| We're going to open the public hearing. | 00:00:00 | |
| On the storm water management user fee. | 00:00:02 | |
| So join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. | 00:00:08 | |
| I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. | 00:00:12 | |
| And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God. | 00:00:16 | |
| And it is a lot of liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:21 | |
| OK, this is a public hearing. | 00:00:26 | |
| So. | 00:00:28 | |
| Do we have any members of the public that would like to express their concern? | 00:00:30 | |
| Dale. Mann, Georgiann. | 00:00:42 | |
| Again, I want to thank you, Commissioners, for. | 00:00:43 | |
| Considering agriculture. | 00:00:46 | |
| So it should have been kind of do. | 00:00:49 | |
| For a long time. | 00:00:50 | |
| But I also want to recommend that the $41.00 is what was agreed. | 00:00:52 | |
| Was asked years ago. | 00:00:56 | |
| Before you guys. | 00:00:58 | |
| And I think it's fair and equitable. I think if stormwater we. | 00:01:00 | |
| Go by the ordinances. | 00:01:03 | |
| That has been written. | 00:01:05 | |
| Would start using stop using so many consultants. | 00:01:07 | |
| It may be the $41.00 would be sufficient. | 00:01:12 | |
| Instead of 45 and you know as we talked. | 00:01:15 | |
| It's not exponential. It doesn't just keep raising because that's too hard. | 00:01:17 | |
| But in four or five years, if you need more money then ask for it then. | 00:01:21 | |
| But $41 to $2.00 more was what was told to us. | 00:01:25 | |
| But not you guys, but the commissioners before, if we ever got it. | 00:01:29 | |
| If agriculture ever got considered the way they should have been. | 00:01:33 | |
| You know, in my opinion, again, thank you guys for even doing it period. Thank you. | 00:01:36 | |
| Thank you. | 00:01:45 | |
| Anybody else care to weigh in? | 00:01:46 | |
| You want the? Do you want the standard to give the presentation again or? | 00:01:50 | |
| I don't know where we can. | 00:01:58 | |
| Have there been any significant changes since the last time to the? | 00:02:01 | |
| Since you since since the last time it was presented. | 00:02:05 | |
| Now, I wouldn't want them to do that. | 00:02:09 | |
| I heard it the first time. | 00:02:14 | |
| Guys, good. | 00:02:17 | |
| Yes. | 00:02:19 | |
| OK. | 00:02:22 | |
| Anybody else? | 00:02:24 | |
| I want to take a motion to close the. | 00:02:27 | |
| I'll make a motion. | 00:02:33 | |
| I'll second. | 00:02:35 | |
| All in favor, aye aye. | 00:02:37 | |
| Meetings closed. | 00:02:39 | |
| We'll move on to the. | 00:02:41 | |
| Storm water board. | 00:02:43 | |
| Do I need a motion for approval of the minutes for October? | 00:02:49 | |
| So moved. | 00:02:53 | |
| And second, all in favor. | 00:02:54 | |
| Aye. | 00:02:57 | |
| Aye, the daily maintenance reports Chris. | 00:02:59 | |
| Well, we have a. | 00:03:12 | |
| Sydney, Maine The. | 00:03:13 | |
| Public works director here, and he can probably speak on these a little bit better than I can since he's the one that actually | 00:03:15 | |
| does the daily maintenance of the. | 00:03:20 | |
| Different. | 00:03:25 | |
| Jobs at the. | 00:03:27 | |
| Guys perform on a daily basis, but. | 00:03:29 | |
| We were in Highland Lake Estates quite a bit this past month. | 00:03:32 | |
| We did some opening and some culverts. | 00:03:36 | |
| The Greenville. | 00:03:39 | |
| Galena area again opened up some culverts. | 00:03:41 | |
| Bud Rd. Jefferson Gardens, we were in. | 00:03:44 | |
| Like I said, we spend a lot of time in Highland Lake Estates. | 00:03:47 | |
| So we did quite a bit of work this past month. | 00:03:50 | |
| And everything else. | 00:03:53 | |
| You had asked at the last meeting. | 00:03:55 | |
| That we. | 00:03:57 | |
| Pull out the pumper truck. | 00:03:58 | |
| Work orders and everything else. So in the back of your. | 00:04:02 | |
| Packet of this. There you'll see three different work orders of where the pupper truck had been in the. | 00:04:05 | |
| Past month and everything else so we. | 00:04:11 | |
| Kind of hit the. | 00:04:13 | |
| Jefferson Gardens. | 00:04:15 | |
| Country View. Lafayette area. | 00:04:17 | |
| And uh. | 00:04:19 | |
| Catch basins off the Saint Joseph's Road. | 00:04:20 | |
| Everything else so. | 00:04:23 | |
| So pump the truck was used and everything wrong so. | 00:04:25 | |
| Can people? | 00:04:27 | |
| Know that they can. | 00:04:30 | |
| Report. | 00:04:31 | |
| A request for the use of that truck. | 00:04:32 | |
| Similar to how the pothole. | 00:04:36 | |
| Number that we have, that we talked about. | 00:04:37 | |
| I mean, we, we have. | 00:04:40 | |
| Produce that in the past to let the public know. I don't know if we have in the last few years, especially with the truck that we | 00:04:42 | |
| had in the past not being. | 00:04:46 | |
| Serviceable for the most part, but. | 00:04:51 | |
| You know, we could definitely try to do it. | 00:04:53 | |
| Through social media, get some more help that yeah, I think they'd be nice. I mean that they can request. | 00:04:55 | |
| Puffer truck to come out to clean out their driveway culvert again. | 00:05:01 | |
| They would have to fill out a form that does not hold us liable for cleaning that out if there happened to be any damage they | 00:05:05 | |
| would be responsible for. | 00:05:09 | |
| That of their own pipe and everything else. | 00:05:14 | |
| Yeah, I think that'd be good. | 00:05:16 | |
| We can. We can do their truck. Let's let's get it. Let's make sure it's used. | 00:05:18 | |
| That we can do that in starting here in November and. | 00:05:22 | |
| And get it out a couple different times. Well, I think it's important this time of year too, because, you know, as fall comes and | 00:05:25 | |
| all the leaves and stuff coming out, it starts including ditches and Oh yeah, you know, other. | 00:05:30 | |
| You know, avenues for water to. | 00:05:35 | |
| To exit an area so. | 00:05:37 | |
| You know, at the end of the day, if you don't get those things clear, you end up having problems with. | 00:05:38 | |
| Flash flooding and. | 00:05:42 | |
| You know, water being held in an area that it shouldn't be held in. | 00:05:43 | |
| Yep 100% it's very important like you said. I think I'll wait for the camera. | 00:05:46 | |
| So moving on to the register of claims, we have 3 from Ohm, 3 separate amounts. We have one from Heritage Engineering. | 00:05:54 | |
| Around equipment for the. | 00:06:02 | |
| The vehicle and then Compass com. | 00:06:04 | |
| For our ABL's so we're just. | 00:06:06 | |
| Looking for an approval for the claims for November. | 00:06:09 | |
| I'll make a motion to approve. | 00:06:13 | |
| Yeah, I have no questions on those. | 00:06:15 | |
| 2nd that motion. | 00:06:18 | |
| All in favor. | 00:06:19 | |
| Aye, aye. | 00:06:21 | |
| Thank you very much. | 00:06:23 | |
| All right, we have heritage with some erosion control. | 00:06:29 | |
| Good evening. | 00:06:33 | |
| Casey Deyoung with Heritage Engineering. | 00:06:36 | |
| This month we have 33 total sites. | 00:06:39 | |
| Eight of those sites are dormant. | 00:06:42 | |
| Five of them we've identified that are in the latter stage to where they can start filing their NOT notice of termination for the | 00:06:44 | |
| project and so we've. | 00:06:48 | |
| Requested as built from them to make sure that everything's been built. | 00:06:52 | |
| To plan in which case we can proceed with the not so hopefully five days will be coming off in the next couple months. | 00:06:55 | |
