16-21
B. No person shall initiate any land disturbing activity without first obtaining a permit
from the City as may be required by Chapter 4, Sections 4 and 5 of the City
Code, subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
9C. In the case of all residential subdivisions, multiple family, business and industrial
developments, the drainage plans with appropriate spot site elevations shall be
submitted to the City Engineer for review and the final drainage plan shall be
subject to written approval. In the case of such uses, no modifications in grade
and drainage flow through fill, erection of retaining walls or other such actions
shall be permitted until such plans have been reviewed and received written
approval from the City Engineer.
GD. The following standards shall apply to all development and activity that
necessitates the grading, stripping, cutting, filling, or exposure of soils.
1. General Standards:
a. The development shall conform to the natural limitations presented
by topography and soil so as to create the least potential for soil
erosion.
b. Erosion and siltation control measures shall be coordinated with the
different stages of development. Appropriate control measures
shall be installed prior to development when necessary to control
erosion.
C. Land shall be developed in increments of workable size such that
adequate erosion and siltation controls can be provided as
construction progresses. The smallest practical area of land shall
be exposed at any one period of time.
d. The drainage system shall be constructed and operational as
quickly as possible during construction.
e. Whenever possible, natural vegetation shall be retained and
protected.
f. Where the topsoil is removed, sufficient arable soil shall be set
aside for re -spreading over the developed area. The soil shall be
restored to a depth of four (4) inches and shall be of a quality at
least equal to the soil quality prior to development.
g. When soil is exposed, the exposure shall be for the shortest
feasible period of time. No exposure shall be planned to exceed
sixty (60) days. Said time period shall be extended only if the
Zoning Administrator is satisfied that adequate measures have
been established and will remain in place.
16-22
h. The natural drainage system shall be used as far as is feasible for
the storage and flow of runoff. Storm water drainage shall be
discharged to marshlands, swamps, retention basins or other
treatment facilities. Diversion of storm water to marshlands or
swamps shall be considered for existing or planned surface
drainage. Marshlands and swamps used for storm water shall
provide for natural or artificial water level control. Temporary
storage areas or retention basins scattered throughout developed
areas shall be encouraged to reduce peak flows, erosion damage,
and construction costs.
2. Exposed Slopes: The following control measures shall be taken to control
erosion during any activity where soils are exposed:

_ 1. G+n GRe 111) fnn+ "�rt+c-a�Grading and erosion control plans
for exposed slopes shall comply with Section 4-4-5 of the City Code
and are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
sb. At the foot of each exposed slope, a channel and berm should be
constructed to control runoff. The channelized water should be
diverted to a sedimentation basin (debris basin, silt basin or silt
trap) before being allowed to enter the natural drainage system.
dc. Along the top of each exposed slope, a berm should be constructed
to prevent runoff from flowing over the edge of the slope. Where
runoff collecting behind said berm cannot be diverted elsewhere
and must be directed down the slope, appropriate measures shall
be taken to prevent erosion. Such measures should consist of
either an asphalt paved flow apron and drop chute laid down the
slope or a flexible slope drain. At the base of the slope drain or
flow apron, a gravel energy dissipator should be installed to prevent
erosion at the discharge end.
ed. Exposed slopes shall be protected by whatever means will
effectively prevent erosion considering the degree of slope, soils
material, and expected length of exposure. Slope protection shall
consist of mulch, sheets of plastic, burlap or jute netting, sod
blankets, fast growing grasses or temporary seedings of annual
grasses. Mulch consists of hay, straw, wood chips, corn stalks,
bark or other protective material. Ul da -h gzhn, ,Id ho =a-hnrad in
to be anchored by
means as approved by the City Engineer.
16-23
fe. Alternate control measures, other than those specifically stated
above or provided for in Chapter 4, Section 4 of the City Code, may
be used in place of the above measures if it can be demonstrated
that they will as effectively protect exposed slopes subject to
review and approval of the City Engineer.
3. Design Standards:
a. Waterways:
(1) The use of the natural above ground drainage system to
dispose of runoff is strongly encouraged. Storm sewers are
only be used where it can be demonstrated that the use of
the above ground natural drainage system will not
adequately dispose of runoff. Above ground runoff disposal
waterways may be constructed to augment the natural
drainage system. To the extent possible, the natural and
constructed waterways shall be coordinated with an open
space trail system.
(2) The widths of a constructed waterway shall be sufficiently
large to adequately channel runoff from a ten (10) *�c-#
storm. Adequacy shall be determined by the expected runoff
when full development of the drainage area is reached.
(3) No fences or structures shall be constructed across the
waterway that will reduce or restrict the flow of water.
(4) The banks of the waterway shall be protected with a
permanent turf vegetation.
(5) The banks of the waterway shall not exceed five (5) feet
horizontal to one (1) foot vertical in gradient.
(6) The gradient of the waterway bed shall not exceed a grade
that will result in a velocity that will cause erosion of the
banks of the waterway.
(7) The bed of the waterway shall be protected with turf, sod, or
concrete. If turf or sod will not function properly, rip rap may
be used. Rip rap shall consist of quarried limestone,
fieldstone (if random rip rap is used) or construction
materials provided said construction materials are limited to
asphalt cement and concrete. The rip rap shall be no
smaller than two (2) inches square nor no larger than two (2)
feet square. Construction materials shall be used only in
16-24
those areas where the waterway is not used as part of a
recreation trail system.
