(b) Purpose.
(1) The purpose of good subdivision and land development site design is to:
A. Create a functional and attractive development, minimize adverse impacts, and ensure that a project will be an asset to the Village. To promote this purpose, the subdivision and/or land development shall conform to these Standards that are intended to result in a well-planned community without adding undue burden on the Owner/Developer.
B. Enact design controls that shall help insure the creation of convenient and safe streets, usable lots, spaces for public purpose, and will minimize the undesirable features of unplanned, haphazard growth.
C. To protect property from flood damage and channel erosion and to protect water resources from degradation resulting from accelerated storm water flows.
D. Ensure access to public utilities to help sustain a healthy and comfortable living and/or working environment for residential, commercial, and industrial develop alike.
E. Construct municipal systems which allow for cost efficient maintenance and to not create undue burden fiscally. Facilities shall safe and convenient access to the constructed infrastructure for maintenance.
(2) The Village Planning Commission (Planning Commission) has the responsibility for reviewing the design of each subdivision from early in the design development process for approval of the project plans to help insure that all the requirements of these Standards are addressed. However, the burden is solely placed upon the Owner/Developer to adhere to all Standards whether or not specifically identified by the Planning Commission during project review and approval.
(c) Applicability.
(1) This document applies to the design of residential, commercial, and industrial subdivisions located within the Village of Waverly and its jurisdictional areas as it pertains to minimum design Standards for streets, storm water runoff and flows, storm water conveyance measures, storm water control measures, erosion control, site utilities, and related standard drawings and reference design criteria.
(2) Storm water management standards are included herein for use in reference to single lot commercial, industrial, and/or multi-family residential developments where the a single entity or group owns the property and the improvements are privately owned and maintained rather than publicly owned and maintained. These Standards shall apply.
(d) Minimum Standards.
(1) This document establishes the minimum Standards for improvements and construction required for the infrastructure associated within a subdivision and other forms of land development. All infrastructure improvements shall be designed and constructed in accordance with these Standards and any other applicable standards and regulations as determined by the Village. It is the intent of this regulation to provide minimum guidelines as to the infrastructure required for land development. It is not intended to be comprehensive and detailed with regard to the general engineering practices required for implementation or a step by step procedural guide. It is the sole responsible of the professional designer to identify, employ, and execute the engineering tasks as required to comply with these Standards.
(2) In addition to these minimum Standards, consideration will be given to innovative solutions to achieve the same end goal of quality land development utilizing sound engineering principles as it relates to the infrastructure systems defined herein. Review and approval of such alternative solutions shall be granted by the Village as they deem appropriate in close coordination with the Owner/Developer from the early conceptual review stages of the project.
(e) Conformity with Proposed Plans. In the designing of infrastructure as described herein, the Owner/Developer shall ensure that all proposed designs for construction are prepared being cognizant of and taking into consideration any proposed plans for improvements to public infrastructure by the Village, Pike County, Ohio (County), or State of Ohio (State) through the alignment and placement of proposed infrastructure and right of way widths, easements, utilities and any other associated improvements. It is the sole responsibility of the Owner/Developer to contact the appropriate authorities and perform due diligence and research any proposed public improvements in the region of the proposed development which may impact site design and infrastructure alignment.
(f) Suitability of Land. Land shall not be subdivided or developed for the following causes.
(1) Development of land in flood designated zones contradictory to the Village Flood Control Regulations and/or FEMA, FIRM designations.

1178.02 STREET DESIGN STANDARDS.
(a) General.
(1) All materials and construction methods shall be performed in the manner prescribed in the current edition of the ODOT, CMS to the extent necessary to secure the improvements consistent with the intent of these Standards or where no other specifications are provided herein.
(2) For all materials utilized for roadway and street construction, the materials supply (i.e. quarry, batch plant, or ready mix) shall provide verification that the materials being produced and provided for this project meet ODOT materials specifications for the specific material being provided for each application.
(3) All roadways and streets (streets) within a new subdivision shall be constructed or improved to comply with the Standards shown or referenced herein.
(4) All streets shall be designed in substantial relation to existing and proposed topographic conditions and drainage, for public convenience and safety, and to facilitate the proposed uses of land to be served by such streets. A public street shall be provided for convenient access to all property within the subdivision. The Owner/Developer shall provide within the boundaries of the subdivision plat, the necessary right-of-way for the widening, continuance, or alignment of such streets in conformity with the State or local thoroughfare plans or other proposed improvements as applicable.
(5) Pavement widths and thickness shall be as shown and specified in the roadway typical sections as provided in Appendix A - Typical Sections and Appendix B - Minimum Street Design Standards for the applicable thoroughfare type.
(6) Construction shall be accomplished in such a manner that cutting of the finished pavement will not be required for utility easements/construction.
(b) Applicability.
(1) This section applies to the design streets and related improvements for residential, commercial, and industrial subdivisions located within the Village of Waverly.
(c) Materials Testing.
(1) All material testing is the responsibility of the Owner/Developer or his contractor. Testing shall be performed by an independent and qualified geotechnical firm to insure conformity with these Standards. The geotechnical firm to provide the independent testing shall be approved by the Village before any testing occurs. The geotechnical consultant will determine the maximum dry density and percent of compaction for all earth work. While embankment operations are being conducted, the geotechnical firm shall visit the site no less than twice each day (morning and afternoon) to perform necessary compaction tests. The contractor is responsible for supplying the Village with copies of the test results weekly. From October 1 to April 15, compaction tests on subgrade are required but may be requested anytime during the year by the Village if they have determined that the tests are needed or if subgrade is questionable.
(2) Asphalt testing and pavement coring will be the responsibility of the contractor at the discretion of and as requested by the Village should it be deemed necessary for compliance of the material constructed relative to the approved specifications.
(d) Classification.
(1) Determination.
A. The Owner/Developer and their agents shall provide an initial determination of the street classification in accordance with these Standards.
