Detention and water quality requirements may be exempted by the town engineer if one (1) of the following conditions are met:

A. Residential developments of two (2) units or less are exempted, unless they are situated on slopes in excess of fifteen percent (15%), in or adjacent to a wetlands area, or are located within 25 feet of the top of the banks of a lake, pond, perennial or intermittent stream. Residential units built as part of a larger development greater than two (2) units are not exempted.

B. The town engineer may exempt other small projects or projects of short duration. Small projects shall be those that do not disturb more than five hundred (500) square feet of ground surface. Projects of short duration include those which will be completed within ten (10) days. Landscaping and/or recreational trails which do not involve or are not associated with other development activity may be similarly exempted from the requirements of this policy, if the work can be completed and the site stabilized within ten (10) days.

C. Redevelopment of sites which do not increase the impervious area by more than one-tenth (0.10) acre (four thousand three hundred fifty six (4,356) square feet)). See the engineering design standards and construction specifications for definitions of redevelopment. (Ord. 3, Series 2022)