| 12 are compliant. | 00:07:01 | |
| 13 have a high probability of offsite sedimentation and 0 have any evidence of offsite sedimentation. | 00:07:03 | |
| After our inspections, we had two complaints called in. | 00:07:09 | |
| Last week. | 00:07:14 | |
| Kevin drove by the site. It was mud on the roadway. | 00:07:15 | |
| The East Ridge. | 00:07:18 | |
| And. | 00:07:21 | |
| Gateway Village. | 00:07:22 | |
| And Kevin was able to talk to both of the. | 00:07:24 | |
| Contractors, they are the assures they're going to sweep every single day they have been sweeping. One of them had an issue with | 00:07:26 | |
| their sweeper guy. | 00:07:29 | |
| Had a kid I guess and isn't showing up as much as he. | 00:07:32 | |
| He's been calling in quite a bit. | 00:07:34 | |
| And so they've assured us both that. | 00:07:36 | |
| They'll sweep every day, so. | 00:07:38 | |
| They seem motivated. | 00:07:40 | |
| So they were fine during our normal inspection, so it must have just been a bad day for them or something. | 00:07:41 | |
| To get the complaint called in. | 00:07:47 | |
| Any questions? | 00:07:50 | |
| No. | 00:07:52 | |
| Thank you, thank you, thank you. | 00:07:54 | |
| New business on Ordinance 20/25/24. | 00:07:59 | |
| Again, thank you for. | 00:08:11 | |
| Let me come up here. We just had a public hearing in which the public was allowed to speak on. | 00:08:12 | |
| Ordinance FCO 2025, Dash 2024. | 00:08:18 | |
| We are looking to give a recommendation to the Floyd County Commissioners. | 00:08:22 | |
| On. | 00:08:27 | |
| Which? | 00:08:28 | |
| Rate that they would like to. | 00:08:29 | |
| We would like for them to consider for. | 00:08:32 | |
| This ordinance the rates of $41.00 per year or $45 per year. | 00:08:35 | |
| I I think we talked about it. What? | 00:08:42 | |
| $41.00 does for the stormwater department and then what, 45? | 00:08:44 | |
| Dollars does for the stormwater department. | 00:08:48 | |
| So. | 00:08:50 | |
| Basically looking for a recommendation to send to the commissioners. | 00:08:53 | |
| From this body to. | 00:08:57 | |
| Move it to the commissioners at their next meeting here at 6:00. | 00:08:59 | |
| I have no further questions. I'd recommend that this board recommend that the commissioners that we move forward with the approval | 00:09:09 | |
| at the $45.00 rate. It's the difference between. | 00:09:13 | |
| Pun intended, treading water and. | 00:09:18 | |
| And being able to actually make some progress on the To Do List which grows every single. | 00:09:21 | |
| Month of every year. | 00:09:26 | |
| Mm-hmm. So. | 00:09:28 | |
| That's where I am on it that the can be. | 00:09:32 | |
| Reassessed in 2027. | 00:09:35 | |
| Not in 2026, according to the way that we've written this out here. | 00:09:37 | |
| And it squares up what should have been squared up a long time ago with the agricultural community with regards to. | 00:09:41 | |
| You know, equitably. | 00:09:49 | |
| You know, charges as far as I'm concerned, that would be my recommendation. | 00:09:51 | |
| You have to concur, I think. | 00:09:55 | |
| The data that I've seen, I'd have to say that the 45. | 00:09:56 | |
| Right, makes the most sense at this point. | 00:09:59 | |
| So are we looking for a formal motion? I've moved to. | 00:10:03 | |
| Make that recommendation to commissioners from this board. Well, then I'll second it. | 00:10:07 | |
| All in favor. | 00:10:11 | |
| Aye. | 00:10:13 | |
| This is 45. | 00:10:15 | |
| Rick, did we need to? | 00:10:20 | |
| Do that with unanimous consent or. | 00:10:21 | |
| Well, we just did. OK. Yeah, not no, I'm just. | 00:10:23 | |
| Didn't know if we needed to verbalize that or. | 00:10:26 | |
| Yeah. No, no, no. It's just a recommendation. You will. | 00:10:28 | |
| Goes to the Commission. OK, thank you. | 00:10:32 | |
| So I did talk to Jason Copperweight. | 00:10:34 | |
| This afternoon. | 00:10:37 | |
| I thought the public hearing would last a little bit longer than. | 00:10:39 | |
| The 5 minutes that it lasted, I told him about 15. He said that he would be able to be here around 4:45. | 00:10:42 | |
| He's about three more away from that, so we wanted to jump to the back truck. Yeah, let's discuss that. Let's talk about the. | 00:10:48 | |
| Good evening, Stan. I'll CFO from Floyd County Commissioners. | 00:11:06 | |
| It's been recommendation from. | 00:11:10 | |
| Coordination with Sydney Maine, director of public works. | 00:11:13 | |
| Regarding an addition to the back truck to. | 00:11:17 | |
| Make it more effective. | 00:11:21 | |
| To give it a better quality for Floyd County. | 00:11:23 | |
| I guess operations. | 00:11:28 | |
| To give Sydney the ability to do more than what he is currently capable of doing. | 00:11:30 | |
| And which sometimes lends to having to. | 00:11:36 | |
| Contract out, potentially even. | 00:11:39 | |
| Not be able to identify damage, that is. | 00:11:43 | |
| Potentially something that our Rd. department can personally take care of. | 00:11:47 | |
| More so than again, having a contract out. | 00:11:50 | |
| The request is to actually add. | 00:11:53 | |
| An equipment camera to the. | 00:11:57 | |
| Vac truck that we currently. | 00:11:59 | |
| How invested in? | 00:12:01 | |
| Close to. | 00:12:03 | |
| $4.5 million. | 00:12:04 | |
| Are 4.450 thousand. | 00:12:07 | |
| Scare me? | 00:12:11 | |
| You can see the bullets of sweat for their starting. I was like, wait a minute, I was gonna say sit down. Yeah. | 00:12:12 | |
| Yeah, umm. | 00:12:17 | |
| The cost actually was originally presented to the Stormwater board as a little over. | 00:12:18 | |
| $17,000 were requested 21. | 00:12:25 | |
| Just in case there were any incidentals. | 00:12:28 | |
| However, Sydney has been negotiating with brown equipment. | 00:12:30 | |
| Very strenuously, and he has the cost of this particular piece of equipment. | 00:12:34 | |
| As well as a. | 00:12:38 | |
| An E bulldozer scraper that we can also apply to the same purchase. | 00:12:40 | |
| Giving them even more ability to deal with situations within Floyd County. | 00:12:46 | |
| The actual cost came back at $16,365. | 00:12:52 | |
| So we had tried to identify. | 00:12:58 | |
| An opportunity within the storm water. | 00:13:01 | |
| Our budget currently. | 00:13:03 | |
| That we're not asking for additional monies within stormwater. | 00:13:06 | |
| But that we're taking unused appropriations. | 00:13:09 | |
| Reapplying them to purchasing this particular piece of equipment. | 00:13:11 | |
| Which obviously is a great asset also to the stormwater team. | 00:13:16 | |
| So what was I was able to identify is that it appeared that the salaries for the drainage crew are going to come in approximately | 00:13:20 | |
| $41,000 under. | 00:13:25 | |
| The appropriations that were set. | 00:13:30 | |
| My request is that we can that if you allow this purchase to go through. | 00:13:32 | |
| I've already filed a transfer with the Floyd County Auditor's Office and the Floyd County Council. It's on the agenda currently. | 00:13:36 | |
| Pending the outcome of your decision today. | 00:13:44 | |
| To transfer funds from category 1000 to category. | 00:13:46 | |
| 3000 so that we can go ahead and make this particular equipment purchase. | 00:13:51 | |
| So. | 00:13:56 | |
| So it's one piece of equipment, it's a. | 00:13:57 | |
| Pulled Dozer jet with a camera. | 00:14:01 | |
| Is that correct? | 00:14:03 | |
| OK. | 00:14:04 | |
