A written impact assessment report shall accompany the site plan submittal for developments of land set forth in section 2402.4 and shall include at a minimum the following information:

1.

The party responsible for preparation of the impact assessment report and a brief statement of their, qualifications.

2.

Maps and written description of the project site including all existing structures, manmade facilities and natural features. The analysis shall also include information for areas within 100 feet of the property. An aerial photograph or drawing may be used.

3.

Impact on natural features: a written description of the environmental characteristics of the site prior to development and following development. This shall include topography, soils, wildlife, woodlands, wetlands, drainage, lakes, streams, creeks, or ponds. Documentation by a qualified wetland specialist shall be required whenever the village determines that there is a potential regulated wetland.

4.

Impact on stormwater management: a description of measures to control soil erosion and sedimentation during grading and construction operations and until permanent ground cover is established. Recommendations for such measures may be obtained from the county soil conservation service.

5.

Impact on surrounding land uses: a description shall be provided of any increases in light, noise, or air pollution which would negatively impact adjacent properties.

6.

Impact on public facilities and services: a description of the number of expected residents, employees, visitors or patrons, and the anticipated impact on public schools, police protection and fire protection. Letters from the appropriate agencies may be provided.

7.

Impact on public utilities: a description of the method to be used to serve the development with water and sewer service; the method used to control drainage on the site and from the site. A description of the location of floor drains and where they will discharge. For sites served with sanitary sewer, calculations for predevelopment and post-development flows shall be provided in comparison with sewer line capacity and also be consistent with the village sewer allocation as may be amended from time to time. Expected sewer rates shall be provided in equivalents to a single-family home.

8.

Storage and handling of any hazardous materials: a description of any hazardous substances expected to be used, stored or disposed of on the site. The information shall describe the type of materials, location within the site, and method of containment, both above and below ground. Documentation of compliance with federal and state requirements and a pollution incident prevention plan (P.I.P.P.) shall also be required.

9.

Impact on traffic and pedestrians: a description of the traffic volumes to be generated based on national reference documents, such as the most recent volume of the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, other published studies or actual counts of similar uses in Michigan. A detailed traffic impact study shall be submitted for any site over ten acres in size or for a project expected to generate 100 directional vehicles trips during the peak hour of traffic of the generator or on the adjacent streets. The contents of the detailed study shall include:

a.

Description of existing daily and peak hour traffic on the adjacent streets and a description of any sight distance limitations along the sites right-of-way frontage.

b.

Forecasted trip generation of the proposed use for the a.m. and p.m. peak hour and average daily traffic generated.

c.

For any project with a completion date beyond one year at the time of site plan approval, the analysis shall also include a scenario analyzing forecasted traffic at date of completion along the adjacent street network using a forecast based either on historic annual percentage increase and/or on expected development in the area.

d.

Protectional traffic generated shall be distributed (inbound v. outbound, left turn v. right turn) onto the existing street network to project turning movements at site driveways and nearby intersections. Rationale for the distribution shall be provided.

e.

Capacity analysis at the proposed driveway(s) using the procedures outlined in the most recent edition of the Highway Capacity Manual published by the Transportation Research Board. Capacity analysis shall be provided for all street intersections where the expected traffic will comprise at least five percent of the existing intersection capacity and/or for roadway sections and intersections experiencing congestion of a relatively high accident rate as determined by the Village or the Livingston County Road Commission or the Michigan Department Of Transportation.

f.

Analysis of any mitigation measures warranted by the anticipated traffic impacts. Where appropriate, documentation shall be provided for the appropriate road agency regarding the time schedule for improvements and method of funding.

g.

A map illustrating the location and design of proposed access, including any sight distance limitations, dimensions for adjacent driveways and intersections within 250 feet, and other data to demonstrate that the driveway(s) will provide safe and efficient traffic operation and be consistent with the standards established in Village of Fowlerville Ordinance Number 287, the Village of Fowlerville Ordinance Number 288 and the Village of Fowlerville street regulations and any amendments to such ordinance or regulations.

10.

Special provisions: general description of any deed restriction, protective covenants, master deed or association bylaws, with copies of same attached thereto.

11.

A list of all sources shall be provided.

12.

Any impact assessment report previously submitted relative to the site and proposed development which fulfills the above requirements and contains accurate information on the site may be submitted as the required impact assessment.

13.

The planning commission may waive particular impact assessment submittal item(s) upon a determination that the item(s) is not required for review of the project.
