8.10.010 Purpose.
It is recognized that smaller streams and drainage channels serving the Town of
Ferdinand may not have sufficient capacity to receive and convey storm water
runoff, resulting when land use changes from open or agricultural use to a more
urbanized use. It is further recognized that deposits of sediment from
developments during and after construction can reduce capacities of storm
sewers and drainage systems and result in damages to receiving lakes and streams.
Therefore, it shall be the policy of Town of Ferdinand and its Area Plan
Commission that the storage and controlled release of storm water runoff shall be
required of all new development, any redevelopment and other new construction
in the jurisdictional territory of the Town of Ferdinand. The release rate of storm
water from developed lands shall not exceed the release rate from the land area in
its present land use.
Because topography and the availability and adequacy of outlets for storm runoff
vary with almost every site, the requirements for storm drainage tend to be an
individual matter for any project. It is recommended that each proposed project
be discussed with the Planning Commission office at the earliest practical time in
the planning stage (Ord. 02-6, SI, Apr. 10, 2002)
8.10.020 Conflicting Ordinances.
The provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed as additional requirements to
minimum standards required by other ordinances of the Town. In the case of
conflicting requirements, the most restrictive shall apply. (Ord. 02-6, SII, Apr. 10,
2002)
8.10.030 Compliance With Other Ordinances.
In addition to the requirements of this ordinance, compliance with the
requirements set forth in other applicable ordinances with respect to submission
and approval of preliminary and final subdivision plats, improvement plans,
building and zoning permits, construction inspections, appeals, and similar
matters, and compliance with applicable State of Indiana statutes and regulations
shall be required. (Ord. 02-6, SIII, Apr. 10, 2002)

8.10.050 Storm Water Control Policy.
It is recognized that the smaller streams and drainage channels serving the Town
of Ferdinand may not have sufficient capacity to receive and convey storm water
runoff resulting from continued urbanization. Accordingly, the storage and
controlled release rate of excess storm water runoff shall be required for any
development, redevelopment and new construction located within the
jurisdictional territory of the Town of Ferdinand.
Possible exceptions to the requirements are residential or commercial
developments that increase the impervious or semi-impervious surfaces by less
than 10,000 square feet (0.23 acres), or individual residential structures to be
constructed on lots situated within existing platted additions and/or subdivisions,
or on unplatted tracts. These projects may be exempt from this ordinance, but
must submit an engineering scaled plot plan showing the entire property, the
proposed improvements, the existing drainage breaks and flow direction and the
proposed drainage breaks and flow directions. The plot plan shall be submitted
along with the building permit for the proposed improvement.
Residential or commercial developments that increase the impervious or semiimpervious
surfaces by less than 10,000 square feet (.23 acre) are exempt.
However, a development shall be subject to this ordinance when the combined
sum of the impervious or semi-impervious surfaces initiated after the effective
date of this ordinance is 10,000 square feet or greater.
For those developments that will increase the impervious or semi-impervious
surface areas by more than 10,000 square feet, the release rate of storm water from
development, redevelopments, and new construction may not exceed the storm
water runoff from the land area in its present state of development. The
developer must submit to the Board, detailed computations of runoff before and
after development, redevelopment or new construction which demonstrate that
runoff will not be increased.
These computations must show that the peak runoff rate after development for
the 25 year return period storm of critical duration must not exceed the 10 year
return period predevelopment peak runoff rate. The critical duration storm is that
storm duration that requires the greatest detention storage.
Computations for areas up to and including 200 acres may be based on the
Rational Method; typical runoff coefficients are listed herein. For areas larger
than 200 acres, hydrograph techniques and/or computer drainage modeling
methods shall be used. Hydrograph techniques and computer modeling methods
used to determine storm water runoff shall be proven methods, subject to
approval of the Board. (Ord. 02-6, SV, Apr. 10, 20020
8.10.060 Information Requirements of Storm Drainage Ordinance.
The following information and data provided by an Indiana licensed professional
engineer or land surveyor engaged in storm drainage design shall be submitted to
the Board at the time of application for a building permit for any development,
redevelopment or new construction on real estate which lies within the Regulated
Area.
