Title
Request to Adopt the Amended Engineering Design Standards and Detail Sheets
Body
Whereas, the Rochester Hills City Council adopted the existing engineering design standards and specifications in February 2003. Materials and installation methods have since changed; and
Whereas, the Storm Water Management standards were completely rewritten in order to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II rule; and
Whereas, other engineering design sections were reviewed and changes are proposed per the Engineering staff; and
Whereas, if a site plan is currently under review and is technically compliant, it will be grandfathered into the previously approved Design Standards; and
Whereas, future site plan submissions will be expected to follow the updated standards immediately after formal acceptance by City Council; and
Whereas, the Department of Public Service recommends that the Rochester Hills City Council adopt the proposed amendment of Engineering Design Standards and Detail Sheets; and
Now Therefore Be It Resolved that the Rochester Hills City Council adopts the Engineering Design Standards and Detail Sheets to become effective immediately.