| The camera, but I don't know about this other piece, so can you explain what that? | 00:14:07 | |
| Looks like yeah, there's the camera and there's the camera itself. Is is propelled with what's called a bulldozer jet. | 00:14:12 | |
| Which serves 2 purposes. 1 It serves the purpose of jetting out of culvert. | 00:14:19 | |
| Or a piping system. | 00:14:24 | |
| Whichever you're in. | 00:14:25 | |
| But it also carries the camera. | 00:14:27 | |
| Mm-hmm. The. | 00:14:28 | |
| Jet system is actually what propels the camera through the color. | 00:14:31 | |
| Basically like a nozzle, right? It's like a nozzle. | 00:14:35 | |
| Yeah, it's just got a lot of high pressure jets on it. | 00:14:37 | |
| So what you said it in there, you set the camera up on it. | 00:14:40 | |
| You don't want your cleaning. You don't need the camera. | 00:14:43 | |
| But once you get it cleaned where you can go in and see inspect the piping itself. | 00:14:46 | |
| You attach the camera to the top of that. | 00:14:49 | |
| And The Jets propel it through the piping. | 00:14:52 | |
| To the jet has. | 00:14:54 | |
| Utility. | 00:14:55 | |
| Even without the camera. | 00:14:56 | |
| Yes, absolutely. | 00:14:58 | |
| That's right. And and the combination is 16355. Yes, Sir. | 00:14:59 | |
| Because we've talked about 20 before, does that have a warranty on it? | 00:15:04 | |
| Yes, Sir. I'm not sure exactly what the warranty is. I haven't sat down with the. | 00:15:08 | |
| Distributor and the maker. | 00:15:13 | |
| My one question for them would be that. | 00:15:15 | |
| Is the warranty different than if we had purchased it along with the truck? | 00:15:18 | |
| And if it is, just see if they can give us whatever. | 00:15:22 | |
| We would have gotten. | 00:15:24 | |
| If we negotiate the best warranty, we can get out of the situation, without a doubt. | 00:15:26 | |
| And just just to clarify what it does. | 00:15:32 | |
| A service monitor digging a Cobra that we think's been. | 00:15:35 | |
| We can look at the government, see if it's bad. | 00:15:39 | |
| Which is going to save time. | 00:15:42 | |
| Equipment, uh. | 00:15:43 | |
| Materials. | 00:15:45 | |
| It sounds like this could pay for itself. | 00:15:46 | |
| Pretty quickly. | 00:15:48 | |
| Yes, based upon our previous conversations and what you presented tonight, so. | 00:15:49 | |
| I'm in favor and would. | 00:15:54 | |
| Move to approve that purchase. | 00:15:56 | |
| Now second it. | 00:15:58 | |
| All in favor. | 00:16:03 | |
| Aye. | 00:16:05 | |
| Thank you very much. | 00:16:07 | |
| For right? | 00:16:09 | |
| Absolutely. | 00:16:10 | |
| Absolutely. | 00:16:12 | |
| Good deal. | 00:16:15 | |
| You must see if Jason's closer. | 00:16:22 | |
| Over. | 00:16:57 | |
| You're up, buddy. | 00:17:04 | |
| Yeah, that's pretty cool. | 00:17:05 | |
| Sorry about that, we thought we'd be playing time with your other document. | 00:17:07 | |
| I'm good. How are you? | 00:17:16 | |
| Thanks, Jason. | 00:17:19 | |
| Good afternoon, Jason, copper weight with. | 00:17:30 | |
| Primavera and Associates. | 00:17:32 | |
| 1000 Bell Lane, New Albany, IN. | 00:17:34 | |
| Here representing Athena Mcgroup on Knob's landing. | 00:17:36 | |
| This is the I think the commissioners are familiar with. This is at the corner of Schreiber Road and Obanson's Road. | 00:17:41 | |
| Was approved either late last year, earlier this year for. | 00:17:47 | |
| PUD for mixed-use, retail and multi family. | 00:17:51 | |
| We've submitted drainage, initial drainage plans and those were. | 00:17:55 | |
| Reviewed by your third party engineer Heritage. | 00:17:59 | |
| There were a couple couple comments, a couple things we needed to discuss with you. | 00:18:03 | |
| One is we are utilizing some underground detention. | 00:18:07 | |
| Apologize, I'm out of breath a little bit. No, that's fine. | 00:18:10 | |
| Take your time. | 00:18:12 | |
| We're using some underground detention for the eastern watershed, which is parallel with Shriver. | 00:18:15 | |
| Under the terms of your manual, the stormwater board is. | 00:18:21 | |
| Required. | 00:18:25 | |
| Authorize that use of underground detention. | 00:18:26 | |
| This board has previously done that for. | 00:18:29 | |
| Knob Hill Apartments. | 00:18:32 | |
| Of 64. | 00:18:33 | |
| Schreiber Rd. itself and Obinson's Road uses underground detention as well. | 00:18:38 | |
| Internal to you right away. So it's not it's not unusual. | 00:18:42 | |
| And your manual provides maintenance requirements. | 00:18:45 | |
| Bonding requirements Easements requirements so. | 00:18:48 | |
| The county is well protected. | 00:18:51 | |
| If you were to authorize that. | 00:18:53 | |
| The other. | 00:18:55 | |
| And I know you just. | 00:18:56 | |
| Adopted a new stormwater manual. | 00:18:58 | |
| But this was submitted under the old stormwater manual, so. | 00:18:59 | |
| Which comes with some of the. | 00:19:03 | |
| Problems that you've seen as far as small orifice. | 00:19:04 | |
| Orifices and that kind of thing. | 00:19:07 | |
| This is a 7 acre site and so it has. | 00:19:09 | |
| But because it's so small, but it has four different watersheds. | 00:19:12 | |
| Places where water leaves the site. | 00:19:16 | |
| Which makes. | 00:19:18 | |
| That's seven acres divided roughly into 4. | 00:19:19 | |
| Which makes those discharges very small. | 00:19:21 | |
| The way your ordinance compares. | 00:19:24 | |
| Pre and post development. | 00:19:26 | |
| Drives the orifices down as well. | 00:19:27 | |
| We did put in as many. | 00:19:30 | |
| Clogging protection devices as we always did turn down. | 00:19:33 | |
| Orifices with sumps. | 00:19:37 | |
| Grades that protect it to keep them from. | 00:19:39 | |
| From clogging. | 00:19:41 | |
| Also the underground storage has. | 00:19:42 | |
| What's called isolator? | 00:19:45 | |
| Which means that anything goes in there. | 00:19:46 | |
| Basically push to a side that has a filtration device in it. | 00:19:49 | |
| Basically it's aligning the. | 00:19:53 | |
| Underground detention with. | 00:19:55 | |
| Filter fabric. | 00:19:57 | |
| So it hopefully it filters out a lot of those sediments before they can ever get to the council structure. So. | 00:19:58 | |
| Again, I think it's well protected. | 00:20:03 | |
| And so I would ask you for approval of those two items. | 00:20:05 | |
| So I have a question for you. | 00:20:08 | |
| Is anything deviated from the original plan or are you just trying to? | 00:20:10 | |
| Go with the new. | 00:20:15 | |
| Manual. | 00:20:17 | |
| It's still the old manual because it was submitted prior to the new manual. | 00:20:18 | |
| As far as the site plan, that nothing's deviated from the site plan that was approved. | 00:20:23 | |
| That's just curious. This is just one of the many. | 00:20:28 | |
| Technical items that we need to satisfy before. | 00:20:30 | |
| Construction can begin on the multifamily property. My question is similar. | 00:20:33 | |
| If this had been. | 00:20:37 | |
| Approved under the new manual. | 00:20:38 | |
| Would there be any need for any? | 00:20:40 | |
| I don't know because we've not run the calculations under the new manual. It was just all submitted under the old OK. | 00:20:43 | |
| We didn't. We didn't know what the manual said until right it was adopted. | 00:20:48 | |
| John, did you have any thoughts? | 00:20:56 | |
| No, I mean we've. | 00:21:01 | |
| We've approved. | 00:21:02 | |
| A lot of. | 00:21:03 | |
| Underground attention. | 00:21:05 | |
