had run out, we couldn't give that to you. So how can we give you a plan approval or a <br />subdivision approval without giving you the time extension? If you ask for the time extension <br />first, we would have to say no, so then if you -, we can't give you the approval that depends upon <br />the time extension without your getting that time extension. <br />So we are probably going to see, and I don't that this has been systematically caught in the past. <br />I'm sure it has happened that people have gotten subdivision approvals, plan approvals based on <br />old zoning that had, in fact, these expired time conditions, but we will be probably catching more <br />of these as people come in and want to work on their zoning. And it is, as I mentioned earlier, it <br />is a chance that if it is not appropriate anymore, that the zoning can be reconsidered. <br />So -, and I'm not -, I wish we had the time to do everything, but I am not planning to go back and <br />say have a project. We did this with the old SMA permits at one point, we did have a student <br />intern for the summer who did nothing but look at old SMA permits and find out of compliance, <br />unused SMA permits, and we went and we did bring those and revoke those, revoke a couple <br />before the Commission. I think you may recall a couple of those. But there's just so many hours <br />in a day, and we're not planning to go back and do what is often a pretty lengthy job to look at a <br />particular file and see if the rezoning ordinances has been, if all the time conditions have been <br />complied with. We will do that when the actual application to develop say the plan approval or <br />subdivision approval comes forward. Okay, that's an answer to the first question. <br />Answer to second question on drywells. A standard condition of all development is that you take <br />care of additional water generated by your development up to the ten year storm event. So <br />whether this property is in the flood plain or not, the civil engineering for the project would -, the <br />civil engineer would design dry wells that would -, they would make a calculation based on the <br />fact that they are covering over what is currently an undeveloped surface and can pass water <br />through it, it's a permeable surface, and they're going to cover it over mostly with asphalt and <br />with roofs and other impermeable surfaces, and they would have to design a drywell system to <br />take that water up to the expected ten year storm event, and that is the condition of a standard <br />condition. If it rains beyond that, then there is a potential that more water will run off this <br />property than currently does. That's for handling the increase in your, in the -, that's the <br />requirement for handling the potential increase in rainwater falling off the property as a result of <br />the fact that they're going to cover a permeable surface with an impermeable surface. And you <br />had a follow-up question? <br />SPRINGER:Yeah. So if a hundred year flood is a one percent likelihood of <br />occurrence, is a ten year flood a ten percent? <br />YUEN:That's a flood that you have a, I think, Kelly, ten percent likelihood in any <br />year of happening? <br />GOMES:I'm not sure on the percentage on a ten year flood. <br />YUEN:But I said it correctly as far as what they were expected to do with <br />drywells? <br />24 <br /> <br />
