Purposes of Improvement Regulations. The purposes of the improvement regulations in -- eluded in this chapter shall be as follows: (a) To assure high quality public and private improvements, in order that the residents be served by re- liable pavement, drainage and utility systems with low main- tenance requirements. (b) To establish uniform standards for these im- provements, resulting in equitable treatment for all developers. (c) To provide for the inspection of improvement construction by the city. Sec. 24-2_.Constr_uction Standards and Specifications. All public improvements and private site and utility improvements shall meet the minimum requirements for such construction as set forth in the appended Construction Stan- dards and Specifications published by the Office of the City Engineer of Tamarac, referred to hereinafter as "Standards". In the event of any conflict of the regulations included in this chapter with such engineering department "Standards", the regulations included in this chapter shall govern. Sec. 24-3. Plans and Specifications_ Generally (a) All engineering drawings, calculations, plans and specifications for public and private improvements, in- cluding but not limited to; canal or lake excavations, dredging, bulkheads, bridges, culverts, headwalls, endwalls, earthwork (removal or fill), grading, paving (including sub -grade preparation, -1- base and surface), sidewalks, curbs and gutters, curbs, median crossings, guardrails, railings, landscaping, unpaved parking areas, street lighting, street signs, golf courses, storm drainage, water distribution, and sewage collection systems shall be submitted to the City for review by the City Engineer prior to the submittal of the final site development plan or plat to the City Council. Final approval of the engineering documents by the City Engineer is required prior to approval of the final plat or final site development plan by the City Council. (b) Such plans, except for landscaping and golf courses, shall be prepared under the direction of and bear the seal of a professional engineer or architect registered in the State of Florida and shall be accompanied by a detailed estimate indicating unit costs of all construction specified thereon. After all corrections required by the City Engineer have been made, a reproducible copy shall be furnished for his approval. Prints of the approved drawings will be fur- nished to contractors and others by the City upon request at a price sufficient to cover all costs. (c) The work of clearing, grubbing and grading may proceed after the final site development plan has been approved by the City Planning Commission, and, subsequently, a permit therefore has been issued by the City Engineer. Sec. 24-4. Same --Elevations and Bench Marks. A minimum of two bench marks shall be established by the design professional on or adjacent to any project for which elevations are shown on the submitted drawings, which shall clearly show: (a) The datum being used. (b) The location, description and elevation of the bench marks on or adjacent to the project, to be used for 500 vertical control. (c) Cross references with the City bench mark system, designating them by number and location. The City has established a third order bench mark network throughout that portion of the City situated west of the Sunshine State Parkway for the purpose of providing vertical control for the orderly growth of the western portions of the City. A list of such bench marks and their locations is on file with the City building department and the City Engineer, and is available to all interested parties. (d) Bench marks shall be placed on permanent reference monuments or equally stable objects that are easily recognized, easily found and not likely to move. Sec. 24-5. Bond -- Generally (a) As a condition of approval of the final site development plan or plat, the City Council shall require, prior to the issuance of any permit, payment of all required fees and the submittal of the required bond. The developer shall post a bond with the City in the amount of one hundred twenty-five percent of the itemized estimated cost of all required on -site and off -site improvements, including but not limited to those listed in section 24--3(a) for which engineering drawings, calculations, plans and specifications are submitted or required and such other improvements as the City Council has determined are necessary for the health, safety or welfare of the City residents. This bond shall be cash, irrevocable bank letter of credit, cashier's check or other negotiable instrument, or a surety bond written by a company listed in the latest revision of Circular 570, "Surety Companies Acceptable on Federal Bonds." All bonds shall be approved by the City Attorney who may in reviewing said bond, -3- require such terms and conditions as he deems necessary for the protection of the City. The bond shall guarantee the completion of all required improvements in accordance with the approved designs, plans, drawings and specifications referenced therein and within a time period as determined by the City Engineer following the Council's approval of the final plat, site development plan or other requirements. Said bond shall remain in full force and effect until such time as: (1) The work covered thereby has been inspected by the City Engineer and he has submitted a favorable written recommendation. (2) The certified itemized actual cost of all improvements has been submitted. (3) Any additional fees due the city have been paid. (4) The work has been accepted by resolution of the City Council in which the previously accepted "as -built" documents are specifically referenced by job title and date. (5) A substitute warranty bond, acceptable to the city attorney, (described in paragraph (b) below) has been received by the city clerk. In lieu of the substitute bond, the original surety performance bond may contain a provision which reduces its value to twenty-five percent of the actual cost of the afore - stated improvements and brings it into compliance with the other conditions of the warranty bond, as set forth in Par- agraph (b) below. (b) Following the acceptance of the work covered by the completion bond required in (a) above, and prior to its release, the developer shall post a substitute bond acceptable -4- to the city attorney, which may be a surety bond (written by a company as stated above) cash, irrevocable bank letter of credit, cashier's check or other negotiable instrument, with the city in the amount of twenty-five percent of the actual cost of the aforestated improvements. In the event the