| You know, throughout and to make projects work. So I don't, I don't have. | 00:21:06 | |
| What's the oldest? | 00:21:10 | |
| Underground attention similar to this. | 00:21:12 | |
| To your knowledge in the county? | 00:21:14 | |
| 10 years ago. 20 years ago. | 00:21:16 | |
| My next question is, is it still functioning, you know, or have there been upgrades to? | 00:21:20 | |
| Heather maintained. I mean, I would suspect there is, there's underground out there, 20 years old. | 00:21:23 | |
| Probably the oldest one that we did. | 00:21:30 | |
| Was in New Albany, not in the county. | 00:21:32 | |
| Was the. | 00:21:34 | |
| The strip center at Talena Dr. behind the old Frisch's OK, that's been there for a good 15 years, if not 20. | 00:21:35 | |
| Yeah, and it's still functioning well as far as I know. | 00:21:42 | |
| For CBS's at the hospitals of underground detention, that's probably getting close to 10. | 00:21:47 | |
| On State Street. | 00:21:51 | |
| Nob Hill is probably at. | 00:21:53 | |
| Five or six years, it's not been turned over yet, but. | 00:21:55 | |
| As far as I know, it's functioning. | 00:21:59 | |
| Pretty common practice isn't it, within the industry? | 00:22:01 | |
| When you it's not preferred because it's more expensive, right? But when you have high lane values. | 00:22:03 | |
| And most of it's paved. The only choice you have is to. | 00:22:09 | |
| Put it underground, sorry. | 00:22:12 | |
| It's not certainly not a developer's choice. | 00:22:13 | |
| But they have. | 00:22:16 | |
| Proven to work well. | 00:22:17 | |
| Yeah. | 00:22:18 | |
| We just did one over on Veterans. | 00:22:20 | |
| Underground and. | 00:22:23 | |
| Yeah, so it's happening. | 00:22:25 | |
| Mm-hmm. Yeah, currently. | 00:22:27 | |
| I think as land values. | 00:22:29 | |
| Increase. | 00:22:31 | |
| Which requires more. | 00:22:32 | |
| Dense developments. I think you're going to be seeing them more and more as time goes on. | 00:22:34 | |
| Well, I have no issue with it. | 00:22:41 | |
| The only thing that I have concerned with is that. | 00:22:44 | |
| Basin 1 is. | 00:22:54 | |
| Right up against the existing home there on Testimony Drive. | 00:22:57 | |
| We talked to Mike about this. It's one of our comments. I think it's coming 22, maybe just how the basin is higher than the | 00:23:01 | |
| finished floor of that building. | 00:23:05 | |
| And it's only. | 00:23:09 | |
| A few feet off the edge of that building. | 00:23:11 | |
| And so he was going to work on that. We haven't seen anything on that yet, you know, but that's one of the. | 00:23:13 | |
| Small orifice sizes that you're talking about again? | 00:23:17 | |
| Which home? | 00:23:19 | |
| So. | 00:23:20 | |
| Yeah, Casey, which one? | 00:23:22 | |
| Yeah, that's basin one right there. It's not the converse aren't showing on this, but the building looks like it's like right on | 00:23:26 | |
| the property line. | 00:23:29 | |
| And the basin is. | 00:23:33 | |
| 3/4. | 00:23:34 | |
| But he also might convert I do you know? | 00:23:35 | |
| But the. | 00:23:38 | |
| You know the. | 00:23:39 | |
| The stormwater manual requires that. | 00:23:40 | |
| Upstream and adjacent basins. | 00:23:43 | |
| That there be a 1 foot buffer between the. | 00:23:46 | |
| Minimal opening elevation. | 00:23:48 | |
| Jason Structures in the top of Burn, we don't have that in this case. So Michael is going to work on that for yeah. | 00:23:50 | |
| I don't know what aim of that, you know. Sure. Well, we have 0 lot lines a lot of times. | 00:23:56 | |
| Right, especially with these patio homes and it wouldn't surprise me if the houses. | 00:24:02 | |
| Right down the line, I know Woods. Lafayette's like that. | 00:24:07 | |
| I think in if you step off your. | 00:24:10 | |
| If you try to go to your front door. | 00:24:14 | |
| To your back door, your trust. | 00:24:17 | |
| Right. I mean I think it is 0 lot line and also Mr. Theman had. | 00:24:19 | |
| Part of the zoning approval was for him to construct a wall. | 00:24:25 | |
| Along that. | 00:24:28 | |
| On his side to make sure. | 00:24:29 | |
| That it's buffered from his development. | 00:24:31 | |
| So I think it's well protected from the stormwater we we are still working through. | 00:24:33 | |
| Lowering that basin to make sure that it's. | 00:24:37 | |
| Below. | 00:24:40 | |
| I guess what we're asking for is to is to approve down to. | 00:24:42 | |
| What we've shown on the plans, which the smallest ones are. | 00:24:46 | |
| 2 1/2 inches. | 00:24:49 | |
| So we would just ask you to approve down to that size and then as we continue to work with Heritage to achieve approval. | 00:24:52 | |
| Will either be there or larger. | 00:24:58 | |
| So we're just approving the orifice size and then all of that will get worked out. We're still and I'm not asking for a variance | 00:25:01 | |
| for any of that. | 00:25:04 | |
| So. | 00:25:07 | |
| That's our plan. | 00:25:10 | |
| OK, as long as it's if we if we can't, we'll have further discussions, but that's our plan. | 00:25:11 | |
| They always work with this in advance, that's my only concern is. | 00:25:15 | |
| You know, having a water service higher than the concerning so. | 00:25:17 | |
| And I can tell you that the piping system that's there. | 00:25:23 | |
| Is sized to take 100 year storm post development. | 00:25:25 | |
| So but but there can be storms that are larger than 100, so obviously want to. | 00:25:28 | |
| We don't want to. | 00:25:32 | |
| Damaged downstream land owners, obviously. So yeah, we can. We will continue to work with Harries on that. | 00:25:33 | |
| Yeah. I'd almost recommend to the board that you could approve this conditionally that. | 00:25:37 | |
| They are able to get that basin below the. | 00:25:42 | |
| Bottom floor of the neighboring. | 00:25:46 | |
| Structure. Umm. | 00:25:48 | |
| And then you could prove that. | 00:25:50 | |
| Emphasize on that condition. | 00:25:52 | |
| They're able to. If they're not able to, then they need to come back in front of the board and talk about why they can't and maybe | 00:25:53 | |
| what the alternative plan would be for that. | 00:25:57 | |
| I think that, yeah, I mean, I agree that's. | 00:26:03 | |
| Basically what I'm asking for if I can't. | 00:26:06 | |
| If I can't meet, if I can't answer all their concerns. | 00:26:08 | |
| We would have to come back and have a discussion, but. | 00:26:11 | |
| As it is, we're intending to. | 00:26:13 | |
| Yeah, you guys always. | 00:26:15 | |
| Yeah. | 00:26:16 | |
| Yeah, we're intending to address their concerns. | 00:26:17 | |
| It's just that they can't approve a smaller size without your approval. | 00:26:21 | |
| Nor can they approve an underground basin without your approval. | 00:26:25 | |
| So anything that they've noted? | 00:26:28 | |
| We're trying to address. | 00:26:30 | |
| If we can't, then we'll have to come back. | 00:26:31 | |
| OK, looking for a motion. | 00:26:36 | |
| Well, I'll make a motion that we approve based upon the staff recommendations. | 00:26:38 | |
| So orphosizes down to 2 1/2 inches, contingent upon. | 00:26:44 | |
| All of the other concerns being. | 00:26:48 | |
| Addressed OK. | 00:26:50 | |
| I'll second that. | 00:26:54 | |
| All in favor. | 00:26:56 | |
| Aye. | 00:26:58 | |
| Thank you very much. | 00:27:00 | |
| Appreciate it. | 00:27:02 | |
| OK. | 00:27:06 | |
| Any public comment? | 00:27:10 | |
| Motion to adjourn. | 00:27:13 | |
| Motion to adjourn carried. | 00:27:14 |
