22 Impervious Impact Impervious Surface = Stormwater Runoff Stormwater Runoff = Flooding & Erosion

23 Today s Agenda Introduction to NEORSD Impact of Impervious Surfaces Regional Stormwater Management Program Fees Credit Opportunities SBE Business Opportunities Q&A

24 Regional stormwater management: it s all about watersheds

25 Regional Stormwater System = channels and pipes draining 300 acres or more (approximately 450 miles)

26 We will develop stormwater master plans

27 We will perform inspection and maintenance

28 We will perform inspection and maintenance

29 We will build projects

30 We will restore streams Chevy Branch stream restoration

31 We will restore streams West Creek dam removal and stream restoration

32 We will fix problems

33 We will encourage good practices

35 How is the Fee Determined? Two Primary Factors Amount of Impervious Area per Parcel Roofs, Driveways, Parking Lots, Garages, Storage Buildings Amount of IA leads to assigned ERU Value Property Classification (SMP Type) SFR Single Family Residential 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-Family Residential Detached Dwellings NSFR Non-Single Family Residential Multi-family (> 5 units), commercial, industrial, institutional Condos, Townhomes, Apartment Complexes 1

36 Equity: SFR vs. NSFR Definitions ERU: Equivalent Residential Unit IA: Impervious Area For NEORSD Service Area, statistical analysis resulted in average ERU value of 3,000 s.f. ERU allows for NSFR properties to be measured/charged comparably to SFR properties based on IA 2

37 Residential Fee: 3 Tiers Small house Less than 2,000 square feet of impervious surface $2.85/month, $34.20/year Medium house 2,000 to 4,000 square feet of impervious surface $4.75/month, $57/year Large house More than 4,000 square feet of impervious surface $8.55/month, $102.6/year Homestead rate For those who qualify for homestead water/sewer $1.95/month, $23.40/year

38 Residential: Tier 1 Location: 7522 Glencoe Ave Brooklyn Impervious Area: 1923 sq ft SMP Classification: Tier 1 SMP Fee: $2.85/month $8.55/quarter $34.20/year

39 Residential: Tier 2 Location: 6696 Sandalwood Mayfield Village Impervious Area: 3000 sq ft SMP Classification: Tier 2 SMP Fee: $4.75/month $14.25/quarter $57/year

40 Residential: Tier 3 Location: 209 Countryside Broadview Heights Impervious Area: 4954 sq ft SMP Classification: Tier 3 SMP Fee: $8.55/month $25.65/quarter $102.60/year

41 Based on total impervious surface NSFR Fee $4.75 per Equivalent Residential Unit ERU = 3,000 sq. ft.

43 NSFR: Parking Lot Owner: Public Square West Parcels: 11 Total (Aggregated) Total ERUs: 15 SMP Fee: 15 ERUs * 4.75/month $71.25/month $213.75/quarter $855/year
