Chapter 16.24 DESIGN STANDARDS
Section 16.24.100 Drainage system.
The drainage system shall be designed and constructed to
provide for the proper drainage of the
subdivision. The following items shall be provided:
A. Drainage Report. This report shall
address the existing and proposed drainage conditions
and shall evaluate the ability of the proposed water course, channels, drainage tiles, farm tiles,
storm sewers, culverts and other improvements to handle the run-off. A registered professional
engineer or land surveyor shall prepare this report. The report shall include:
1. Estimates of the water entering
the subdivision;
2. Conditions of the watershed that
may affect run-off such as subsoil type, positive drainage
channels, obstructions and so forth;
3. Quantities of flow at each pick-up
point, or culvert;
4. Description of minor and major
drainage systems. The minor system will usually consist of
storm sewers, drainage ditches, grassed swales, storm inlets or infiltration structures. The minor
system shall be designed to handle a ten-year storm. The major system will usually consist of
roadways, culverts, bridges or overflow drainage flow-ways. The major system shall be designed to
handle a one-hundred year storm;
5. The location of all existing subsurface
drainage tiles and a plan to preserve or relocate the
tiles;
6. Proposals which include detention,
retention or infiltration facilities shall include data
coordinating field tests with design assumptions and estimates of expected annual maintenance
costs.
B. Street Drainage System Standards.
The streets shall serve as the primary drainage system
and be designed to carry at least the street, adjacent land and building stormwater. The following
standards shall be followed:
1. The system shall consist of curbs,
gutters, dry wells and storm sewers. Side ditches and
culverts may be used in administrative and agricultural subdivisions.
2. For subdivisions with curbs and
gutters, drainage inlets shall be spaced and capacity shall
be adequate to limit the water onto the street per the design standards specified in Table I, Public
Street Design Standards set out in Section 16.24.030.
3. For subdivisions without curbs
and gutters, the swales, culverts and inlets shall be adequate
to accommodate all water during a ten-year storm. For a one-hundred-year storm, all water shall be
contained within the right-of-way.
4. Bicycle safe protective gratings
shall be placed over all inlets.
5. Proposals which include detention
or retention ponds or infiltration facilities shall include
data coordinating field tests with design assumptions and estimates of expected annual maintenance
costs.
6. All streets having curb and gutter
on which stormwater flows across intersections and/or
driveways, shall be provided with concrete cross-gutter at such intersections and driveways. (Ord.
