RESOLUTION: 20-06: AJ RESOLUTION7 TO AMEND THE NO-PARKING PLAN FOR VASSAR The Town is submitting a revised no parking sign plan developed by Joe Cutro (Traffic Engineer) with assistance from Town attorney Ron Bolt and Montgomery County Fire Department Access and Water Supply at DPS which will eliminate the designation of Vassar Circle as a "Fire Lane." This plan (attached) replaces the double arrow: fire lane signage with "No Parking" signs with one direction arrows and relocates some signs to line up with the yellow striping. Some signs also need to be reset deeper into the ground for stability. This replaces the 2016 Fire Lane Order with Resolution 20-06. All signage is in accordance with the State of  CIRCLE.  Maryland Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.  Motion to Approve Resolution 20-06: CM Spealman; 2nd CM Wilson. Approved 3-0 (CM Costello  absent).  DISCUSSION OF ORDINANCE 20-05: AN ORDINANCETO. AMEND THE CODE OF ORDINANCESTO ADD BUILDING REQUIREMENTSAPPLACABLETOSTORMWATER  DRAINAGE AND SUMP PUMP AND SIMILAR: DISCHARGES.  Ron Bolt (Town Attorney) discussed the proposed ordinance which is intended to address ongoing stormwater issues in Town as well as nuisances caused by sump pumps and gutters discharging in the Town right-of-way. There have been various discussions with the council on storm water issues over the past year. The mayor explained that the proposed Ordinance 20-05 is] part of the larger project/process to address the excessive water issues affecting residents. Mainly because of drainage from MacArthur Boulevard, our streets become sluiceways when we get heavy rains. Groundwater from heavy rains also adds to this problem, with basement  1    sump pumps discharging groundwater seepage to the right-of-way, adding to the water flow, and affecting  homes at the lower end ofthe' Town.  Mayor Polak offered the additional reasons in support of the ordinance:  1) Ouro current ordinance related to storm water management, Ord. No. 16-02, effective 1/30/17, covered water discharge from gutters and downspouts affecting adjacent properties. There are no Town regulations on sump pump discharge. In the review of new construction permit applications, the Town can only suggest that a sump pump must discharge into controlled basins or collectors,relying upon 2) This proposed ordinance would cover the typical smaller building projects found in Town, and provide stormwater run off control more appropriate in' TOGE. The County only requires a comprehensive drainage control plan when thel land disturbance is greater than five thousand square feet, or a simplified plan ift the newi roofarea will be more than 400 square feet. The termination point ofas sump pump is mostly overlooked by the County review process and the field inspection process. This ordinance 3) The Ordinance offers flexibility to the Council to decide by resolution what is pervious or impervious. The Council discussed whether the stormwater issue originates offofMacArhur Blvd or within Town itself. The County drainage system is overburdened. TM Boa will find the drainage map for the Town 4) This new ordinance will reduce further outflows onto Town streets and sidewalks for future builds and current discharges onto the Right-Of-Way that create ai nuisance such as ice in the winter or algae growth in the summer. The Town is responsible for the safety of sidewalks and roads. The ordinance also proposes to regulate impervious surfaces which will reduce more stormwater runoffi issues affecting Mayor Polak advised that he is seeking available County or state grants to assist with mitigating the problems caused by many houses in Town that dump water onto the sidewalks and streets. The Town has also requested a County drainage study to address water runoff from MacArthur Boulevard as well as drainage issues within Town. The impact ofMacArthur Boulevard runoff compared with local runoffneeds to be examined. Significant discussion ensued, during which several issues were raised, such as what type/size of projects would be affected, the cost to property owners to comply, the effectiveness oft the measures relative to the large external origins oft the problem, the criterial defining a "nuisance" and remediation. There were sufficient questions generated by the discussion that the council was uniformly against proceeding further unless/until the following questions were: researched and answered, at which time the council agreed to discuss the matter  regulations oft the County.  proposes that these two circumstances will be regulated in TOGE.  from WSSC or Montgomery History.  residents.  further:  1.

TM Boa will follow up with Joe Toomey for answers to these questions.  2    The Council requested that Mayor Polak work with the Wild Bird Center on. Bryn Mawr to remediate its gutters  that currently flow onto the right of way and into neighbors' yards. The Council tabled Ordinance 20-05 until more information is provided.  OTHER BUSINESS  Clearing Town Roads in a Debris Emergency: Mayor Polak discussed the requirement for the Town to clear its roads in a debris emergency SO that emergency vehicles can gain access to the Town. Aj proposal by Rolling Acres Landscaping was discussed. The Council felt that the proposal's prices were high and asked that other contractors be approached for their pricing. The Council tabled the discussion until a future Council Meeting and asked that other companies be contacted to provide proposals to the Town. They also. wanted to include in  the contract that the Town is guaranteed to get priority in an emergency.  ADJOURNMENT:  Motion to adjourn: CM Stiglitz; 2nd CM Wilson. All in favor.

The attached map of Vassar Circle, developed by. Joe Cutro (Traffic Engineer), shows where the corrected signs will be placed (mainly at the ends of the yellow curb paint). These signs will no longer indicate that Vassar is a fire lane and will have uni-directional arrows to reduce the confusion about legal parking. The interior ofV Vassar will remain no parking. This new map also includes ay yellow-highlighted area where no parking signs willl be posted ati the location ofa a fire hydrant (as required by Dr Labaw, Montgomery County DPS). This new map and resolution need to be approved to replace the plan that was approved by the Town Council in 2016. Dr. LaBaw has asked for a written resolution from the Council, in order to replace the Fire Lane Orderi in hert file. The attached traffic order 20-07 describes the proposed  locations oft the signs.  With respect to storm water runoff, the Mayor recommends that stormwater drainage regulations be adopted according to Charter Sec. 804. That Section authorizes the Town to "require the owner of any property abutting on any public wayi in the Town which generates stormwater run-off to perform any act authorized by this Charter or the Town's code of ordinances at the owner's expense according to reasonable plans and specifications." The Charter gives the Town the authority to adopt regulations, but no regulations have yet been adopted on the: subject.  Beth Boa Town Manager Town of Glen Echo P.O. Box 598 6106 Harvard.
