Based on comments from the Building Official there should also be decibel standards included in the ordinance and other updates. Giffels Webster will draft generator placement ordinance to consider at the August meeting. C. Discussion - Impervious Surface Coverage Jill Bahm of Giffels took a sample of 14 property from an aerial perspective, the lowest amount of coverage was about 20% and the highest was 53% with an average of 35%, which falls in line with other communities that regulate the surface coverage.
