Their findings shall be forwarded to the Planning Commission prior to its approval of the final plat of the subdivision. Staff findings shall include recommendation for approval; approval with conditions or modifications; or denial based on submission of incomplete plans, failure to meet ordinance provisions, or incompatibility with overall city drainage plans. Following Planning Commission approval, the final plat with the stormwater management plan shall be submitted with any recommendations and conditions to the City Council at its next regular meeting.
(2) Building permits. Stormwater management plans shall be reviewed by the Engineering Department for compliance with the standards of § 52.29. City staff shall contact the applicant or its agent on the review findings and indicate approval; approval with certain conditions or modifications; or denial based on submission of incomplete plans, failure to meet ordinance provisions, or incompatibility with overall city drainage plans. Upon approval of the stormwater management plans, the applicant or its agent shall be notified of compliance. Building permits involving such non-exempted land disturbance activities shall not be issued until such notice of compliance is given. Construction of single family or two family dwellings must comply with the approved stormwater pollution prevention plan.
(3) Land disturbing activities not requiring a building permit. Stormwater management plans shall be reviewed by the Engineering Department for compliance with the standards of § 52.29.