(8) If the flow velocity in the waterway is such that erosion of the
turf sidewall will occur and said velocity cannot be decreased
via velocity control structures, then other materials may
replace turf on the sidewalls. Either gravel or rip rap may be
allowed to prevent erosion at these points.
b. Water Velocity:
(1) The flow velocity of runoff in waterways shall be controlled to
a velocity that will minimize erosion of the waterway.
(2) Flow velocity shall be controlled through the installation of
diversions, berms, slope drains, and other similarly effective
velocity control structures.
C. Sediment Control:
(1) To prevent sedimentation of waterways, pervious and
impervious sediment traps and other sediment control
structures shall be incorporated throughout the contributing
watershed.
(2) Temporary pervious sediment traps could consist of a
construction of bales of hay with a low spillway embankment
section of sand and gravel that permits a slow movement of
water while filtering sediment. Such structures may serve as
temporary sediment control features during the construction
stage of a development.
(3) Permanent impervious sediment control structures consist of
sediment basins (debris basins, desilting basins, or silt traps)
and shall be utilized to remove sediment from runoff prior to
its disposal in any permanent body of water.
d. Maintenance of Erosion Control System:
(1) The erosion and velocity control structures shall be
maintained in a condition that will insure continuous
functioning according to the provisions of this Chapter.
(2) Sediment basins shall be maintained as the need occurs to
insure continuous desilting action.
(3) The areas utilized for runoff waterways and sediment basins
shall not be allowed to exist in an unsightly condition. The
16-25
banks of the sediment basins and waterways shall be
landscaped.
(4) Prior to the approval of any development, the developer shall
make provision for continued maintenance of the erosion
and sediment control system.
DE. Building Elevations:
1. The top of the foundation and the garage floor of all structures shall be
eighteen (18) inches above the grade of the crown of the street upon
which the property fronts.
2. The lowest floor, including basement floor, of all structures constructed on
lots preliminary platted or established after [EFFECTIVE DATE] shall be at
a level at least three (3) feet above the highest known groundwater table
elevation. If requested by the Building Official, the groundwater table
elevation shall be determined by a licensed soils engineer using soil
borings, piezometers, or the observation of mottled soils.
3. Exceptions to this standard may be approved by the 7nr MQ, 4HminiQ+�T
..,
administrative permit upon consultation with the City Engineer for special
circumstances such as increased setback, site topography, septic system
operation and the like, provided that proper site and area drainage is
maintained and the elevation of the structure is in keeping with the
character of the area.
.F. Wetlands: In addition to the requirements of Section 93 of this Chapter, the
following shall be the minimum protection for natural wetlands.
1. Runoff must not be discharged directly into wetlands without appropriate
quality and quantity runoff control, depending on the individual wetland's
vegetation sensitivity, subject to approval of the City Engineer.
2. Wetlands must not be drained or filled, wholly or partially, unless replaced
by either restoring or creating wetland areas of at least equal public value.
Compensating for the impact by replacing or providing substitute wetland
resources or environments with those of at least equal public value.
Compensation, including the replacement ratio and quality of replacement
should be consistent with the requirements outlined in the rules adopted
by the Board of Water and Soil Resources to implement the Wetland
Conservation Act of 1991, as may be amended.
3. Work in and around wetlands must be guided by the following principles in
descending order of priority:
a. Avoid both the direct and indirect impact of the activity that may
destroy or diminish the wetland.
16-26
b. Minimize the impact by limiting the degree or magnitude of the
wetland related activity and its implementation.
C. Rectify the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the
affected wetland environment with one of at least equal public
value.
d. Reduce or eliminate the adverse impact over time by preservation
and maintenance operations during the life of the activity.
e. Compensate for the impact by replacing or providing approved
substitute wetland resources or environments.
4. vegetated Buffer Protection.
a. A protective buffer of natural vegetation at least twenty (20) feet
wide from the delineated edge at the time of development shall
surround all wetlands within parcels preliminary platted, developed,
or redeveloped after October 14, 2002. The City Engineer may
require a larger buffer than the minimum based upon site specific
design issues. The design criteria should follow common principles
and the example of nearby natural areas. The site should be
examined for existing buffer zones and mimic the slope structure
and vegetation as much as possible.
b. A principal building setback of forty (40) feet from the delineated
edge of all wetlands or twenty (20) feet from the edge of a buffer
easement, whichever is greater, shall be provided within parcels
preliminary platted, developed, or redeveloped after October 14,
2002
C. Grading, construction, or vegetation alteration/disturbance within
this buffer is prohibited. Buffer design and protection during
construction shall accomplish any or all of the following:
(1) Slow water runoff.
(2) Enhance water infiltration.
(3) Trap sediment, fertilizers, pathogens, heavy metals, blowing
snow and soil, and act as corridors for wildlife.
(4) Drain tiles shall be identified and rendered inoperable.
d. The wetland and buffer shall be platted as an outlot if established
as part of a subdivision application. All other applications shall
require dedication of a perpetual conservation easement.
16-27
5. Ponding areas established for stormwater drainage purposes are exempt
from the provisions of this section.
20-16-4-96: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:
A. Purpose: It is the purpose of this section to encourage the use of lighting
systems that will reduce light pollution while increasing night time safety, utility,
security and productivity.
B. Exemptions. The provisions of this section shall not apply to the following:
1. Temporary outdoor lighting used during customary holiday seasons.