B. The Planning Commission in consultation with the Village Engineer shall make the final determination as to the classification of any new street relative to its placement with the proposed subdivision and surrounding community, on the potential development of the site, its potential traffic volume, expressed in ADT (Average Daily Traffic), the character of the surrounding area, and any plans either proposed or future for roadway development by local, county, state, or federal entities.
C. The Village reserves the right to request that traffic count information or a traffic impact study is be performed and provided to the Village for their review and consideration.
(2) Types.
A. Arterial. Streets utilized primarily for the movement of people and goods rather than access to adjacent land uses. Arterial streets serve a community wide function and are, therefore, designated using a broader perspective. Arterials are not planned on a subdivision level since the result would be discontinuity and a breakdown in the street’s regional function. Therefore, Arterial Street Standards fall outside of the scope of these regulations. When required, an Arterial street shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the appropriate federal, state, or local governing agencies and in close coordination with and approval by the Village.
B. Collector. A collector street is a thoroughfare which functions as a feeder from an area of limited traffic to a major street or highway. The main access to the development from an arterial or another collector. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for a Collector is approximately 1,000 to 3,000 vehicles per day.
C. Local Street. A local street is primarily used to gain access to the property adjoining it. Local streets are generally utilized in subdivision to traverse to a specific point in the development rather than through the development including loop roadways. A local street may be either urban or rural as defined herein. The ADT for a Local street is approximately 1,000 vehicles per day or less.
D. Cul-de-sac. A permanently constructed dead-end street with a circular area for turning around.
E. Knuckles. A street configuration utilized to turn a single street 900 without other intersecting streets. Knuckles shall not be permitted.
F. Private Streets. Any passageway designed for use by motor powered vehicles, upon property owned by one or more persons, firms or corporations where such passageway serves as ingress/egress to the parcels and the roadway has not been accepted into the public system and is maintained by the owners upon which the roadway is located. Private streets are prohibited from being developed as a part of a proposed subdivision (Major, Minor, or Non-Residential).
(3) Character. See Section 1178.02(d)(2) hereof for a description of the various street classification types (collector, local, and cul-de-sac). The character of a proposed development (urban or rural) shall be determined with regard to the existing physical conditions in the area of, the configuration of the proposed land development, and proposed lot size. See Appendix A for illustrations of the infrastructure associated with an Urban Street and Local Streets for the various street types as described above. See also Title Seven, Sections 1166.02 and 1171.05 of the Codified Ordinances of the Village of Waverly for definitions and additional information.
A. Urban. Urban Streets may be residential, commercial, or industrial in nature. All commercial or industrial development shall be considered Urban unless specifically designated otherwise by the Village of Waverly. Urban Developments are generally located in close proximity to main thoroughfares, near the business district, residential areas of relatively high density, or serving a proposed commercial establishment or industrial complex. For purposes of these Standards, Urban Streets shall include, but are not limited to, curb and gutter sections and sidewalks. In a residential Urban Development, the lot size shall be less than 1.0 acres and with a roadway frontage of less than 200.00 feet along the adjoining street.
B. Rural. A Rural Street shall be designated as such when intersecting an existing State, County, or Local street or roadway in low population density areas and utilizing open ditch drainage storm water conveyance. A Rural Development shall be a proposed development with lot frontages of 200.00 feet or greater and a lot size of 1.0 acres or greater. Utilization of a Rural Street typical section shall be as approved by the Village contingent upon the existing natural character of the land to be developed, the adjoining parcels, and the dimensional criteria listed above.
(e) Typical Sections & Design Tables.

Sidewalks and other pedestrian facilities shall be designed to accommodate the needs of all users, some of whom have a broad range of mobility, physical and cognitive skills, disabilities, and impairments. The sidewalk shall be a clear or an unobstructed pedestrian travel way. In plan preparation, the design engineer shall be cognizant of the three dimensional corridor which makes up an accessible route and attempt to locate utilities, light poles, signs, fire hydrants, mail boxes, parking meters and street furniture (benches, shelters, bike racks, etc.) outside of this sidewalk corridor.
(2) Requirement. Sidewalks shall be required on all roadways with a curb and gutter roadway typical section. Sidewalks are not required on roadways of a rural character unless specifically required otherwise by the Village. When no sidewalks are required, a paved pedestrian connection path shall be required on one side of the roadway connecting the streets of the subdivision. The paved path may be located to the front of the lots except where terrain dictates or in order to maximize the natural landscape. When outside of the right-of-way, an easement ten (10) feet in width shall be provided for use of pedestrian path by all.
(3) Width. The minimum recommended sidewalk or pedestrian path width is 4 feet.
(4) Buffer. A buffer width, also known as a tree lawn or planting strip, is the distance between the sidewalk and the adjacent roadway which improves pedestrian safety. Buffer width is measured from the face of curb to the front edge of the sidewalk. If a buffer strip cannot be provided in a commercial or industrial street, then the curb-attached sidewalk width should be at least 7 ft. wide to provide space for light poles, street tree wells, street furniture, and to improve pedestrian safety. All roadways with curb attached sidewalks or buffers should be constructed with vertical curbing.
(5) Grade and Slope. Sidewalks and walkways should be designed with maximum grades of five (5) percent for accessibility. The only exception is when the topography of an area dictates the adjacent road grade steeper than 5% and there is no other alternative alignment for the sidewalk. Sidewalks should be constructed with a maximum cross slope of 2%. The cross slope is the slope that is measured perpendicular to the direction of travel.
(6) Typical Sections. See Appendix A, Typical Sections for applicability relative to roadway type. Sidewalks shall be placed within the public right-of-way. The top edge of the sidewalk closest to the curb shall be set a minimum of 1 inch per foot from the top of the curb with the slope dependent upon the varying distance from the curb to the sidewalk. Sidewalk shall be poured on a compacted and approved base per ODOT Item 608.
(s) Curb Ramps. Curb ramps are required on all curb and gutter streets with sidewalks and shall conform to ODOT L&D Manual, Volume I, Section 306.3 and ODOT, Standard Details.
