Home My WebLink AboutSW4221101_Response To Comments_20221128Response to Comments 11 /16/2022 We received your application for a new post -construction stormwater permit on 11/4/2022. At this time, the submission is not administratively complete and cannot be accepted for review in its current condition. Please provide the following submittal items within 30 calendar days (by close of business on 12/16/2022) so that we may accept the project and begin the review process, otherwise, the project will be returned as administratively incomplete. • 2x hard copies of the Application with the following corrections made (This item is required per 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(a) and per Section VI, 1 of the Application): • Section IV, 2 — It was noted that a Preliminary Plat approved by Watauga County Planning Commission (July 2022) was indicated in this section of the Application. Please provide this Preliminary Plat or remove the reference from the Application. Please note that in order to apply an older set of rules to a new project, a demonstrated vested right is required in the form of a local government -issued or approved site specific development plan, a valid, unexpired building permit, or some other documentation as listed in the applicable rule. Included. Section IV, 10 & 11 — Per 15A NCAC 02H .1003(3)(b) any off -site drainage area not bypassed around an SCM must be accounted for at its full build -out potential. This can be accomplished by having the property owners enter into a legal agreement limiting the amount of BUA and drainage area that can be directed from the off -site area to the SCM or by accounting for the off -site area as 100% BUA (its full build -out potential). Please either bypass the off -site component of the drainage area around the SCM or account for the off -site portion of the drainage area at its full build -out potential. After corresponding with Margie Deberry on 11/17/2022 regarding this matter, we have included the off -site drainage areas as specified into the Section IV table on the application. • Section VI — Please indicate that the required information in this section have been provided by initialing in the space provided for each item.

We have addressed this on the Comments section of the Supplement EZ form.
