No. 2014-1783]
In order to minimize atmospheric pollution and to reduce the
amount of dirt, mud, debris or other substances, whether liquid or
solid, from being deposited upon the streets, public ways and sewers
in the Village, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation
to maintain, keep or conduct, or cause to be maintained, kept or conducted,
any parking lot within the Village unless the entire surface thereof
is graded and is covered with either portland cement concrete or asphalt
concrete. Such concrete shall meet the specifications for driveways
prescribed by the Subdivision Regulations for the Village of Flossmoor,
Illinois, which specifications are incorporated herein by reference.
[Amended 7-7-2014 by Ord.
No. 2014-1783]
All applicable provisions of the Village relating to stormwater
drainage shall apply to all parking lots. In the discretion of the
Director of Public Works, curbs, gutters and inlets may be required
to effectuate an acceptable drainage design in accordance with good
engineering practice, in order to eliminate or minimize surface drainage
over or across adjacent private property or public ways, which could
otherwise create a safety hazard for pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
Curb blocks allowing flow-through of stormwater and permanently
anchored by pins to the pavement surface, or solid curbs conducting
stormwater to inlets, shall be installed where the Director of Public
Works determines a barrier to be necessary in order to prevent vehicles
in the parking area from encroaching over or across adjacent private
property or public ways and thereby creating a safety hazard for pedestrian
or vehicular traffic.
[Amended 7-7-2014 by Ord.
No. 2014-1783]
To the extent not inconsistent with any other provisions of
this article, all of the regulations for off-street parking and loading
set forth in the Flossmoor Zoning Ordinance, which provisions are
not incorporated herein by reference, shall apply to all parking lots.[1]