(1) Requirement. Section 729.12 of the Ohio Revised Code requires that all new or reconstructed curbs shall have curb ramps at each pedestrian crosswalk so that the sidewalk and street blend to a common level. All curb ramps must be ADA compliant and constructed as per ODOT Standards.
(2) Location. A continuous path is to be provided for the persons with disabilities. When a curb ramp is built on one side of a street, a companion curb ramp is required on the opposite side of the street. The basic requirement is that a crosswalk must be accessible via curb ramps from both ends, not one end only. Curb ramps will be installed in all quadrants of an intersection.
(3) Design. Curb ramps should be designed to the least slope consistent with the curb height, available corner area and underlying topography. A level landing is necessary for turning, maneuvering or bypassing the sloped surface. Proper curb ramp design is important to users either continuing along a sidewalk path or attempting to cross the street.
(4) Detectable Warnings. Detectable warnings are standardized surface features on walking surfaces to warn visually impaired people of the transition between the sidewalk and the street. Truncated domes are specified as the detectable warnings to be used and are to be included in all connections to all street crossings to mark the street edge, where a sidewalk crosses a vehicular way.
(t) Concrete. All concrete shall be Class "C" in accordance with ODOT Item 609.02. The minimum air temperature for concrete poured at ground level (sidewalk, apron, and curb) is to be 320 F. Concrete may not be poured on frozen base or subgrade. Concrete must be protected from freezing for 7 days after pouring. No more than 1.5-% calcium may be added to accelerate setup time. Curing compound is applied at 1 gallon /150 sq. ft. The class "C" mixed concrete must obtain a minimum strength of 4000 lbs. per sq. inch after 28 days using compression test. Concrete testing will be the responsibility of the Owner/Developer or his contractor and shall be performed by an independent testing laboratory approved by the Village. The Village shall be provided a copy of all test results immediately upon publish and be made aware of any deficiencies in concrete strength relative to the Standards.
(u) Signage.
(1) Signs shall conform to and be placed in accordance with the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (OMUTCD).
(2) Stop signs and street name signs must be erected prior to any residential/commercial construction.
(3) The Owner/Developer is responsible to install all stop signs and street name signs on newly constructed roads in accordance with Village Standards. The Owner/Developer shall contact and coordinate the installation of the signage with the Village prior to commencing installation.
(v) Pavement Markings.
(1) When pavement markings are required, it shall be the responsibility of the Owner/Developer to complete. Pavement markings are required for turn lanes and for a street wider than 24-feet or as required by the Village.
(2) All permanent pavement markings shall conform to ODOT Item 644 - Thermoplastic Pavement Marking.
(w) Guardrail. Guardrail installation shall consist of placing steel beam, ODOT Types 4, 5, 5-A and Type 5 with tubular backup guardrail at such places where the roadway embankment areas are more than 5-feet deep and/or with steeper than 4:1 slopes. Type B anchor assembly with flares shall be used. The Village reserves the right to require guardrail installation in other areas they determine the proposed street to create a safety hazard to the traveling public or to existing structures located near the roadway.

1178.03 STORM WATER RUNOFF AND FLOWS.
(a) General.
(1) The hydraulics and hydrology utilized to analyze and design storm water management systems and related appurtenances shall be in accordance with the guidelines and regulations as contained in the most current edition of the ODOT, L&D, Volume II.
(2) A Storm water Design Report shall be prepared and submitted to the Village containing the design calculations and illustrations for the proposed development. This report shall include, but is not limited to, calculations pertaining to the pre and post development watershed basins and sub-basins, hydrologic and hydraulic systems, structures, culverts & pipelines, control structures, erosion & sediment control, water quantity and quality (as applicable) control facilities, and any other information/calculations pertinent to storm water runoff and system design.
(3) The format of the Storm water Design Report shall be at the discretion of the design engineer in so much as it is in a logical, neat and an orderly manner. The Village reserves the right to request additional documentation not included in the design report as submitted and as it deems necessary.
(b) Applicability. This section applies subdivision development regarding the design methodologies to be utilized in computing storm water runoff and flows associated with the existing and proposed surface and subsurface characteristics of the site, and the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis necessary. This section also applies to the storm water design of single lot commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential developments unless otherwise modified by subsequent sections of this Standard.
(c) Drainage Area Properties.
(1) Existing Conditions. The design of storm water management infrastructure including open ditches, channels, storm sewers, culverts, bridges, water quantity/quality control structures, or other facilities begins with examination and identification of the existing physical conditions and properties of the area to be developed and adjoining area which may be tributary to the watershed or a part of the off-site portion of the watershed. This examination and site reconnaissance shall include:
A. Flood Boundaries.
1. The estimated 100-year and 500-year flood plain limits and elevations in or near the watershed including the estimated flood way location, shall be shown on the existing site plan. The designer shall be cognizant of these flood limits in site design and layout.
2. Should the project limits fall within or adjoin any of the flood plains or the floodway as referenced above, a permit shall be obtained from the local Flood Plain Manager for the Village, located in the Mayor’s Office in full compliance to the Flood Plain Regulations.
3. Flood boundary information is to be obtained from the most recent Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the subject area.
4. Additionally, contact is to be made with the United States Army Corps of Engineer (USACE), Huntington District, regarding Flood Profiles for the waterway in question for any flood study data which may be available.
B. Topography. A land survey which provides data points and contour lines of like elevations is to be prepared and utilized for delineation of the existing watershed, drainage basins, and subbasins. For preliminary site analysis or off-site drainage areas which may contribute to the storm drainage of the project, aerial photography and topographic mapping is available through the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Project (OGRIP) http://ogrip.oit.ohio.gov/.
C. Subsurface Conditions. Utilizing a USDA, NRCS Soils Report for Pike County, Ohio the soil types located within the watershed are illustrated to be utilized in development of the existing and proposed storm water runoff flow rates for the site. This information may also be used to aid in design of water quality features utilizing subsurface infiltration or basins dependent upon impermeable soils as a natural bottom liner. Custom soils survey reports and maps may be created from the USDA, NRCS at http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/.
