CMS11-10: City Hall Parking Lot Stormwater BMPs Proiect; 5200 Dover Center Road Ms. Wenger said the city is the recipient of an Ohio EPA grant (Storm Water Improvement Fund) which will be used to improve the administration building's front parking lot. The project is restricted to storm water management only and can not include any elements beyond the scope of stormwater. Mr. DiFranco said the parking spaces will be replaced with permeable pavers and the concrete island will be replaced with a bioswale and landscaping. Pavers are L-shaped and interlock with each other, leaving a small gap for water to drain through. They'll be installed on 2 feet of crushed limestone which acts as a reservoir to drain and detain stormwater until it is slowly released into the storm sewer system. The bioswale will consist of 2%Z feet of bio-soil so as water seeps through, it will be filtered and stored prior to being released into the storm system. Mr. Bohlmann asked if the existing parking lot lighting would remain or be replaced and Ms. Wenger said the existing lights will be reused and the city will be resurfacing the asphalt area around the pavers and bioswale area. Mr. Rerko said there is a new application for setting pavers which can set an entire palette at one time which is cost saving. Mr. DiFranco said such an application would be used for the project. Mr. Malone said the project will be a showcase of best management practices for stormwater that other communities will look at and implement in their own cities. Such projects will encourage commercial and residential owners to look at such ways to reduce the amount of stormwater going into our systems. He commended the city for seeking the grant. Mr. Rerlco said the city should have a display board in the lobby which explains the work and its significance. Mr. Manley asked where the water would go to when released. Mr. DiFranco said the system would connect to a 36 inch pipe that currently provides detention and discharges into a 6 inch pipe on Dover. Mr. Malone noted that the proposed system will actually reduce the amount of stormwater which will go into the system. Mr. Malone moved, seconded by Mr. Rerko, to approve CMS11-10: City Hall Parking Lot Stormwater B1VIPs Project of 5200 Dover Center Road, which was approved 5-0. Mr. Malone moved, seconded by 1VIr.
