(a)
An adequate system of storm water drainage designed for a ten year
rain shall be constructed and installed, consisting of pipes, tiles,
manholes, inlets, catch basins and other necessary facilities, that
will adequately drain the entire subdivision, protect roadway pavement
and will prevent the accumulation of storm water at any place under

systems shall be separate and independent of the sanitary sewer system,
if possible. Materials and methods of construction shall conform to
specifications adopted by resolution by the Village President and
Board of Trustees. Such drainage system shall be subject to approval
by the Village Engineer.
(b)
All street pavements in the subdivision shall be provided with drainage
inlets discharging directly into a storm sewer system which shall
conduct such storm water to an established watercourse or outfall
sewer. Inlets shall be placed on each side of the pavement in the
gutter lines at all low points, at street intersections (except when
such intersection is located at the high point) and at intervals along
the gutter line not exceeding 400 feet between inlets and shall be
connected only to catch basins. The catch basins shall be connected
only to manholes.
(c)
All street pavements in subdivisions shall be bounded with combination
Portland cement concrete curb and gutter. The curb and gutter may
be deleted only with the permission of the Plan, Zoning and Development
Commission.
(d)
Design of storm sewers shall be based on a flow computed on the basis
of the following formula:
|
Q = CIA
|
|
Where:
| ||
|
Q
|
=
|
Stormwater runoff in cubic feet per second from the drainage
area.
|
|
C
|
=
|
A coefficient representing the ratio of runoff to rainfall,
C shall not be less than 0.35 for residential, 0.50 for multi-family
and 0.75 for business areas in small or short drainage systems.
|
|
I
|
=
|
The intensity of rainfall in inches per hour for a duration
equal to the time of concentration. The value of I will depend on
the rainfall intensity curve for the Elmwood Park vicinity in a ten-year
storm.
|
|
A
|
=
|
The drainage area in acres, including all tributary areas.
|
(e)
Minimum velocity shall be two feet per second and the maximum velocity
shall be 10 feet per second.
(f)
The minimum sewer size shall be 10 inches.
(g)
Provisions must be made in the design of the storm sewer for the
runoff which will come on the subject land from tributary lands through
natural watercourses. In calculating the runoff from tributary lands,
consideration shall be given to the character of the developed land
in determining the C factor. For undeveloped land the C factor shall
be no less than 0.35. Such designs shall provide adequate capacity
for receiving such drainage from tributary areas on a basis of the
ultimate development of such tributary areas. No increase in stormwater
runoff shall be directed to any existing watercourse or drainage system
unless the Village Engineer shall have determined that the receiving
watercourse or drainage system shall have adequate capacity to receive
such increased flow.
(h)
All storm sewers and connection pipes between inlets, catch basins
and storm sewer which are constructed beneath existing or proposed
paving improvements shall be backfilled in lifts of 12 inches with
"stone screenings" or "trench backfill," as defined in the State standard
specifications. Reinforced RCP pipe shall be used in all pavements.

(1)
No continuous swale shall have a length exceeding 800 feet unless
approved by the Village Engineer.
(2)
The minimum grade of flow line shall be five-tenths of 1%.
(3)
At no point in the swale shall the flow line be more than three
feet below the finished grade of the topsoil at the foundation of
the building opposite the swale.
(4)
No change in alignment of a backyard swale shall exceed 45°.
(5)
All such swales or drainage easement areas shall be sodded.
(j)
Lots and blocks shall be so sloped in final grading that stormwater
runoff will be away from the building foundation and from the rear
of the lot to the proposed pavement or sewer system. Where swales
are allowed, only the runoff from the rear yard shall drain toward
the swale. Grading will be done so as to keep runoff from running
onto adjoining lots to a minimum.
(k)
No sump pump shall be so installed and connected so as to discharge
stormwater runoff onto adjoining property or upon any street or public
way. Building construction on parcels which are proximate to storm
sewers shall cause footing drains from such structures to be connected
to the storm sewer system. Building construction on parcels which
are proximate to a retention pond may be required to cause footing
drains from such structures to be discharged into the retention pond
rather than to be connected to a storm sewer system.
[Ord. 90-4, 5-21-1990, § 1]
(a)
A complete system of sanitary sewer lines, including sewer stub terminals
at the outside curblines for each lot, shall be constructed throughout

to specifications adopted by resolution by the Village President and
Board of Trustees. There shall be a minimum gradient of one-quarter
inch per feet from house to the "Y."
(c)
The sewer shall be constructed at such a grade as to insure a minimum
velocity of flow of two feet per second and a maximum velocity of
flow of eight feet per second. Sewer and water services, if in the
same trench, shall be separated by at least one foot vertically, the
water being higher, otherwise separate trenches must be used.
(d)
Sewers shall be placed on public rights of way and shall at no time
be placed beneath and paralleling paving improvements except by special
permission of the Village Board of Trustees. If it is found necessary
to construct such sewers or services beneath pavements, or if such
sewers or services shall cross beneath existing or proposed pavements,
all trenches caused thereby shall be filled with "stone screenings"
or "trench backfill" placed in twelve inch lifts as defined by the
state standard specifications.
(e)

anticipate and provide capacity for all other sanitary sewerage from
adjacent lands. Such designs shall provide adequate capacity for receiving
such sewerage from these areas on a basis of the ultimate development
of such areas.

in the subdivision and shall be constructed of type K copper pipe
having an internal diameter of not less than one inch. Such services
shall be equipped with all necessary fittings such as a curb stop
and shall be installed before the roadway pavement is constructed.
Right-hand gate valves and valve basins shall be installed on the
water distribution system at intervals of not more than 1,200 feet
on continuous runs and shall also be placed so that not more than

utilities house service connections and utility mains, an accurate
map, in duplicate, showing the exact location of all such mains, together
with manholes, shutoff valves, buffalo boxes, Y connections and other
similar facilities, by distance in feet from street lines and side
lot lines shall be filed with the Village Clerk.

Provision should be made to accommodate the increased runoff
caused by changed soil and surface conditions during and after development.
Drainageways should be designed so that the final gradients and the
resultant velocities of discharges will not create additional erosion,
and should be protected against erosion and sedimentation during development.
(e)
Permanent vegetation and structures should be installed as soon
as practical during development.
(f)
Erosion and sedimentation control measures shall be in accordance
with the standards and requirements contained in "Procedures and Standards
for Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control in Northeastern Illinois,"
as amended from time to time, and incorporated herein by reference.
