SECTION 1: FINDING OF EMERGENCY
9
The rains of April, 1979, underscored the vital and immediate
10
need for additional water storage areas within the City of Tamarac. The City
11
has engaged the University of Florida to study drainage in Tamarac and after the
12
staff and City Council have reviewed this study, the conclusion has been
13
reached that a minimun standard for on site water retainage must be established
3.4
throughout the City. Acknowledging the existing hurricaneseason and proposed
15
development, it is imperative that said development be subject to the minimum
3 6
standards set forth herein.
17
SECTION 2: In addition to existing regulations, site plans
1$
considered by the City Council subsequent to the effective date of this ordinance
19
shall show 9125 cubic feet of additional storm water retainage per acre of
20
development below the elevation of 10.0. This additional retention shall be
21
provided in open lakes and canals directly extending from existing canals and
22
lakes or connected to existing canals and lakes by a 72 inch culvert not more than
23
200 feet in length. For the purpose of measurement, each acre of water surface
24
added will be considered as providing 182,500 cubic feet of additional retention.
25
Said acreage shall be computed at the design water surface elevation. Said
26
elevation is to be considered 6.30 MSL. In cases where there would be an undue
27
hardship to provide open canals or lakes, upon the recommendation of the City
28
Engineer, the City Council may accept other methods of providing the required
29
retainage. An undue hardship shall be defined as any situation where the
30
distance between a parcel and an existing canal or lake is more than 200 feet.
31
`
Furthermore, in addition to any other fee, each developer seeking approval of a
32
site plan shall pay a fee of $130 per acre for drainage improvements for each
33
acre of land sought to be developed at the time of approval of a site plan. This
34
fee may be prepaid in which event City shall not charge the developer an in-
creased fee at the time of site plan approval.
