A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE CONCERN OF THE FAYETTEVILLE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVER DRAINAGE PROBLEMS CREATED BY
HILLSIDE AND HILLTOP DEVELOPMENTS.
WHEREAS, hillside and hilltop developments increase the
runoff rate of storm water; and
WHEREAS, the accelerated flow of storm water caused by
hillside and hilltop developments often creates flooding
problems for residents at the base of the hillside; and
WHEREAS, the City's land development regulations provide
that a developer shall install storm drainage facilities
designed to serve the entire drainage area, provide that all
surface water drainage shall be transported to existing storm
sewers, drainage facilities, or natural drainage ditches, and
provide that the developer shall be required to install off-
site improvements where the need for such improvements is
created in whole or in part by the proposed development with
the developer to bear that portion of the cost of off-site
improvements which bears a rational nexus to the needs created
by the development.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS:
Section 1. That the Board of Directors hereby requests
that the city engineer, street superintendent, planning
administrator, and planning commission be especially conscious
of potential drainage problems created by future hillside and
hilltop developments and require the developer to install
drainage control facilities necessary to protect lower
elevation residents from potential damage caused by an increase
in the rate of flow and volume of storm water.