D. Natural Features. The location and/or limits of other natural features shall be noted which may impact the site design such as the presents of wetlands, stands of mature trees, or wild life habitat area. Wetlands disturbance shall not be permitted without a wetland delineation by an environmental scientist trained in USACE procedures and permitted. A 401/404 permit from the USACE shall also be required prior to any disturbance. It is strongly recommended that should hydrophilic flora, fauna, and/or boggy depressions are discovered; that the area is entirely avoided by the proposed development and no additional storm water runoff is directed toward this natural feature.
(2) Water Shed Delineation.
A. Existing (Predevelopment). - Given the topographic mapping and other existing physical features, a delineation of the existing watershed shall be made including the drainage basins and sub-basins as appropriate.
B. Proposed (Post Development). - The Post-Development watershed, drainage basins, and sub-basins are developed in a matter similar to the Predevelopment, however, the proposed site grading plan and initial approximations of the storm water infrastructure shall occur.
(d) Hydrologic and Hydraulic Conditions.
(1) Description. Many different methods are available to calculate storm water flows. These methods range from simple calculations to complex computer modeling. However, all methods are based upon the application of metrological, hydrologic, and hydraulic principles to compute the estimated storm water discharge rate for the catchment being studied.
The methods listed below are acceptable unless approved otherwise by the Village. The Owner/Developer has the option to utilize either of the methods within the parameters of sound engineering practice and based upon the specific application. The Village reserves the right to request calculations utilizing the method not selected as a check of the results calculated, as they deem appropriate.
A. Hydrologic Methods
Rational
SCS, TR-55
Other (as approved)
(2) Rational Method.
A. Land Type. This method is recommended for small, primarily existing urban areas, with a relatively high percentage of impervious surfaces. The total water shed area, including offsite drainage, shall be less than 200 acres. Under such conditions, the Rational Method typically produces relatively accurate storm water runoff results.
This method determines the peak rate of runoff for all design frequencies selected. The Rational Method calculates flow as follows:
Q=CiA; Where:
Q = Peak rate of runoff, (cfs)
C = Coefficient of runoff
I = Intensity of rainfall for the selected storm frequency, duration
(in/hr)
A = Drainage area, (acres)
B. Coefficient of Runoff, C. This is a dimension less decimal value that estimates the percentage of rainfall that becomes runoff. The C value can be considered as a lump sum parameter that accounts for abstractions, antecedent moisture conditions, and other variables affecting the runoff rate.
See the Table 1 for a range of values for the various contributing surfaces which are acceptable.
Table 1. Common Runoff Coefficients, C

Adapted from the Standard Handbook for Civil Engineer - Fourth Edition, 1996
When a single catchment area consists of several areas with different C coefficients, a weighed coefficient shall be computed and represented as follows:
Cw = 
(CA) / Area (TOTAL)
(CA) / Area (TOTAL)Since the rational formula assumes as constant uniform rainfall for the time of concentration over the entire area, the area (A) to which the Runoff Coefficient (C) is applied is to be selected as precisely as possible.
C. Time of Concentration. The time of concentration is the estimated time that it takes runoff to travel from the hydraulically most distant point of the watershed to a point of concentration such as a culvert, catch basin, or ditch checkpoint. The time of concentration is computed by the summation of the runoff time of travel across the various components of the watershed. Runoff is delivered to the impoundment or discharge area by one of three methods: overland flow, shallow concentrated flow, and open channel flow or a combination of these three.
D. Overland Flow. Overland or sheet flow is flow over a plan surface. It usually occurs in the headwater of streams and is generally restricted to no greater than 100-feet. Sheet flow travel time is computed by the following Manning’s kinematic equation.
TO = 1.8(1.1-C)(L) 0.5) / (S 0.333)
Where:
TO = travel time of overland flow, (minutes)
C = Coefficient of Runoff
L = Distance to most remote location in drainage area, (ft) (300-ft Max)
S = Overland slope (%)
Note that these methods shall not be used to determine time of travel for gutter, swale, or ditch flow.
E. Shallow Concentrated Flow. After a maximum of 100-ft of flow, overland flow generally becomes shallow concentrated flow. The velocity of shallow concentrated flow can be estimated using the following relationship:
TS = L / 60V
Where:
TS = travel time for shallow concentrated flow, (minutes)
L = Length of Flow (ft)
V = Velocity (ft/s) - (from equation below)
The velocity for shallow concentrated flow is computed by:
V = 3.281ks(0.5)
Where:
V = Velocity (fps)
k = Intercept coefficient - See Table 2 below
s = overland slope (%)
Table 2. Intercept Coefficients, C
Type of Surface | Intercept Coefficient, k |
Forest with heavy ground litter | 0.076 |
Minimum tillage cultivated, woodland | 0.152 |
Short grass pasture | 0.213 |
Cultivated straight row | 0.274 |
Poor grass, untilled | 0.305 |
Grassed waterways | 0.457 |
Unpaved area; bare soil | 0.491 |
Paved area | 0.619 |
Adapted from the ODOT, L&D Manual, Volume II - Table 1101-1
Shallow concentrated flow generally terminates at a defined carrier such as a ditch, channel, or pipe system.
F. Channelized / Piped Flow. The velocity in open channel flow or piping system is computed by the Manning’s equation as:
V = (1.486 r 0.67 s 0.5)/n
Where:
V = average velocity (ft/s)
n = Manning’s roughness coefficient for open channel flow or pipe
r = hydraulic radius (ft)
s = slope of hydraulic grade line or channel slope (ft/ft)
Manning roughness coefficient, n, represents frictional losses due to the physical character of the channel bottom or conduit material type. Manning’s n value is obtained from various technical resources.