Transcript
| We're going to open the public hearing. | 00:00:00 | |
| On the storm water management user fee. | 00:00:02 | |
| So join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. | 00:00:08 | |
| I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. | 00:00:12 | |
| And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God. | 00:00:16 | |
| And it is a lot of liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:21 | |
| OK, this is a public hearing. | 00:00:26 | |
| So. | 00:00:28 | |
| Do we have any members of the public that would like to express their concern? | 00:00:30 | |
| Dale. Mann, Georgiann. | 00:00:42 | |
| Again, I want to thank you, Commissioners, for. | 00:00:43 | |
| Considering agriculture. | 00:00:46 | |
| So it should have been kind of do. | 00:00:49 | |
| For a long time. | 00:00:50 | |
| But I also want to recommend that the $41.00 is what was agreed. | 00:00:52 | |
| Was asked years ago. | 00:00:56 | |
| Before you guys. | 00:00:58 | |
| And I think it's fair and equitable. I think if stormwater we. | 00:01:00 | |
| Go by the ordinances. | 00:01:03 | |
| That has been written. | 00:01:05 | |
| Would start using stop using so many consultants. | 00:01:07 | |
| It may be the $41.00 would be sufficient. | 00:01:12 | |
| Instead of 45 and you know as we talked. | 00:01:15 | |
| It's not exponential. It doesn't just keep raising because that's too hard. | 00:01:17 | |
| But in four or five years, if you need more money then ask for it then. | 00:01:21 | |
| But $41 to $2.00 more was what was told to us. | 00:01:25 | |
| But not you guys, but the commissioners before, if we ever got it. | 00:01:29 | |
| If agriculture ever got considered the way they should have been. | 00:01:33 | |
| You know, in my opinion, again, thank you guys for even doing it period. Thank you. | 00:01:36 | |
| Thank you. | 00:01:45 | |
| Anybody else care to weigh in? | 00:01:46 | |
| You want the? Do you want the standard to give the presentation again or? | 00:01:50 | |
| I don't know where we can. | 00:01:58 | |
| Have there been any significant changes since the last time to the? | 00:02:01 | |
| Since you since since the last time it was presented. | 00:02:05 | |
| Now, I wouldn't want them to do that. | 00:02:09 | |
| I heard it the first time. | 00:02:14 | |
| Guys, good. | 00:02:17 | |
| Yes. | 00:02:19 | |
| OK. | 00:02:22 | |
| Anybody else? | 00:02:24 | |
| I want to take a motion to close the. | 00:02:27 | |
| I'll make a motion. | 00:02:33 | |
| I'll second. | 00:02:35 | |
| All in favor, aye aye. | 00:02:37 | |
| Meetings closed. | 00:02:39 | |
| We'll move on to the. | 00:02:41 | |
| Storm water board. | 00:02:43 | |
| Do I need a motion for approval of the minutes for October? | 00:02:49 | |
| So moved. | 00:02:53 | |
| And second, all in favor. | 00:02:54 | |
| Aye. | 00:02:57 | |
| Aye, the daily maintenance reports Chris. | 00:02:59 | |
| Well, we have a. | 00:03:12 | |
| Sydney, Maine The. | 00:03:13 | |
| Public works director here, and he can probably speak on these a little bit better than I can since he's the one that actually | 00:03:15 | |
| does the daily maintenance of the. | 00:03:20 | |
| Different. | 00:03:25 | |
| Jobs at the. | 00:03:27 | |
| Guys perform on a daily basis, but. | 00:03:29 | |
| We were in Highland Lake Estates quite a bit this past month. | 00:03:32 | |
| We did some opening and some culverts. | 00:03:36 | |
| The Greenville. | 00:03:39 | |
| Galena area again opened up some culverts. | 00:03:41 | |
| Bud Rd. Jefferson Gardens, we were in. | 00:03:44 | |
| Like I said, we spend a lot of time in Highland Lake Estates. | 00:03:47 | |
| So we did quite a bit of work this past month. | 00:03:50 | |
| And everything else. | 00:03:53 | |
| You had asked at the last meeting. | 00:03:55 | |
| That we. | 00:03:57 | |
| Pull out the pumper truck. | 00:03:58 | |
| Work orders and everything else. So in the back of your. | 00:04:02 | |
| Packet of this. There you'll see three different work orders of where the pupper truck had been in the. | 00:04:05 | |
| Past month and everything else so we. | 00:04:11 | |
| Kind of hit the. | 00:04:13 | |
| Jefferson Gardens. | 00:04:15 | |
| Country View. Lafayette area. | 00:04:17 | |
| And uh. | 00:04:19 | |
| Catch basins off the Saint Joseph's Road. | 00:04:20 | |
| Everything else so. | 00:04:23 | |
| So pump the truck was used and everything wrong so. | 00:04:25 | |
| Can people? | 00:04:27 | |
| Know that they can. | 00:04:30 | |
| Report. | 00:04:31 | |
| A request for the use of that truck. | 00:04:32 | |
| Similar to how the pothole. | 00:04:36 | |
| Number that we have, that we talked about. | 00:04:37 | |
| I mean, we, we have. | 00:04:40 | |
| Produce that in the past to let the public know. I don't know if we have in the last few years, especially with the truck that we | 00:04:42 | |
| had in the past not being. | 00:04:46 | |
| Serviceable for the most part, but. | 00:04:51 | |
| You know, we could definitely try to do it. | 00:04:53 | |
| Through social media, get some more help that yeah, I think they'd be nice. I mean that they can request. | 00:04:55 | |
| Puffer truck to come out to clean out their driveway culvert again. | 00:05:01 | |
| They would have to fill out a form that does not hold us liable for cleaning that out if there happened to be any damage they | 00:05:05 | |
| would be responsible for. | 00:05:09 | |
| That of their own pipe and everything else. | 00:05:14 | |
| Yeah, I think that'd be good. | 00:05:16 | |
| We can. We can do their truck. Let's let's get it. Let's make sure it's used. | 00:05:18 | |
| That we can do that in starting here in November and. | 00:05:22 | |
| And get it out a couple different times. Well, I think it's important this time of year too, because, you know, as fall comes and | 00:05:25 | |
| all the leaves and stuff coming out, it starts including ditches and Oh yeah, you know, other. | 00:05:30 | |
| You know, avenues for water to. | 00:05:35 | |
| To exit an area so. | 00:05:37 | |
| You know, at the end of the day, if you don't get those things clear, you end up having problems with. | 00:05:38 | |
| Flash flooding and. | 00:05:42 | |
| You know, water being held in an area that it shouldn't be held in. | 00:05:43 | |
| Yep 100% it's very important like you said. I think I'll wait for the camera. | 00:05:46 | |
| So moving on to the register of claims, we have 3 from Ohm, 3 separate amounts. We have one from Heritage Engineering. | 00:05:54 | |
| Around equipment for the. | 00:06:02 | |
| The vehicle and then Compass com. | 00:06:04 | |
| For our ABL's so we're just. | 00:06:06 | |
| Looking for an approval for the claims for November. | 00:06:09 | |
| I'll make a motion to approve. | 00:06:13 | |
| Yeah, I have no questions on those. | 00:06:15 | |
| 2nd that motion. | 00:06:18 | |
| All in favor. | 00:06:19 | |
| Aye, aye. | 00:06:21 | |
| Thank you very much. | 00:06:23 | |
| All right, we have heritage with some erosion control. | 00:06:29 | |
| Good evening. | 00:06:33 | |
| Casey Deyoung with Heritage Engineering. | 00:06:36 | |
| This month we have 33 total sites. | 00:06:39 | |
| Eight of those sites are dormant. | 00:06:42 | |
| Five of them we've identified that are in the latter stage to where they can start filing their NOT notice of termination for the | 00:06:44 | |
| project and so we've. | 00:06:48 | |
| Requested as built from them to make sure that everything's been built. | 00:06:52 | |
| To plan in which case we can proceed with the not so hopefully five days will be coming off in the next couple months. | 00:06:55 | |
