Commission recommends subdivision drainage standards to limit lot‑to‑lot runoff and require site certification
Planning staff presented proposed amendments to Chapter 10 to require engineered lot drainage, limit how many lots stormwater may cross before entering the storm system, require finished pad elevation and site‑certification prior to occupancy; the commission voted unanimously to recommend the amendments to council.
The full story
City planning staff outlined proposed amendments to Chapter 10 of Springtown’s subdivision regulations intended to tighten lot‑level drainage controls for new single‑family subdivisions. Key elements include engineered grading and drainage for new plats, a requirement that finished pad elevations be at least 6 inches higher than the top of curb, limiting stormwater conveyance across adjacent lots (conveyance may cross only one other lot without a drainage easement), and a site‑certification by a surveyor prior to issuance of occupancy.