- Topographic and Soils Maps. A soils map of the proposed
development indicating soils names and their hydrologic
classification must be provided when Soil Conservation Service
(SCS) hydrologic methods are used. In addition, a topographic map
of the land to be Subdivided and such adjoining land whose
topography may affect the layout or drainage of the development
must be provided. The contour intervals shall be one foot when
slopes are less than four percent and shall be two feet when the
slope exceeds four percent. On this map, the following shall be
shown:

form (or in combined preliminary and final form), designed to
handle safely the storm water runoff and to detain the increased
storm water runoff must be provided. The plan shall provide or be
accompanied by maps or other descriptive materials indicating the
feasibility of the drainage plan and showing the following:
- The extent and area of such watershed affecting the design of
detention facilities as shown on USGS Quadrangle Maps or

(Ord. 02-6, Fee Schedule, Apr. 10, 2002)
8.10.070 Construction and Materials.
- Construction. Specifications shall be in keeping with the current
standards of engineering practice and shall describe the
requirements for proper installation of the project to achieve its
intended purpose.
- Materials. Materials shall comply with the latest edition of the
Indiana Department of Transportation's "Standard Specifications".
(Ord. 02-6, SVII, Apr. 10, 2002)
8.10.080 Storm Water Detention.
The following shall govern the design of any improvement with respect to the
detention of storm water runoff.
- Acceptable Detention Methods. The increased storm water runoff
resulting from a proposed development should be detained on-site
by the provisions of appropriate wet or dry bottom reservoirs
(basins), by storage on flat roofs, parking lots, streets, lawns, or
other acceptable techniques. Measures which retard the rate of
overland flow and the velocity in runoff channels shall also be used
to control the runoff rate partially. Detention basins shall be sized
to store excess flows from storms with a twenty-five (25) year return
period. Control devices shall limit the discharge to a rate no greater
than that prescribed by this ordinance.
- Design Storm. Design of storm water detention facilities shall be
based on a return period of once in 25 years. The storage volume
and outflow rate shall be sufficient to handle storm water runoff
from a critical duration storm.
- Allowable Release Rate. The allowable release rate of storm water
originating from a proposed development shall not exceed the
amount specified in Section 8.10.050 - Storm Water Control Policy.
- Determination of Storage Volume - Rational Method. For areas of
two hundred (200) acres or less, the Rational Method may be used to
determine the required volume of storm water storage. The
following eleven step procedure may be used to determine the
required volume of storage. Table 6 in Appendix A shall be used to
compute the required storage volume. Other design methods may
also be used, subject to approval of the Board. Steps Procedure:
- Determine total drainage area in acres "A".
- Determine composite runoff coefficient "Cu" based on
existing land use (undeveloped).
- Determine time of concentration "tc" in minutes based on
existing conditions using the TR55 method (See Appendix B).
- Determine rainfall intensity "Iu" in inches per hour, based on
time of concentration and using data given in Table 3 for the
ten (10) year return period.
- Compute runoff based on existing land use (undeveloped),
and ten (10) year return period:
Qu = CuIuA
- Determine composite runoff coefficient "Cd" based on
developed conditions and a twenty-five (25) year return
period.
- Determine the twenty-five (25) year return period rainfall
intensity "Id" for various storm durations "td" for the developed
area using Table 3 (See Appendix A).
- Determine developed inflow rates "Qd" for various storm
durations "td", measured in hours.
Qd = CdIdA
- Compute a storage rate "Std" for various storm durations "td"
until a peak storage volume is determined.
Std = Qd - Qu
- Compute required storage volume "SR" in acre-feet for each
storm duration "td". This assumes a triangular hydrograph of
duration (2*td) hours with the peak flow of Std at td hours.
SR = Std (td/12)
- Select the largest storage volume computed in step J for
detention basin design.
- Determination of Storage Volume - Other Methods. Methods other
than the rational method for determining runoff and routing of
storm water may be used to determine the storage volume required
to control storm water runoff. The procedures or methods used
must receive the prior approval of the Board.