| 12 are compliant. | 00:07:01 | |
| 13 have a high probability of offsite sedimentation and 0 have any evidence of offsite sedimentation. | 00:07:03 | |
| After our inspections, we had two complaints called in. | 00:07:09 | |
| Last week. | 00:07:14 | |
| Kevin drove by the site. It was mud on the roadway. | 00:07:15 | |
| The East Ridge. | 00:07:18 | |
| And. | 00:07:21 | |
| Gateway Village. | 00:07:22 | |
| And Kevin was able to talk to both of the. | 00:07:24 | |
| Contractors, they are the assures they're going to sweep every single day they have been sweeping. One of them had an issue with | 00:07:26 | |
| their sweeper guy. | 00:07:29 | |
| Had a kid I guess and isn't showing up as much as he. | 00:07:32 | |
| He's been calling in quite a bit. | 00:07:34 | |
| And so they've assured us both that. | 00:07:36 | |
| They'll sweep every day, so. | 00:07:38 | |
| They seem motivated. | 00:07:40 | |
| So they were fine during our normal inspection, so it must have just been a bad day for them or something. | 00:07:41 | |
| To get the complaint called in. | 00:07:47 | |
| Any questions? | 00:07:50 | |
| No. | 00:07:52 | |
| Thank you, thank you, thank you. | 00:07:54 | |
| New business on Ordinance 20/25/24. | 00:07:59 | |
| Again, thank you for. | 00:08:11 | |
| Let me come up here. We just had a public hearing in which the public was allowed to speak on. | 00:08:12 | |
| Ordinance FCO 2025, Dash 2024. | 00:08:18 | |
| We are looking to give a recommendation to the Floyd County Commissioners. | 00:08:22 | |
| On. | 00:08:27 | |
| Which? | 00:08:28 | |
| Rate that they would like to. | 00:08:29 | |
| We would like for them to consider for. | 00:08:32 | |
| This ordinance the rates of $41.00 per year or $45 per year. | 00:08:35 | |
| I I think we talked about it. What? | 00:08:42 | |
| $41.00 does for the stormwater department and then what, 45? | 00:08:44 | |
| Dollars does for the stormwater department. | 00:08:48 | |
| So. | 00:08:50 | |
| Basically looking for a recommendation to send to the commissioners. | 00:08:53 | |
| From this body to. | 00:08:57 | |
| Move it to the commissioners at their next meeting here at 6:00. | 00:08:59 | |
| I have no further questions. I'd recommend that this board recommend that the commissioners that we move forward with the approval | 00:09:09 | |
| at the $45.00 rate. It's the difference between. | 00:09:13 | |
| Pun intended, treading water and. | 00:09:18 | |
| And being able to actually make some progress on the To Do List which grows every single. | 00:09:21 | |
| Month of every year. | 00:09:26 | |
| Mm-hmm. So. | 00:09:28 | |
| That's where I am on it that the can be. | 00:09:32 | |
| Reassessed in 2027. | 00:09:35 | |
| Not in 2026, according to the way that we've written this out here. | 00:09:37 | |
| And it squares up what should have been squared up a long time ago with the agricultural community with regards to. | 00:09:41 | |
| You know, equitably. | 00:09:49 | |
| You know, charges as far as I'm concerned, that would be my recommendation. | 00:09:51 | |
| You have to concur, I think. | 00:09:55 | |
| The data that I've seen, I'd have to say that the 45. | 00:09:56 | |
| Right, makes the most sense at this point. | 00:09:59 | |
| So are we looking for a formal motion? I've moved to. | 00:10:03 | |
| Make that recommendation to commissioners from this board. Well, then I'll second it. | 00:10:07 | |
| All in favor. | 00:10:11 | |
| Aye. | 00:10:13 | |
| This is 45. | 00:10:15 | |
| Rick, did we need to? | 00:10:20 | |
| Do that with unanimous consent or. | 00:10:21 | |
| Well, we just did. OK. Yeah, not no, I'm just. | 00:10:23 | |
| Didn't know if we needed to verbalize that or. | 00:10:26 | |
| Yeah. No, no, no. It's just a recommendation. You will. | 00:10:28 | |
| Goes to the Commission. OK, thank you. | 00:10:32 | |
| So I did talk to Jason Copperweight. | 00:10:34 | |
| This afternoon. | 00:10:37 | |
| I thought the public hearing would last a little bit longer than. | 00:10:39 | |
| The 5 minutes that it lasted, I told him about 15. He said that he would be able to be here around 4:45. | 00:10:42 | |
| He's about three more away from that, so we wanted to jump to the back truck. Yeah, let's discuss that. Let's talk about the. | 00:10:48 | |
| Good evening, Stan. I'll CFO from Floyd County Commissioners. | 00:11:06 | |
| It's been recommendation from. | 00:11:10 | |
| Coordination with Sydney Maine, director of public works. | 00:11:13 | |
| Regarding an addition to the back truck to. | 00:11:17 | |
| Make it more effective. | 00:11:21 | |
| To give it a better quality for Floyd County. | 00:11:23 | |
| I guess operations. | 00:11:28 | |
| To give Sydney the ability to do more than what he is currently capable of doing. | 00:11:30 | |
| And which sometimes lends to having to. | 00:11:36 | |
| Contract out, potentially even. | 00:11:39 | |
| Not be able to identify damage, that is. | 00:11:43 | |
| Potentially something that our Rd. department can personally take care of. | 00:11:47 | |
| More so than again, having a contract out. | 00:11:50 | |
| The request is to actually add. | 00:11:53 | |
| An equipment camera to the. | 00:11:57 | |
| Vac truck that we currently. | 00:11:59 | |
| How invested in? | 00:12:01 | |
| Close to. | 00:12:03 | |
| $4.5 million. | 00:12:04 | |
| Are 4.450 thousand. | 00:12:07 | |
| Scare me? | 00:12:11 | |
| You can see the bullets of sweat for their starting. I was like, wait a minute, I was gonna say sit down. Yeah. | 00:12:12 | |
| Yeah, umm. | 00:12:17 | |
| The cost actually was originally presented to the Stormwater board as a little over. | 00:12:18 | |
| $17,000 were requested 21. | 00:12:25 | |
| Just in case there were any incidentals. | 00:12:28 | |
| However, Sydney has been negotiating with brown equipment. | 00:12:30 | |
| Very strenuously, and he has the cost of this particular piece of equipment. | 00:12:34 | |
| As well as a. | 00:12:38 | |
| An E bulldozer scraper that we can also apply to the same purchase. | 00:12:40 | |
| Giving them even more ability to deal with situations within Floyd County. | 00:12:46 | |
| The actual cost came back at $16,365. | 00:12:52 | |
| So we had tried to identify. | 00:12:58 | |
| An opportunity within the storm water. | 00:13:01 | |
| Our budget currently. | 00:13:03 | |
| That we're not asking for additional monies within stormwater. | 00:13:06 | |
| But that we're taking unused appropriations. | 00:13:09 | |
| Reapplying them to purchasing this particular piece of equipment. | 00:13:11 | |
| Which obviously is a great asset also to the stormwater team. | 00:13:16 | |
| So what was I was able to identify is that it appeared that the salaries for the drainage crew are going to come in approximately | 00:13:20 | |
| $41,000 under. | 00:13:25 | |
| The appropriations that were set. | 00:13:30 | |
| My request is that we can that if you allow this purchase to go through. | 00:13:32 | |
| I've already filed a transfer with the Floyd County Auditor's Office and the Floyd County Council. It's on the agenda currently. | 00:13:36 | |
| Pending the outcome of your decision today. | 00:13:44 | |
| To transfer funds from category 1000 to category. | 00:13:46 | |
| 3000 so that we can go ahead and make this particular equipment purchase. | 00:13:51 | |
| So. | 00:13:56 | |
| So it's one piece of equipment, it's a. | 00:13:57 | |
| Pulled Dozer jet with a camera. | 00:14:01 | |
| Is that correct? | 00:14:03 | |
| OK. | 00:14:04 | |
