Build a detention pond that attenuates peak flow runoff from the property to the natural conditions peak flow runoff of the property.
My neighborhood cam standard with that. They even nixed half of the development to add more detention.

You should be eligible for a credit to reduce the fee then. A typical reduction for a newer development with a detention pond that meets the multiple levels of peak runoff reduction is something like 30-40%. A typical monthly fee for a standard single family lot is about $5 a month, so $3.50 with a 30% credit.
While whatever bullshite the mayor is trying to do should be stopped, I believe a city like Baton Rouge should definitely have a stormwater utility. However, it should be a very well laid out plan with 100% transparency about where the collected fees will be spent. There should be a 5 to 10 year plan with estimated fees collected, a project list with ranked level of importance, the estimated costs associated with the projects, a clear list of the credits availabe, etc.

Unfortunately you're not allowed that option.....or any other option.

It's gravel but considered impervious by Dallas. They charge 2.50 per square foot of property per month,not residential, but not that much income being made to be charged those kind of fees...especially since the one property doesn't actually have a working drainage system anyway.

Unfortunately Dallas takes in a lot of money with talk of improvements but it never seems to happen...from what I know anyway.

Funny this whole thing seems to be being anchored. This is a HUGE story...

Jen Racca is going to vote with Broomhilda. She’s also ant-StG even though the constituents in her district support it. She might be as bad as Chandler Loupe was.

I think we have a flooding issue.
I would support a fee to help pay for it.
I don't disagree, but developers should be on the hook for a lot of these fees. They're a big cause of the problem.