- General Detention Basin Design Requirements. Basins shall be
constructed to detain temporarily the storm water runoff which
exceeds the maximum peak flow rate authorized by this Ordinance.
The volume of storage provided in these basins, together with such
storage as may be authorized in other on-site facilities shall be
sufficient to control excess runoff from the twenty-five (25) year
storm. The following design principles shall be observed:
- The maximum volume of water stored and subsequently
released at the design release rate shall not result in a storage
duration in excess of 24 hours unless additional storms occur
within the period.
- The maximum planned depth of storm water stored (without
a permanent pool) shall not exceed six feet.
- All storm water detention facilities shall be separated by not
less than 10 feet from any building or structure to be
occupied.
- Slopes no steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical for safety,
erosion control, stability and ease of maintenance shall be
permitted on mowable grass slopes. Steeper slopes are
permitted provided the slopes are made stable with
appropriate cover materials.
- Safety screens having a maximum opening of 4 inches shall
be provided for any pipe or opening to prevent children or
large animals from crawling into the structures.
- Emergency overflow facilities such as a weir or spillway shall
be provided for the release of exceptional storm runoffs or in
emergency conditions should the normal discharge devices
become totally or partially inoperative. The overflow facility
shall be of such design that its operation is automatic and
does not require manual attention.
- For mowable detention basins, grass or other suitable
vegetative cover shall be provided throughout the entire
basin area. Grass should be cut regularly.
- Stormwater detention can be provided below ground in
storm water piping or in approved below grade stormwater
structures. Above grade detention facilities can be
constructed of other materials provided the above-grade
structure and materials receive prior approval from the Board.
- Debris and trash removal and other necessary maintenance
shall be performed on a regular basis to assure continued
operation in conformance to design.
- Facility Financial Responsibility. The construction cost of storm
water control systems and facilities as required by this ordinance
shall be accepted as part of the cost of land development. If general
public use of the facility can be demonstrated, negotiations for
public participation in the cost of such development may be
considered.
- Facility Maintenance Responsibility. Maintenance of detention/
retention facilities during construction and thereafter, shall be the
responsibility of the land developer/owner. Assignment of
responsibility for maintaining facilities serving more than one lot or
holding shall be documented by appropriate covenants to property
deeds, unless responsibility is formally accepted by a public body,
and shall be determined before the final drainage plans are
approved.Storm water detention and retention basins may be donated to the
Town of Ferdinand for ownership and permanent maintenance
provided that:
- The Town is willing to accept responsibility.
- The facility has been designed and constructed according to
all applicable provisions of this ordinance.
- All improvements have been constructed, approved and
accepted by the Town for the land area served by the
drainage basin.
- Inspections. All public and privately owned detention storage
facilities will be inspected by representatives of the Town of
Ferdinand or Area Plan Commission not less often than once every 2
years. Inspection reports shall be kept on file for at least 6 years and
shall be retained with the records of the Town of Ferdinand Street
Department, or such other designee of the Town of Ferdinand.
- Corrective Measures. If deficiencies are found by the inspector, the
owner of the detention/retention facility will be required to take the
necessary measures to correct such deficiencies. If the owner fails to
do so, the Town of Ferdinand will undertake the work and collect
from the owner using lien rights, if necessary.
- Joint Development of Control Systems. Storm water control systems
may be planned and constructed jointly by two or more developers
as long as compliance with this Ordinance is maintained.
- Installation of Control Systems. Runoff and erosion control systems
shall be installed as soon as possible during the course of site
development. Detention/retention basins shall be designed with an
additional (10) percent of available capacity to allow for sediment
accumulation resulting from development and to permit the pond to
function for reasonable periods between cleanings. Basins should
be designed to collect sediment and debris in specific locations so
that removal costs are kept to a minimum. (Ord. 02-6, SVIII, Apr. 10,
2002)
8.10.090 Changes in Plan.
Any revision, significant change or deviation in the detailed plans and
specifications after formal approval by the APC shall be filed in duplicate with and
approved by the APC or its designee prior to implementation of the revision or
change. Copies of the revisions or changes, if approved, shall be attached to the
original plans and specifications. (Ord. 02-6, SIX, Apr. 10, 2002)
8.10.100 Determination of Impact Drainage Areas.
The APC is authorized, but is not required to classify certain geographical areas as
Impact Drainage Areas and to enact and promulgate regulations which are
generally applied. In determining Impact Drainage Areas, the APC shall consider
such factors as topography, soil type, capacity of existing regulated drains and
distance form adequate drainage facility. The following areas shall be designated
as Impact Drainage Areas, unless good reason for not including them is presented
to the Drainage Board.
