(C) Alley intersections, and sharp changes in align- ment shall be avoided, but where necessary cornersshall be cut off sufficient to permit safe vehicular movement for trucks. 228 § 503 . 14 SUBDIVISION OF LAND § 503. 15 (D) Dead-end alleys shall be avoided where possible but if unavoidable, shall be provided with adequate turn-around facilities at the dead-end, as determined by the Board. Sec. 503 . 15 Surface and Storm Drainage (A) Request for approval of preliminary plat plans shall be accompanied by a comprehensive study of the surface and storm drainage system. In making this study, the modified formula shall be used in computing the amount of storm water to be carried by the Drainage System. The formula to be used is as follows : Q = CIA, in which Q = total storm water run-off C = a run-off coefficient representing the ratio of run-off to rainfall I = intensity of rainfall, or rate of rain- fall in inches per hour A = surfaced area in acres In the use of this formula, the following ratio of imperviousness Zoning classifications shall be taken: Commercial 90% Residential & Industrial Areas 40% Parks & undeveloped Areas 5% Since the coefficient of run-off is a combination of these factors, together with other factors such as retention, imperviousness, etc. , the following coef- ficients of run-off may be used in the study. Coefficient of Run-off "C" Duration of Storm (minutes) Area 10 15 20 30 60 120 Commercial .548 .645 .745 .836 .955 .975 Residential .356 .440 .502 .576 .680 .740 Undeveloped .237 .316 .369 .422 .522 .617 The design storm curve "I" to be used in these studies shall be in the five-year frequency curve based on the U.S. Weather Bureau and the U.S . Department of Agricul- ture data. In moderately sized developments, the rate of rainfall at the one-hour point may be used. § 503 . 15 SUBDIVISION OF LAND § 503. 15 229 For the City of Cape Canaveral this figure is approx- imately three (3) inches per hour. Further, in using this formula, consideration can also be given to the fact that the water need not be entirely removed until three hours after the end of this one hour rainfall . The storm drainage plan may include the use of street curbs and gutters and open ditches as transportation arteries for the storm water, provided that the length and grade of the street is not too great thereby per- mitting the accumulation of excessive amounts of water in the street proper. Culverts shall be used at all points where open ditches occur at street or driveway crossings. Underground storm sewers shall be used if the area to be drained is too large for normal sized drainage ditches. The decision in this respect shall be made by the Board upon the recommendation of the City' s Engineer. Outfall of the subdivision surface or storm drainage system shall be one of the following: (1) Proper connection between the new subdivision drainage system and the existing City drainage system, if, in the opinion of the City' s Engineer, the existing City system is adequate. (2) Proper connection from the new subdivision to existing natural drainage, such as a creek, river , or low swampy areas adjacent to the subdivision. (3) Proper connection from the new subdivision to an existing drainage ditch or canal of the City, County or Drainage District, provided written permission has been secured from the political units having ownership of such drainage facility. (4) In the event none of the methods of disposal of the storm waters from the subdivision outlined above are readily accessible to the subdivision, it shall be the responsibility of the subdivider to provide a suitable outfall for the storm waters of the new subdivision by securing permanent easements or the purchase of right-of-way for the construction of a suitable underground storm drain through private property, so as to connect the subdivision storm drainage system with a satisfactory disposal area. In addition the cost of obtaining and installing such drainage right-of-way and structures shall be the responsibility of the developer. 230 § 5 0 3. 15 SUBDIVISION OF LAND § 503 . 18 (B) Materials for Storm Drainage Systems (1) Pipe used in the construction of storm drain- age systems shall be reinforced concrete, vitrified clay or bituminous coated corrugated metal pipe and pipe arch, or cast iron pipe conforming to the Florida State Road Department Standard Specifications April 1 , 1954 , Section 507, para. 507 . 1 through 507 . 8 inclusive. (2) Catch basins and manholes shall be either masonry or reinforced concrete Class B furnished with cast iron frame grating or cover, conforming to the Florida State Road Department Standard Specifications April 1, 1954, Section 505 , para. 505. 1, Masonry Brick; Section 209 , Structural Concrete, para. 209 . 1 through 209 . 22; Section 520, Steel and Other Metals, para. 520 . 12 , Frames and Gratings.

Sec. 503.15 Surface and Storm Drainage (A) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT plans shall be accompanied by a comprehensive study of the surface and storm drainage system. In making this study, the modified formula shall - 24 - 147 be used in computing the amount of storm water to be carried by the Drainage System. The formula to be used is as follows : - Q = CIA, in which Q = total storm water run-off C = a run-off coefficient representing the ratio of run-off to rainfall I = intensity of rainfall, or rate of rainfall in inches per hour A = surfaced area in Acres In the use of this formula, the following ratio of impervious- ness Zoning classifications shall be taken: Commercial .................................................................90% Residential & Industrial Areas .................................40% Parks & undeveloped Areas ....................................5% Since the coefficient of run-off is a combination of these factors , together with other factors such as retention, impervious- ness , etc. , the following coefficients of run-off may be used in the study. Coefficient of Run-of "C" Duration of Storm (minutes) 10 15 20 30 60 120 Commercial Area .548 .645 .745 .836 .955 .975 Residential Area .356 .440 .502 .576 .680 .740 Undeveloped Area .237 .316 .369 .422 .522 .617 The design storm curve "I" to be used in these studies shall be in the five year frequency curve based on the U. S . Weather Bureau and the U. S . Department of Agriculture data. In moderately sized developments , the rate of rainfall at the one hour point may be used. For the City of Cape Canaveral this figure is approximately three ( 3) inches per hour. Further in using this formula, con- sideration can also be given to the fact that the water need not be entirely removed until three hours after the end of this one hour rainfall . The storm drainage plan may include the use of street curbs and gutters and open ditches as transportation arteries for the storm water, provided that the length and grade of the street is not too great thereby permitting the accumulation of excessive amounts of - 25 - 148 water in the street proper. Culverts shall be used at all points where open ditches occur at street or driveway crossings . Under- ground storm sewers shall be used if the area to be drained is too large for normal sized drainage ditches. The decision in this respect shall be made by the Board upon the recommendation of the City's Engineer. Outfall of the subdivision surface or storm drainage system shall be one of the following: (1) Proper connection between the new subdivision drainage system and the existing City drainage system, if, in the opinion of the City' s Engineer, the existing City system is adequate. ( 2) Proper connection from the new subdivision to existing natural drainage , such as a creek, river or low swampy areas adjacent to the subdivision. (3) Proper connection from the new subdivision to and existing drainage ditch or canal of the City, County or Drain- age District, provided written permission has been secured from the political units having ownership of such drainage facility.