Channelized/Pipe Flow Travel Time
Td = L / 60V
Where:
Td = travel time for channel/pipe flow, (minutes)
L = Length of Flow (ft)
V = Velocity (ft/s) - V (from equation above)
The time of concentration is the summation of the travel times for the various land surfaces described. This process is reiterated for each sub-basin within the catchment to determine the time of concentration for the catchment. The time of concentration is also equivalent to the duration of the storm.
G. Rainfall Intensity. Knowing the time of concentration (duration) of the runoff, the intensity of the rainfall is determined utilizing Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves. See Appendix C for IDF Curves from the ODOT, L&D, Volume II. Utilizing the duration for the various year storm frequency, the intensity (in/hour) is determined.
(3) Soil Conservation Service, Technical Release No. 55.
A. “Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds”, the SCS-TR55 program is intended for examination of drainage areas which are more rural in character but urbanizing. The methods of SCS TR-55 shall be used to determine the peak rate of runoff in such areas. Additionally, when utilized for design for drainage systems, including offsite drainage, greater than 200 acres the SCS-TR55 method generally produces more accurate results than the Rational Method.
B. Given the advent of computerized models, the SCS-TR55 Method is available in a windows based computer model, WinTR-55 for calculation of runoff and flow rate given the input parameters associated with the location of the site and the hydrologic properties of the site and properties regarding the components used to calculate the time of concentration.
For the purposes of SCS TR-55 or WinTR-55, the following information shall be prepared and ready for input:
* Units = English
* Area = Square acres
* Land use category - site dependent
* Soil Hydrologic Properties - (From USDA, NRCS Soil
* Survey)
* Enter flow path dimensions:
- Sheet flow = 100-ft (maximum)
- Shallow concentrated flow
- Channelized flow
- Structure Type & Size (as applicable)
- Outlet
* Rainfall shall be based upon SCS Type II Rainfall Distribution
C. Utilizing this program, the time of concentration (Tc) is calculated for the sub-basins indicated in place of the manual calculations as indicated for the Rational Method. The Tc shall not be less than 10-minutes. This program shall be executed for both the pre and post development conditions.
(4) Alternate Hydrologic Methods. Alternate hydrologic methods, utilizing one or more of the principles described above may be used in conjunction with proprietary computer models/programs to determine peak flows with the approval of the Village. The design engineer shall submit all documentation necessary for the review and approval of alternate methods as requested.

1178.05 STORM WATER CONTROL MEASURES.
(a) General.
(1) This section applies subdivision development regarding the minimum design Standards to be utilized in designing storm water quantity control systems and related measures. This section also applies to the storm water control measures for single lot commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential developments unless otherwise modified by subsequent sections of this Standard.
(2) The section addresses storm water quantity control measures only as required by these Standards. Storm water quality control is encouraged for each site but is not required. Water quality control measures, if utilized, shall be design in accordance with the ODOT, L&D Manual - Volume II and the ODNR, Manual for Rainwater & Land Development.
(3) The Dam safety laws in the State of Ohio are regulated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Soil and Water Conservation Office. Dams are classified in Ohio according to Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Rule 1501:21-13-01. No earthen embankment or other retention structure may be constructed which qualifies as a Class I, II, or III Dam as defined by the OAC. The designer shall review such regulations to ensure that the proposed detention or retention basin falls outside the category of the ODNR facilities requiring permitting and governance.
(4) It is not the intent of this section or of these Standards to restrict the freedom of the design engineer to the methods listed herein, but these methods are recommended for the purpose of complying with these Standards. Innovation is encouraged when coupled with sound engineer practice.
(5) Proprietary storm water modeling software may be used to perform iterative stage-storage discharge calculations to achieve the required storage volume and allowable release rates.
(b) Quantity Control Design.
(1) Design Frequency and Storage Volume.
A. The Critical Storm Method as described in subsection (b)(4) hereof shall be utilized to determine the storm frequency for the required storage volume and allowable release rates from the quantity control facility. Detention/Retention basins must be designed to limit the critical storm flow out of the basin to the one (1) year pre developed rate and, also have the capacity to store all storm frequencies greater that the critical value up to the 100 year storm under post developed conditions and release the outflows at the pre developed rate for like years.
B. The volume of storage calculated is that needed to reduce the critical storm peak flow rate under post development conditions to equal to or less than the two one (1) year pre development peak flow rate.
C. Storm water quantity control facilities shall be designed to safely pass the 100-year storm frequency.
(2) Requirements.
A. Storm water detention or control measures are not required where the designer can demonstrate that the proposed development will not result in the increase in the storm water runoff volume of greater than 10% to existing storm water conveyance feature receiving the discharge from the site.
B. Storm water detention shall be required when the critical storm is equal to two (2) years or greater as defined by subsection (b)(4) hereof.
C. Each development shall provide for the detention of excess storm water runoff resulting from the development. Excess storm water runoff shall include all additional runoff resulting from increases in the impervious surfaces of the site, including but not limited to, construction of or addition to buildings, construction of roads and parking lots; earthwork, drainage feature modification, elimination of naturalized or farming areas, and other site development related activities.
D. If no detention is required, the storm water runoff velocity leaving the site must be equal to or less than the one (1) year predeveloped storm water runoff velocity.
E. No detention or retention shall be permitted in the public right of way.
F. The designer shall provide a preliminary evaluation regarding the necessity and general magnitude of onsite storm water detention as described in subsection (b)(5) hereof.
G. As-built surveys shall be required and provided by the Owner/Developer/owner in order to demonstrate that the facility was constructed as illustrated on the approved plans or in accordance with field modifications as approved by the Village of Waverly during construction. Such surveys shall be conducted by a registered Professional Surveyor in the State of Ohio. Storm water Control As-built surveys shall be in addition to, and separate from, other required construction surveys and documentation. Any discrepancies revealed in the as-constructed facilities by the as-built survey shall be rectified by the Owner/Developer in accordance with the approved plan.
