit additional funds to cover the anticipated costs of future fees or return the reserve to the original balance, as determined by the Administrator. Upon final inspection approval and acceptance as provided by Section 1335.13 below, all funds remaining will be returned to the applicant or site owner/operator. Unless otherwise provided herein, the fee schedule set forth in section 1335.15 shall apply.
