Concrete header curbs, a minimum of twelve (12) inches in width and depth with one No. 4 reinforcing bar, shall be constructed on all driveway turnout radii for the full length of the radii on all municipal, commercial, and industrial projects. This requirement may be waived at the discretion of Council when sufficient documentation for waiver, by a Florida registered engineer, has been submitted to the town.
III.
Drainage.
(1)
The site drainage system shall at minimum be designed to retain the rainfall from a five-year-one-hour storm event per current hydrological data and generally accepted engineering practices. Complete drainage calculations shall be submitted at the time of final site plan approval, including calculations for finish floor elevations.
(2)
The applicant shall obtain any and all other applicable drainage permits as required by federal, state, and county regulations.
(3)
If the proposed project has an outfall or connection to a non-municipal receiving water, legal proof of easements, permits etc. shall be obtained and submitted at the time of final site plan review.
(4)
Drainage pipes shall be a minimum of fifteen (15) inches in diameter and shall conform to current FDOT specifications. Pipe drainage calculations shall be included in drainage calculations mentioned in section III, subparagraph (1).
(5)
Drainage catch basins shall conform to current FDOT specifications.
(6)
Drainage system construction shall conform to current FDOT specifications.
(7)
All hydraulic conduits shall be located at minimum ten (10) feet from buildings and structures and shall not be constructed within the pavement subgrade.
(8)
Percolation trenches shall be four (4) feet in depth and four (4) feet in width, at minimum, and each end of the trench shall have a catch basin for stormwater collection and pipe maintenance. All percolation trenches shall be wrapped in filter cloth designed for this use. If a percolation system is proposed a percolation rate, soil analysis, and location of water table depth, performed by a certified testing lab, shall be submitted along with drainage calculations, at the time of final site plan review.
(9)
All endwall and rip-rap construction and materials shall meet current FDOT specifications.
(10)
Inverted siphons are not allowed.
IV.
Grading.
(1)
Site grading shall, at a minimum, retain the design storm with no discharge to adjacent properties unless legally permitted to do so. Grading shall be done so as not to adversely impact adjacent properties.
(2)
Longitudinal paving slopes shall be no less than three thousandths (0.003) foot per foot and cross slopes for crowned roads shall be no less than one-fourth (¼) inch per foot.
(3)
If applicable, road swales across entrances shall be designed to ensure continuous flows and not block upstream drainage. If a catch basin is within three hundred fifty (350) feet of the project boundary, catch basin elevations and existing and final swale grades shall be shown in the final site plan.
V.
Reasonable variations.
(1)
The town engineer shall have the authority to accept reasonable variations of the foregoing which are submitted by a Florida registered engineer and certified by same.