H. A maintenance plan for the proposed storm water control facility shall be submitted with the design plan for review and approval by the Village. Facility Maintenance requirements are further described the Codified Ordinances of the Village of Waverly, Ohio of this Section.
(3) Runoff Control. The release point is defined as the point at which storm water generated by the subdivision leaves the on-site storm water conveyance or control measures and discharges into an adjoining off-site storm water feature. The subdivision detention/retention basin and/or other storm water management system shall be designed such that the post-development released storm water flow emulates the predeveloped flow volume and characteristics as it is released onto the adjacent property for the 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100-year storm events. No adverse effects to off-site receiving storm water facilities shall occur as a result of the subdivision constructed.
(4) Critical Storm Method.
A. The Critical Storm value for a particular project or development site provides the design engineer with a critical storm frequency that reflects the changes in land surface that occurs to a particular project area after development.
B. Critical storm calculations shall utilize onsite drainage areas, only. The offsite areas are not be used in the calculation of the Critical Storm. The offsite areas are to be used in the determination of the required storage volume of the control basin.
C. Critical Storm Determination. The critical storm for a specific development area is determined as follows.
1. Calculate the total volume of runoff from a 1-year, 24 hour storm event, occurring on the development area for the predevelopment and post-development site conditions utilizing the Rational Method or SCS-TR55 as detailed previously. The rainfall depth utilized to calculate the 1-year, 24-hour storm as well as the 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 year storm events is based upon information provided by the NOAA, Atlas 14, Volume 2, Version 3.0 - V 2004, June 10, 2012 located at http://dipper.nws.noaa.gov/hdsc/pfds/ for the Village of Waverly coordinates (39.1025 N, 82.9719 W), elevation 567-feet is as follows:
Rainfall Depths (inches)
• 1-year, 24 hour storm = 2.25 inches
• 2-year, 24 hour storm = 2.69 inches
• 5-year, 24 hour storm = 3.30 inches
• 10-year, 24 hour storm = 3.79 inches
• 25-year, 24 hour storm = 4.47 inches
• 50-year, 24 hour storm = 5.02 inches
• 100-year, 24 hour storm = 5.59 inches
2. The runoff volume calculated for use in determining the Critical Storm shall pertain to on-site drainage areas only. However, any off-site drainage areas that are tributary to the site shall be used in designing the storm water conveyance, control systems, and other drainage improvements for the subdivision or land development site.
3. Calculate the percent of increase in runoff volume due to development.
(Post V -Pre V)/(Pre V)* 100 = % Increase in Runoff Volume
4. Using this percentage, select the critical storm from Table 4 below:
Table 4. Critical Storm Determination
Percent Increase in Runoff Volume | Critical Storm for Peak Rate Control | |
Equal to or Greater Than | And Less Than | |
0 | 10 | 1 year |
10 | 20 | 2 year |
20 | 50 | 5 year |
50 | 100 | 10 year |
100 | 250 | 25 year |
250 | 500 | 50 year |
500 | -- | 100 year |
Adapted from the ODNR, Soil and Water Conservation Office - Rainwater and Land Development Manual, Third Edition 2006.
D. Critical Storm Controls. The Critical Storm Frequency as determined above shall be utilized to control the peak runoff rates from storm water control facilities.
1. The peak rate of runoff from the Critical Storm and all more frequent storms (less return period) occurring on the development or project area shall not exceed the peak rate of runoff from a 1-year, 24-hour storm event that would occur under predevelopment conditions. Storms of less frequent occurrence (greater return periods) than the critical storm up to the 100- year, 24-hour storm event shall have peak runoff rates no greater than the peak runoff rates from equivalent size storms under predevelopment conditions.
For example, if the critical storm was calculated to be a 10-year, 24-hour storm, the peak rate of storm water runoff that would occur from the 2, 5, and 10 year postdevelopment storms could not exceed the peak rate of runoff that which would occur from 1-year frequency storm under predevelopment conditions.
2. Storms of less frequency occurrence than the critical storm up to the 100 year, 24 hour storm shall have peak rates of runoff equal to or less than the peak rates of runoff for the same frequency of storms under predevelopment conditions.
3. A 1-year, 24 hour critical storm value does not require detention. However, the post development outlet velocities of the storm water system must be equal to or less than the 1-year, 24 hour predevelopment outlet velocities.
(5) Preliminary Storage Estimate.
A. An estimate of the preliminary detention area shall be provided and shown on preliminary plans submitted for review. This estimate shall also aid in determination of the most appropriate storm water control means and allocating an area on the site.
B. An estimate of storm water storage required may be obtained utilizing SCS-TR55 graphic methods. An estimation of the storage volume required may also be obtained by calculating the area on the inflow hydrograph from the point where significant runoff begins to occur, to the peak flow rate, and then to the target discharge control rate from the control structure. The area contained within the limits of the inflow hydrograph as generally defined above, provides an estimate of the storage volume required.
C. Subsurface soil investigations shall occur in the proposed basin location(s) to determine if the site is suitable and to select the most appropriate means of storm water control for the site and overall project conditions.
D. Additionally, careful consideration shall be given to the site selection for the control basin to provide the best combination of storage requirements, site landscape and aesthetics, access to outlet and embankment slopes for maintenance, and to minimize earth moving among other site specific considerations.
(6) Control Structure Design.
A. Types. Multiple options are provided for achieving the required storm water quantity control. The types listed below are acceptable control facilities. The selection of the storm water control facility type shall be dependent upon the existing site conditions present. Each site varies in its design constraints and, as with other site design elements, the storm water control facility shall be selected and designed accordingly.

B. Design Parameters. The general design parameters associated with each type are provided herein. The intent of this information is not to be exhaustive nor a step by step procedure to design of these facilities. Rather, key design parameters or guidelines are provided to aid the designer.