| The camera, but I don't know about this other piece, so can you explain what that? | 00:14:07 | |
| Looks like yeah, there's the camera and there's the camera itself. Is is propelled with what's called a bulldozer jet. | 00:14:12 | |
| Which serves 2 purposes. 1 It serves the purpose of jetting out of culvert. | 00:14:19 | |
| Or a piping system. | 00:14:24 | |
| Whichever you're in. | 00:14:25 | |
| But it also carries the camera. | 00:14:27 | |
| Mm-hmm. The. | 00:14:28 | |
| Jet system is actually what propels the camera through the color. | 00:14:31 | |
| Basically like a nozzle, right? It's like a nozzle. | 00:14:35 | |
| Yeah, it's just got a lot of high pressure jets on it. | 00:14:37 | |
| So what you said it in there, you set the camera up on it. | 00:14:40 | |
| You don't want your cleaning. You don't need the camera. | 00:14:43 | |
| But once you get it cleaned where you can go in and see inspect the piping itself. | 00:14:46 | |
| You attach the camera to the top of that. | 00:14:49 | |
| And The Jets propel it through the piping. | 00:14:52 | |
| To the jet has. | 00:14:54 | |
| Utility. | 00:14:55 | |
| Even without the camera. | 00:14:56 | |
| Yes, absolutely. | 00:14:58 | |
| That's right. And and the combination is 16355. Yes, Sir. | 00:14:59 | |
| Because we've talked about 20 before, does that have a warranty on it? | 00:15:04 | |
| Yes, Sir. I'm not sure exactly what the warranty is. I haven't sat down with the. | 00:15:08 | |
| Distributor and the maker. | 00:15:13 | |
| My one question for them would be that. | 00:15:15 | |
| Is the warranty different than if we had purchased it along with the truck? | 00:15:18 | |
| And if it is, just see if they can give us whatever. | 00:15:22 | |
| We would have gotten. | 00:15:24 | |
| If we negotiate the best warranty, we can get out of the situation, without a doubt. | 00:15:26 | |
| And just just to clarify what it does. | 00:15:32 | |
| A service monitor digging a Cobra that we think's been. | 00:15:35 | |
| We can look at the government, see if it's bad. | 00:15:39 | |
| Which is going to save time. | 00:15:42 | |
| Equipment, uh. | 00:15:43 | |
| Materials. | 00:15:45 | |
| It sounds like this could pay for itself. | 00:15:46 | |
| Pretty quickly. | 00:15:48 | |
| Yes, based upon our previous conversations and what you presented tonight, so. | 00:15:49 | |
| I'm in favor and would. | 00:15:54 | |
| Move to approve that purchase. | 00:15:56 | |
| Now second it. | 00:15:58 | |
| All in favor. | 00:16:03 | |
| Aye. | 00:16:05 | |
| Thank you very much. | 00:16:07 | |
| For right? | 00:16:09 | |
| Absolutely. | 00:16:10 | |
| Absolutely. | 00:16:12 | |
| Good deal. | 00:16:15 | |
| You must see if Jason's closer. | 00:16:22 | |
| Over. | 00:16:57 | |
| You're up, buddy. | 00:17:04 | |
| Yeah, that's pretty cool. | 00:17:05 | |
| Sorry about that, we thought we'd be playing time with your other document. | 00:17:07 | |
| I'm good. How are you? | 00:17:16 | |
| Thanks, Jason. | 00:17:19 | |
| Good afternoon, Jason, copper weight with. | 00:17:30 | |
| Primavera and Associates. | 00:17:32 | |
| 1000 Bell Lane, New Albany, IN. | 00:17:34 | |
| Here representing Athena Mcgroup on Knob's landing. | 00:17:36 | |
| This is the I think the commissioners are familiar with. This is at the corner of Schreiber Road and Obanson's Road. | 00:17:41 | |
| Was approved either late last year, earlier this year for. | 00:17:47 | |
| PUD for mixed-use, retail and multi family. | 00:17:51 | |
| We've submitted drainage, initial drainage plans and those were. | 00:17:55 | |
| Reviewed by your third party engineer Heritage. | 00:17:59 | |
| There were a couple couple comments, a couple things we needed to discuss with you. | 00:18:03 | |
| One is we are utilizing some underground detention. | 00:18:07 | |
| Apologize, I'm out of breath a little bit. No, that's fine. | 00:18:10 | |
| Take your time. | 00:18:12 | |
| We're using some underground detention for the eastern watershed, which is parallel with Shriver. | 00:18:15 | |
| Under the terms of your manual, the stormwater board is. | 00:18:21 | |
| Required. | 00:18:25 | |
| Authorize that use of underground detention. | 00:18:26 | |
| This board has previously done that for. | 00:18:29 | |
| Knob Hill Apartments. | 00:18:32 | |
| Of 64. | 00:18:33 | |
| Schreiber Rd. itself and Obinson's Road uses underground detention as well. | 00:18:38 | |
| Internal to you right away. So it's not it's not unusual. | 00:18:42 | |
| And your manual provides maintenance requirements. | 00:18:45 | |
| Bonding requirements Easements requirements so. | 00:18:48 | |
| The county is well protected. | 00:18:51 | |
| If you were to authorize that. | 00:18:53 | |
| The other. | 00:18:55 | |
| And I know you just. | 00:18:56 | |
| Adopted a new stormwater manual. | 00:18:58 | |
| But this was submitted under the old stormwater manual, so. | 00:18:59 | |
| Which comes with some of the. | 00:19:03 | |
| Problems that you've seen as far as small orifice. | 00:19:04 | |
| Orifices and that kind of thing. | 00:19:07 | |
| This is a 7 acre site and so it has. | 00:19:09 | |
| But because it's so small, but it has four different watersheds. | 00:19:12 | |
| Places where water leaves the site. | 00:19:16 | |
| Which makes. | 00:19:18 | |
| That's seven acres divided roughly into 4. | 00:19:19 | |
| Which makes those discharges very small. | 00:19:21 | |
| The way your ordinance compares. | 00:19:24 | |
| Pre and post development. | 00:19:26 | |
| Drives the orifices down as well. | 00:19:27 | |
| We did put in as many. | 00:19:30 | |
| Clogging protection devices as we always did turn down. | 00:19:33 | |
| Orifices with sumps. | 00:19:37 | |
| Grades that protect it to keep them from. | 00:19:39 | |
| From clogging. | 00:19:41 | |
| Also the underground storage has. | 00:19:42 | |
| What's called isolator? | 00:19:45 | |
| Which means that anything goes in there. | 00:19:46 | |
| Basically push to a side that has a filtration device in it. | 00:19:49 | |
| Basically it's aligning the. | 00:19:53 | |
| Underground detention with. | 00:19:55 | |
| Filter fabric. | 00:19:57 | |
| So it hopefully it filters out a lot of those sediments before they can ever get to the council structure. So. | 00:19:58 | |
| Again, I think it's well protected. | 00:20:03 | |
| And so I would ask you for approval of those two items. | 00:20:05 | |
| So I have a question for you. | 00:20:08 | |
| Is anything deviated from the original plan or are you just trying to? | 00:20:10 | |
| Go with the new. | 00:20:15 | |
| Manual. | 00:20:17 | |
| It's still the old manual because it was submitted prior to the new manual. | 00:20:18 | |
| As far as the site plan, that nothing's deviated from the site plan that was approved. | 00:20:23 | |
| That's just curious. This is just one of the many. | 00:20:28 | |
| Technical items that we need to satisfy before. | 00:20:30 | |
| Construction can begin on the multifamily property. My question is similar. | 00:20:33 | |
| If this had been. | 00:20:37 | |
| Approved under the new manual. | 00:20:38 | |
| Would there be any need for any? | 00:20:40 | |
| I don't know because we've not run the calculations under the new manual. It was just all submitted under the old OK. | 00:20:43 | |
| We didn't. We didn't know what the manual said until right it was adopted. | 00:20:48 | |
| John, did you have any thoughts? | 00:20:56 | |
| No, I mean we've. | 00:21:01 | |
| We've approved. | 00:21:02 | |
| A lot of. | 00:21:03 | |
| Underground attention. | 00:21:05 | |
