Request by Community Development Board to meet with RAM
Professional Group regarding Lot Coverage Ordinance
George Worley II, Community Development Director
DATE: January 19, 1999
BACKGROUND:
~~~
The Community Development Boazd is reviewing the proposed Lot Coverage Ordinance
with the intent of making detailed recommendations to the City Commission to adopt a modified
version of that ordinance. The Board is pursuing efforts to clearly define "Lot Coverage" and to
assign maximum percentages of such coverage. They are at a point where they must decide to
assign a single, city-wide maximum, or to assign maximum percentages based upon zoning
districts, drainage basins, or some other logical boundary.
In order to make such a determination, the Board believes that it is necessary to
understand the basis upon which the Core City Project was designed. Specifically, the Boazd
desires to know if the design considered existing impervious surface conditions or if it used some
~~ form of industry standard for residential uses. If actual conditions were used, did the design
factor-in any growth or increase of impervious surfaces? The Boazd believes that this information
will help them determine the percentages necessary to protect the integrity of the Core City
Project. Since this project is a huge investment for the City, the Board feels that this should be of
considerable concern. Several additional questions have been raised by the Board, relating to the
definition of "impervious surfaces", which can be answered at the same time. To accomplish this,
the Board has requested Staffto invite the RAM Engineering Group to attend a special meeting
for this purpose. RAM would be expected to answer questions based upon their evaluation of the
Core City Project design.
~• ,
Public Works Director Robert Kosoy has contacted RAM to determine what they will ''~
chazge to attend a meeting with the Community Development Board. That cost will be $1,375. ~~-
Two principals of the firm will attend to answer all of the Boazds questions. ,.~..~;
RECOMMENDATION:
The Community Development Boazd requests authorization to expend $1,375 for RAM
Engineering Group o attend a Special Meeting at a date to be set.

MEMORANDUM
January 20, 19999
TO: David Thompson
City Manager
FROM: Robert S. Kosoy
Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Consultant Fees by R-A-M for Appearance before the
Community Development Board
~, On Tuesday, January 19th I discussed with Mr. Frank Gray, P.E., Vice-President of
R-A-M, the desire to have their firm meet with the Community Development Board and
discuss the issues of impervious surface and ordinances to effect a recommended
percentage. I advised that this presentation would not be on the same scale as the
Core City presentation and requested a quote for their services.
On January 20th I received a written quote for three options. It is my recommendation
that Option #3 for $1,375.OOlmtg. be approved since the two individuals from R-A-M,
Mr. Frank Gray, P.E. and Mr. Wayne Reed, President are very knowledgeable about
the topic to be discussed. If actual engineering services, such as detailed engineering
calculations and data, are desired, an additional scope would need to be negotiated.
If you have any questions please contact me at 247-5834.