- A floodway or floodplain as designated by the Indiana Department
of Natural Resources.
- Land within 75 feet of each bank of any regulated drain.
- Land within 75 feet of the centerline of any regulated drain tile.
Land where there is not an adequate outlet, taking into consideration the capacity
and depth of the outlet, may be designated as an Impact Drainage Area by
resolution of the Board. Special requirements for development within any Impact
Drainage Area shall be included in the resolution. (Ord. 02-6, SX, Apr. 10,2002)
8.10.110 Disclaimer of Liability.
The degree of protection required by this ordinance is considered reasonable for
regulatory purposes and is based on historical records, engineering and scientific
methods of study. Larger storms may occur or storm water runoff depths may be
increased by man-made or natural causes. This ordinance does not imply that
land uses permitted will be free from storm water damage. This ordinance shall
not create liability on the part of the Town of Ferdinand or any officer or
employee thereof for any damage which may result from reliance on this
ordinance or on any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. (Ord. 02-
6, SXI, Apr. 10, 2002)
8.10.120 Corrective Action.
Nothing herein contained shall prevent Town of Ferdinand from taking such other
lawful action as may be necessary to prevent or remedy any violation. All costs
connected therewith shall accrue to the person or persons responsible. (Ord. 02-
6, SXII, Apr. 10,2002)
8.10.130 Repealer.
All ordinances or parts thereof in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are
repealed. (Ord. 02-6, SXIII, Apr. 10, 2002)
8.10.140 When Effective.
This ordinance shall become effective after its final passage, approval and
publication as required by law. (Ord. 02-6, SXIV, Apr. 10, 2002)
8.10.150 Exempt Projects.
Any residential, commercial or industrial subdivision (major or minor) or
construction project thereon, which has had its drainage plan approved by the
Board prior to the effective date of this ordinance shall be exempt from all of the
requirements of this ordinance. (Ord. 02-6, SXV, Apr. 10, 2002)
8.10.160 Variances, Waivers or Modifications.
The Area Plan Commission reserves the discretionary right to grant variances from;
waivers of; and modifications of the Storm Water Control Ordinance as it
pertains to a specific project. The Area Plan Commission shall hear and approve
or deny any such request for a variance, waiver or modification of or from the
terms of the Storm Water Control Ordinance and may impose reasonable
conditions as a part of its approval. A variance may be approved only upon a
determination in writing that:
- The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety,
morals, and general welfare of the community.
- The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in
the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner;
- The need for the variance arises from some condition peculiar to the
property involved;
- The strict application of the terms of the ordinance will constitute
an unnecessary hardship if applied to the property for which the
variance is sought;
- The approval does not interfere substantially with the
comprehensive plan; and
- The adjacent affected property owners have been notified in writing
of the variance request by the persons seeking the variance.
- Hardship. Where the Area Plan Commission finds that
hardships may result from strict compliance with the Storm
Water Control Ordinance, it may vary, waive, or modify the
requirements so that substantial justice may be done and the
public interest served.
- Conditions. In granting variances, waivers and modifications,
the Area Plan Commission may require such conditions as
will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the
standards or requirements so varied or modified.
- Procedure. No request for a variance, waiver or modification
to or from the express terms of the Storm Water Control
Ordinance shall be acted upon until the applicant has filed
with the Area Plan Commission a certification of substantial
conformity with the Storm Water Control Ordinance and has
filed, published and served on affected property owners a
petition requesting a variance/waiver or modification of a
specific portion of the Storm Water Control Ordinance. (Ord.