1. Detention Basin - Specific to Detention Basins Only
a. An earthen dry storage depression created by typical excavated embankment construction methods with no normal pool level. Detention basins serve to capture and temporarily store the surface water runoffs which result from urban development. This temporary storage allows for the release of the storm runoff at discharge rates which are acceptable to the receiving waterway.
b. Detention basins are designed to limit the critical storm flow out of the basin to the 1 year, 24 hour predeveloped rate and to have the capacity to store all storm frequencies greater that the critical value up to the 100 year, 24 hour storm (where required) under post developed conditions and release the outflows at the predeveloped rate for like years.
c. The bottom of the basin should be constructed with slopes equal to or greater than 1.0% to facilitate interior drainage.
d. All inlets to the basin shall be connected to the outlet by a concrete low flow channel. The minimum slope on this channel shall be 0.5 percent.
2. Retention Basin - Specific to Retention Basins Only
a. Retention Basins are permanent ponds where additional storage capacity is provided above the normal water level and special features for controlled release are included. Mechanical aeration devices may be used and are encouraged for aesthetic purposes and/or to help prevent water stagnation and algae growth.
b. Carefully examine the tributary drainage basin to ensure that adequate storm water runoff will exist to sustain the normal pool level of the basin throughout the year. A drainage area to basin water surface area of approximately 6:1 should be provided.
c. Retention basin bottom slope profile shall be graded to provide the following:
- Minimum berm 3-feet wide at 2% slope between the right -of-way and the top of the basin.
- A 3:1 slope down to the commencement of a safety bench.
- A safety bench 5-feet wide minimum at no greater than 2% slope to the commencement of the edge of the impoundment area.
- The side slope of the storage area shall be least 3H: 1V minimum.
- The average pond depth in the deep pool shall be a minimum of 4-feet and a maximum depth of 8 feet.
- A minimum of 1-feet of freeboard shall be provided from the maximum water surface elevation and the top edge of the storage area.
d. Rock channel protection, type D, or turf reinforcement mat (TRM) as approved by the Village shall be placed at the normal water elevation, around the entire perimeter of the basin, five feet wide, centered on the normal water elevation.
3. Detention and Retention Basins - Applicable to both Detention and Retention Basins.
a. The length to width ratio of the basin shall generally be 3:1.
b. The inlet piping to the basin shall generally be located on the opposite side from the discharge structure to prevent short circuiting of inflow.

f. Safety measures shall be provided for any pipe or opening to prevent children or large animals from crawling into structures. For safety, a suggested maximum opening is six inches for the safety grate or other safety measure proposed.
g. Danger signs should be mounted at appropriate locations to warn of deep water, possible flood conditions that exist during storm periods and other dangers that exist.
h. Grass or other suitable vegetative cover shall be established on all slopes of the basin.
i. An emergency spillway shall be provided. The spillway shall be capable of handling the peak discharge and peak velocity from the 100-year, 24-hour or larger storm event under post-development conditions. There shall be a minimum of 1-feet of freeboard between the 100 year storm elevations and the top of the levee or embankment containing the basin.
j. Provide spillway crest elevations. The spillway area (plan view), cross section detail, and other spillway details shall be located on the site plan or accompanying construction drawings including water surface elevations.
k. All outlet (release) structure details must be shown on the site plan or accompanying construction drawings. Include the following, but not limited to, pipe and orifice size, invert elevation, weir length, and elevation; Provide window sizes, elevations, and locations.
l. Anti-seep collars shall be installed on all pipe outlets which pass through the basin embankment.
m. Since these Standards require that the outflow rate from control basin is held to a 1 year, 24-hour predevelopment rate and the control basin must also be designed to detain the expected runoff from a 100 year, 24 hour post development condition, a two stage orifice control may be required on most basins.
4. Parking Lot Detention.
a. Parking Lot Detention is primarily applicable to single lot commercial, industrial and multi-family developments. This type of storm water control means for subdivision development must be approved by the Village for proper application.
b. See Section 1178.05(c)(2) for details and requirements regarding this type of storm water control measure.
5. Other Alternative Methods. Other methods of providing storm water quantity control inherently also provide water quality control. Should these methods be selected for consideration, coordination shall be made with the Village regarding the applicability to the proposed site. Generally, design Standards for these methods shall conform to the ODOT, L&D - Volume II and the ODNR Manual for Rainwater and Land Development, Second Edition.
(c) Commercial Site Storm System Design.
(1) General.
A. The system shall be designed to convey the flows from the tributary area within the proposed development and existing flows from offsite areas that are upstream from the development which may be interrupted by the proposed development.
B. The parking lots shall be drained by means of catch basins and storm sewers to an adequate outlet or quantity control structure.
C. The parking lot shall be graded such that the surface water runs off to the catch basin or basins in a low area to permit detention of the runoff and the use of parking lot storage where applicable.
D. All roof top areas and/or building storm water drainage systems shall drain to the parking lot system for controlling storm water rate of runoff prior to its release to downstream properties.
E. The catch basins must pick up the water on the paved surface. Sheet flow will not be permitted into the public right-of-way for collection by street storm water conveyance systems.
F. The desired maximum distance for overland flow should be approximately 250 to 300 feet before entering a storm structure.
G. The desired maximum overland drainage area tributary to the storm structure should be no greater than 1.5 acres as permitted by storm sewer system hydraulics.
(2) Design Criteria.
A. Storm Sewers. Private storm sewers; such as in single lot multi-family residential, commercial, or industrial development, shall be designed and constructed with the capacity to adequately handle the 2-year, 24 hour storm event at full capacity and nonsurcharging. A 5-year, 24 hour storm event shall be used to develop the hydraulic gradient which shall not exceed the window or grate elevation of the storm structure or exceed the gutter/curb line of the roadway or parking area.
B. Open Channels. Ditches shall be designed and constructed with the capacity to adequately handle the discharge expected from a 10-year, 24 hour storm event. Shear stress protection shall be constructed with respect to the velocity from a 2-year frequency (post development).
C. Quantity Control. If the site (or a portion of the site) post-development runoff volume is calculated to be greater than the predevelopment runoff volume from the same area; the runoff volume, and thereby flow rate, shall be offset by employing the Critical Storm Method as described previously. The detention or ponding area shall be designed as per Section 1178.05 of the Standards.
