EXHIBIT A: CHAPTER 928 <br />E. COMMUNITY: The City of North Olmsted, its designated representatives, boards, or <br />commissions. <br />F. COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN: The written document <br />and plans meeting the requirements of this regulation that sets forth the plans and <br />practices to minimize stormwater runoff from a development area, to safely convey or <br />temporarily store and release post -development runoff at an allowable rate to minimize <br />flooding and stream bank erosion, and to protect or improve stormwater quality and <br />stream channels. <br />G. CRITICAL STORM: A storm that is determined by calculating the percentage increase in <br />volume of runoff by a proposed development area for the 1 year 24 hour event. The <br />critical storm is used to calculate the maximum allowable stormwater discharge rate from <br />a developed site. <br />H. Not Used <br />DEVELOPMENT AREA: A parcel or contiguous parcels owned by one person or <br />persons, or operated as one development unit, and used or being developed for <br />commercial, industrial, residential, institutional, or other construction or alteration that <br />changes runoff characteristics. <br />DEVELOPMENT DRAINAGE AREA: A combination of each hydraulically unique <br />watershed with individual outlet points on the development area. <br />K. DISTURBED AREA: An area of land subject to erosion due to the removal of vegetative <br />cover and/or soil disturbing activities. <br />L. DRAINAGE: The removal of excess surface water or groundwater from land by surface <br />or subsurface drains. <br />M. EROSION: The process by which the land surface is worn away by the action of wind, <br />water, ice, gravity, or any combination of those forces. <br />N. Not Used <br />O. EXTENDED DETENTION FACILITY: A stormwater control measure that replaces <br />and/or enhances traditional detention facilities by releasing the runoff collected during <br />the stormwater quality event over at least 24 to 48 hours, retarding flow and allowing <br />pollutants to settle within the facility. <br />P. FINAL STABILIZATION: All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed <br />and a uniform perennial vegetative cover with a density of at least 80% coverage for the <br />area has been established or equivalent stabilization practices, such as the use of mulches <br />or geotextiles, have been employed. <br />
