Kevin Taff with Paul Primavera and Associates presented a new subdivision development that
their firm is designing. This property is located on Charlestown Pike,just south of King Road. Mr.Taff
stated that the property consists of mostly karst drainage, and abuts a quarry. The majority of the site
drains to sinkholes which ultimately flow into the quarry. Mr.Taff asked the Board and staff how they
would like him to proceed with addressing the runoff from the new development.
A discussion ensued regarding the options of implementing stormwater detentions, using the
sinkholes for outlets,and using the quarry as a regional basin. After much discussion, City Engineer
Crouch suggested that they proceed with designing the site as if the quarry were not an option,to
assume that detention would be required, and that the sinkholes could be used as final outlets, but
must be protected from erosion. Mr.Taff assured the Board that he would proceed in that direction
with the design.