1. Types. Multiple options are provided for achieving the required storm water quantity control. Refer to Section 1178.05(b)(6), for a complete description and design details associated with Detention or Retention Basins. See also this same section for the other alternate methods as listed and their respective design reference documents.
Acceptable Commercial
a. Detention Basin
b. Retention Basin
c. Parking Lot Storage
d. Underground Storage
Alternative Methods - Infiltration Trench
a. Infiltration Basin
b. Extended Detention Basin
The selection of the storm water control facility type shall be dependent upon the existing site conditions present. Each site varies in its design constraints and, as with other site design elements, the storm water control facility shall be selected and designed accordingly.
E. Parking Lot Detention.
1. Surface storage is achieved through shallow ponding designed to flood specific graded areas of the parking lot.
2. Controlled release features are incorporated into the surface drainage system of the parking lot via proper design discharge pipe size and slope in the receiving inlet and increased curb heights. Other control features not listed may be employed as approved by the Village.
3. Special attention must be paid to the geometric design, surface slope, and inlet elevation of the parking lot for Parking Lot Detention to be properly employed.
4. Ponding areas in parking or traffic areas shall be designed for a maximum potential depth of 8-inches with flood/overflow routing to an appropriate receiving storm water conveyance system after the maximum storage depth is reached.
5. This method is intended to control the runoff directly from the parking area, and therefore, typically not large enough to serve as a primary detention system or for storing large runoff volumes.
6. Clogging of the flow control device and icy conditions during cold weather must be maintained for proper operation of this system.
F. Underground Detention/Retention.
1. Underground retention/detention achieves the capture and temporary storage of storm water collected from the tributary drainage area. Curb inlets or surface drains lead storm water to underground vaults or systems of large diameter interconnected storage pipes. The storm water is then released directly through an outlet pipe back into a storm water drainage system. The outlet system is designed to meet the quantity control requirements.
2. Underground retention/detention may be useful for developments where land availability and land costs predicate against the development of surface storm water control measures and in retrofit and redevelopment settings.
3. Pretreatment is strongly recommended for minimizing maintenance of the storage unit and should be designed to remove sediment, floatables, and oils if prevalent in the drainage area.
4. Where an opening is provided that could allow the entry of personnel, the opening shall be marked, “DANGER CONFINED SPACE”.

(3) Settling Facilities - Concentrated storm water runoff from denuded areas flowing at rates which exceed the design capacity of sediment barriers, shall pass through a sediment-settling facility. The facility’s storage capacity shall be sixty-seven (67) cubic yards per acre of drainage area.
(4) Sediment Barriers - Sheet flow runoff from denuded areas shall be intercepted by sediment barriers. Sediment barriers, such as sediment fences or diversions directing runoff to settling facilities, shall protect adjacent properties and water resources from sediment transported by sheet flow.
(5) Storm Sewer Inlet Protection - All storm sewer inlets which accept water runoff from the development area shall be protected so that sediment-laden water will not enter the storm sewer system without first being treated to remove sediment, unless the storm sewer system drains to a settling facility.
(6) Working in or Crossing Streams. Streams, including beds and banks, shall be stabilized immediately after in-channel work is completed, interrupted, or stopped. To the extent practicable, construction vehicles shall be kept out of streams. Where in-channel work is necessary, precautions shall be taken to stabilize the work area during construction to minimize erosion.
If a live (wet) stream must be crossed by construction vehicles regularly during construction, a temporary stream crossing shall be provided.

(8) Sloughing and Dumping. No soil, rock, debris, or any other material shall be dumped or placed into a water resource or into such proximity that it may readily slough, slip, or erode into a water resource unless such dumping or placing is authorized by the Village of Waverly, and, when applicable, the USACE or ODNR, for such purposes as, but not limited to, construction of bridges, culverts, and erosion control structures. Unstable soils prone to slipping or landslides shall not be graded, excavated, filled nor have loads imposed upon them unless the work is done in accordance with a qualified professional engineer’s recommendations to correct, eliminate, or adequately address such problems.
(9) Cut and Fill Slopes - Cut and fill slopes shall be designed and constructed in a manner which will minimize erosion. Consideration shall be given to the length and steepness of the slope, soil type, up-slope drainage area, groundwater conditions, and slope stabilization.
(10) Stabilization of Outfalls and Channels - Outfalls and constructed or modified channels shall be designed and constructed to withstand the expected velocity of flow from a postdevelopment, 10-year, 24 hour storm without eroding.
(11) Establishment of Permanent Vegetation - Permanent vegetative cover shall be established on denuded areas not otherwise permanently stabilized. Permanent vegetation shall not be considered established until ground cover is achieved which, in the opinion of the Village provides adequate cover and is mature enough to control soil erosion satisfactorily and to survive adverse weather conditions.
(12) Disposition of Temporary Practices - All temporary erosion and sediment control practices shall be removed or permanently stabilized within thirty (30) days after final site stabilization is achieved or after the temporary practices are no longer needed, unless otherwise authorized by the Village.
(c) Maintenance. All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control practices shall be designed and constructed to minimize maintenance requirements. They shall be maintained and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. The person or entity responsible for the continued maintenance of permanent erosion controls shall be identified to the satisfaction of the Village.

Such lights shall be located at each entrance (streets and walkways) to the subdivision and in each street intersection within the subdivision. In addition, wherever the distance between the two (2) adjacent street (walkway) lights would exceed five hundred (500) feet, then additional street lights shall be installed in such a manner that proper light intensity shall be provided and maintained.
(d) Private Utilities. Private utilities shall be installed in the designated easement locations as illustrated on the roadway typical sections for each type of street as illustrated in Appendix A unless otherwise approved by the Village. All private utilities shall be installed in accordance with the specific utility provider at no expense to the Village for providing these utilities to the proposed development.
