What is impervious?
|
| Impervious is anything that does not let liquid/water flow through. Functionally, it is everything except for grass and trees. Impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to, building & structures, driveways & parking areas, patios, walkways, pavers, Astroturf, decks, pools and tennis courts. Each lot has an allocation (in square feet) of impervious by category (A, B, C, D, E, and F). Most of Ellard has quality type E soil. |
What governing body oversees impervious?
|
The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and the City of Roswell (Georgia Code 12-5-440).
|
| |
Who do I contact to determine my allocation of impervious?
|
Jackie Deibel, Deputy Director of Community Development, for the City of Roswell. Her email is jdeibel@roswellgov.com. She will need your lot number.

How do I determine if I have unused impervious on my lot?
|
You will need to get an "as built" survey done by a licensed surveyor. The survey will contain a calculation of the amount of impervious. You may have excess impervious or you may have a deficit. If you have excess, you can use it on your lot or transfer/sell it. If you have a deficit, you do not need to resolve the deficit unless you want to a project (e.g., built a pool) that requires more impervious.

Where do I get more impervious?
|
Ellard does not own any impervious.
Ed Schiffer, one of the original developers, owns some unused impervious (Reserve). (eschif5199@aol.com)

How do I acquire and transfer impervious to my lot?
|
Once you acquire impervious from the Reserve or another homeowner, the selling party will send a letter to the City of Roswell, stating the lot numbers and amount of impervious by category being transferred. The City of Roswell maintains records on all transfers and updates the chart with all impervious allocations.

| |
Can I acquire impervious from outside of Ellard?
|
| No, you cannot acquire and transfer impervious from other people or reserves (e.g., Horseshoe Bend) to a lot in Ellard. |
