Is a unit of measure of impervious surface. One ESU is equal
to the estimated amount of impervious surface that would contribute
the same amount of runoff to the City’s storm and surface water
drainage system as the impervious surface on the average single family
residential use in the City of Lake Oswego. One ESU is therefore equal
to 3,030 square feet of impervious surface area or any portion thereof.

or filling of the ground surface, or by construction of any improvement
or impervious surface area, which affects the hydraulic or hydrologic
properties of the parcel.
Means a hard surface area which prevents or retards the entry
of water into the soil mantle and/or causes water to run off the surface
in greater quantities or at an increase rate of flow than would occur

limited to, rooftops, concrete or asphalt paving, compacted gravel,
walkways, patios, driveways, parking lots or storage areas, and oiled,
macadam or other surfaces which similarly impede the natural infiltration
or runoff of surface water. The City has measured, through aerial
photography and land surface evaluation procedures, the number of
square feet of impervious surface on all non-single family residential
parcels.
Means any individual, group or legal entity.
Means any service location which is improved with a dwelling
unit for occupancy by a single family or a similar group of persons.
"Single family residential" may also be an individual dwelling, manufactured

as the residence for one or more persons, provided that each dwelling,
mobile home, manufactured home, flat or unit is owned separately.
Means all natural and man-made facilities utilized by the
Surface Water Utility to regulate the quantity and quality of surface
water, including drainage easements, culverts, storm drains, catch
basins, stream corridors, rivers, ponds, wetlands and impoundments.