| You know, throughout and to make projects work. So I don't, I don't have. | 00:21:06 | |
| What's the oldest? | 00:21:10 | |
| Underground attention similar to this. | 00:21:12 | |
| To your knowledge in the county? | 00:21:14 | |
| 10 years ago. 20 years ago. | 00:21:16 | |
| My next question is, is it still functioning, you know, or have there been upgrades to? | 00:21:20 | |
| Heather maintained. I mean, I would suspect there is, there's underground out there, 20 years old. | 00:21:23 | |
| Probably the oldest one that we did. | 00:21:30 | |
| Was in New Albany, not in the county. | 00:21:32 | |
| Was the. | 00:21:34 | |
| The strip center at Talena Dr. behind the old Frisch's OK, that's been there for a good 15 years, if not 20. | 00:21:35 | |
| Yeah, and it's still functioning well as far as I know. | 00:21:42 | |
| For CBS's at the hospitals of underground detention, that's probably getting close to 10. | 00:21:47 | |
| On State Street. | 00:21:51 | |
| Nob Hill is probably at. | 00:21:53 | |
| Five or six years, it's not been turned over yet, but. | 00:21:55 | |
| As far as I know, it's functioning. | 00:21:59 | |
| Pretty common practice isn't it, within the industry? | 00:22:01 | |
| When you it's not preferred because it's more expensive, right? But when you have high lane values. | 00:22:03 | |
| And most of it's paved. The only choice you have is to. | 00:22:09 | |
| Put it underground, sorry. | 00:22:12 | |
| It's not certainly not a developer's choice. | 00:22:13 | |
| But they have. | 00:22:16 | |
| Proven to work well. | 00:22:17 | |
| Yeah. | 00:22:18 | |
| We just did one over on Veterans. | 00:22:20 | |
| Underground and. | 00:22:23 | |
| Yeah, so it's happening. | 00:22:25 | |
| Mm-hmm. Yeah, currently. | 00:22:27 | |
| I think as land values. | 00:22:29 | |
| Increase. | 00:22:31 | |
| Which requires more. | 00:22:32 | |
| Dense developments. I think you're going to be seeing them more and more as time goes on. | 00:22:34 | |
| Well, I have no issue with it. | 00:22:41 | |
| The only thing that I have concerned with is that. | 00:22:44 | |
| Basin 1 is. | 00:22:54 | |
| Right up against the existing home there on Testimony Drive. | 00:22:57 | |
| We talked to Mike about this. It's one of our comments. I think it's coming 22, maybe just how the basin is higher than the | 00:23:01 | |
| finished floor of that building. | 00:23:05 | |
| And it's only. | 00:23:09 | |
| A few feet off the edge of that building. | 00:23:11 | |
| And so he was going to work on that. We haven't seen anything on that yet, you know, but that's one of the. | 00:23:13 | |
| Small orifice sizes that you're talking about again? | 00:23:17 | |
| Which home? | 00:23:19 | |
| So. | 00:23:20 | |
| Yeah, Casey, which one? | 00:23:22 | |
| Yeah, that's basin one right there. It's not the converse aren't showing on this, but the building looks like it's like right on | 00:23:26 | |
| the property line. | 00:23:29 | |
| And the basin is. | 00:23:33 | |
| 3/4. | 00:23:34 | |
| But he also might convert I do you know? | 00:23:35 | |
| But the. | 00:23:38 | |
| You know the. | 00:23:39 | |
| The stormwater manual requires that. | 00:23:40 | |
| Upstream and adjacent basins. | 00:23:43 | |
| That there be a 1 foot buffer between the. | 00:23:46 | |
| Minimal opening elevation. | 00:23:48 | |
| Jason Structures in the top of Burn, we don't have that in this case. So Michael is going to work on that for yeah. | 00:23:50 | |
| I don't know what aim of that, you know. Sure. Well, we have 0 lot lines a lot of times. | 00:23:56 | |
| Right, especially with these patio homes and it wouldn't surprise me if the houses. | 00:24:02 | |
| Right down the line, I know Woods. Lafayette's like that. | 00:24:07 | |
| I think in if you step off your. | 00:24:10 | |
| If you try to go to your front door. | 00:24:14 | |
| To your back door, your trust. | 00:24:17 | |
| Right. I mean I think it is 0 lot line and also Mr. Theman had. | 00:24:19 | |
| Part of the zoning approval was for him to construct a wall. | 00:24:25 | |
| Along that. | 00:24:28 | |
| On his side to make sure. | 00:24:29 | |
| That it's buffered from his development. | 00:24:31 | |
| So I think it's well protected from the stormwater we we are still working through. | 00:24:33 | |
| Lowering that basin to make sure that it's. | 00:24:37 | |
| Below. | 00:24:40 | |
| I guess what we're asking for is to is to approve down to. | 00:24:42 | |
| What we've shown on the plans, which the smallest ones are. | 00:24:46 | |
| 2 1/2 inches. | 00:24:49 | |
| So we would just ask you to approve down to that size and then as we continue to work with Heritage to achieve approval. | 00:24:52 | |
| Will either be there or larger. | 00:24:58 | |
| So we're just approving the orifice size and then all of that will get worked out. We're still and I'm not asking for a variance | 00:25:01 | |
| for any of that. | 00:25:04 | |
| So. | 00:25:07 | |
| That's our plan. | 00:25:10 | |
| OK, as long as it's if we if we can't, we'll have further discussions, but that's our plan. | 00:25:11 | |
| They always work with this in advance, that's my only concern is. | 00:25:15 | |
| You know, having a water service higher than the concerning so. | 00:25:17 | |
| And I can tell you that the piping system that's there. | 00:25:23 | |
| Is sized to take 100 year storm post development. | 00:25:25 | |
| So but but there can be storms that are larger than 100, so obviously want to. | 00:25:28 | |
| We don't want to. | 00:25:32 | |
| Damaged downstream land owners, obviously. So yeah, we can. We will continue to work with Harries on that. | 00:25:33 | |
| Yeah. I'd almost recommend to the board that you could approve this conditionally that. | 00:25:37 | |
| They are able to get that basin below the. | 00:25:42 | |
| Bottom floor of the neighboring. | 00:25:46 | |
| Structure. Umm. | 00:25:48 | |
| And then you could prove that. | 00:25:50 | |
| Emphasize on that condition. | 00:25:52 | |
| They're able to. If they're not able to, then they need to come back in front of the board and talk about why they can't and maybe | 00:25:53 | |
| what the alternative plan would be for that. | 00:25:57 | |
| I think that, yeah, I mean, I agree that's. | 00:26:03 | |
| Basically what I'm asking for if I can't. | 00:26:06 | |
| If I can't meet, if I can't answer all their concerns. | 00:26:08 | |
| We would have to come back and have a discussion, but. | 00:26:11 | |
| As it is, we're intending to. | 00:26:13 | |
| Yeah, you guys always. | 00:26:15 | |
| Yeah. | 00:26:16 | |
| Yeah, we're intending to address their concerns. | 00:26:17 | |
| It's just that they can't approve a smaller size without your approval. | 00:26:21 | |
| Nor can they approve an underground basin without your approval. | 00:26:25 | |
| So anything that they've noted? | 00:26:28 | |
| We're trying to address. | 00:26:30 | |
| If we can't, then we'll have to come back. | 00:26:31 | |
| OK, looking for a motion. | 00:26:36 | |
| Well, I'll make a motion that we approve based upon the staff recommendations. | 00:26:38 | |
| So orphosizes down to 2 1/2 inches, contingent upon. | 00:26:44 | |
| All of the other concerns being. | 00:26:48 | |
| Addressed OK. | 00:26:50 | |
| I'll second that. | 00:26:54 | |
| All in favor. | 00:26:56 | |
| Aye. | 00:26:58 | |
| Thank you very much. | 00:27:00 | |
| Appreciate it. | 00:27:02 | |
| OK. | 00:27:06 | |
| Any public comment? | 00:27:10 | |
| Motion to adjourn. | 00:27:13 | |
| Motion to adjourn carried. | 00:27:14 |
