'~ How

r In lieu of studying and mitigating ALL off-site incremental traffic, I am proposing $2,000 in-lieu of fee per peak hour vehicle
~, ~ trip ($1,000 for projects within 1/2 mile of downtown or Florence Center)
~ I understand that traffic mitigation does NOT replace the need to ensure safe traffic circulation to the site from surrounding
~_ar streets and nearby intersections
'~ MAJOR PROJECTS: This project mitigates stormwater impacts by:
All catch basins and manholes have 4' sumps
All runoff from a 0.4 inch xainstoxm (first flush) will be detatned for an average of 6 hours
No increase from PRE to POST-development peak flow during 1, 2, ox 10 year NRCS design storm
The impacts are otherwise mitigated (explain)