actual cost of the aforestated improvements exceeds the estimated cost, the fee schedule set forth in Section 24-11 shall be adjusted accordingly. This substitute bond shall serve as a warranty against all insufficiencies in design, workmanship and materials included in the accepted improvements and "as -built" documents that are discovered within one year of the date of initial acceptance of said improvements by the City Council. The city engineer shall reinspect the improvements within one year after their initial acceptance and report the in- spection results to City Council. If found acceptable, City Council shall, by resolution, approve the final acceptance of the improvements and the bond shall be released. Copies of typical bond forms are available in the City Clerk's office. The bond requirement for on -site improvements is not applicable to single-family detached homes. Sec. 24-6. Record Drawings. (a) The improvement bond(s) which insure con- struction shall not be released until the City Engineer has approved the final "as -built" record drawings. The developer shall engage the services of a registered land surveyor or the developer's design professional to prepare "as -built" record drawings of the improvement which shall clearly indicate any deviations from the approved engineering drawings. Two prints and a reproducible copy of the original drawings, signed and -5- sealed by the responsible professional, together with a transmittal, in which he certifies that the improvements, "as -built", comply with applicable ordinances and will func- tion as designed, shall be completed and delivered to the City Engineer. The record drawings shall clearly show at least the details listed in the City "Standards". The City Engineer shall waive the requirement for the location of a sewer service lateral or water service if a structure is connected to said lateral or service line. (b) Storm Drainage Record drawings shall include: (1) Length of pipe runs from center of structure to center of structure and size and type of pipe. (2) Type and size of each structure and its location with reference to property lines and the street centerline. (3) The lowest rim elevation and invert elevations of all lines within each structure. The above noted "as -built" drawings shall be pro- vided to the City Engineer and his approval must be obtained prior to placement of the limerock base course of the pave- ment, In the event that the City Engineer shall find any or all of the work to be unacceptable, then it shall be the responsibility of the developer to correct said unacceptable work and provide new "as-builts" of that portion of the work, which shall have been approved by the City Engineer prior to the placement of the lime -rock base course of the pavement at no expense to the City. (c) Pavement Record drawings shall include: (1) Finish grades at the edge of finished rock and centerline at longitudinal intervals of not more than 50 feet, street intersections and all changes in gradient. (2) Northerly rim elevations of all sanitary sewer manholes within areas to be paved. The above -noted "as -built" drawings shall be pro- vided to the City Engineer and his approval must be obtained prior to the placement of the asphaltic surface course of pavement. In the event that the City Engineer shall find any or all of the work to be unacceptable, then it shall be the responsibility of the developer to correct said unacceptable work and provide new "as-builts" of that portion of the work, which shall have been approved by the City Engineer prior to the placement of the asphaltic surface course at no expense to the City. Sec. 24-7. Improvement Permit -- Required. Following approval of the site development plan by City Council, the owner of the land being developed or his bona fide agent is required to take out an improvement permit with the City for all land improvements occurring on public or private property. No improvement, alternation or redesign of any existing public or private property or facility shall be permitted without a City improvement permit issued for such specific improvement. Said permit shall be visibly dis- played at all times during construction. Sec. 24-8. Same - Application; fee genEE111Z An application for an improvement permit shall be filed with the City. There shall be an application fee commen- surate with the type of improvement requested and at the rate -7- as set by the City Code. Where inspection fees are called for in this chapter, application fees paid pursuant to this section shall be applied in reduction of such inspection fees. Each application shall be accompanied by a plan indicating the exact nature of the desired improvement. The location of all improvements must be approved by the City Council Resolution prior to the issuance of any permit for such improvements. Said application and review fee shall entitle the applicant to a complete set of instructions and the Site Development Plan Procedures.Ordinance, the Subdivision, Public and Private Site Development Improvements Ordinance and the Platting Ordinance. Sec. 24-9. Same -- Acceptance constitutes acceptance of Certain Obligations; Tennination of Obligations. The acceptance of the improvement permit by the applicant shall constitute his legal acceptance of all the obligations appertaining thereto, and such applicant shall be held responsible for fulfilling all the requirements as re- corded.. Such obligations shall terminate only upon the final acceptance of the improvements by the City Council following recommendation of the City Engineer for said acceptance and for the release of appropriate bonds. Sec. 24-10. Same -- Effect on Building Permits and Certificates of Occupancy. The Chief Building Official shall be responsible that no building permits shall be issued until the necessary off -site improvement permit has been issued. When a develop- ment plan indicates eight (8) or more principal buildings are to be constructed, no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of their building permits may be issued until the required public improvements (except for sidewalks) have been completed x and their "as -built" record drawings have been approved by the City Engineer. Temporary, partial or permanent certificates of occupancy may be issued at the option of the Chief Building Official, provided, however, the improvements (other than buildings) to be utilized by the occupants shall have been deemed acceptable by the City Engineer. Sec. 24-11. Inspection Fees. (a) The cost of permit and inspection fees for improvements covered by this chapter shall be paid in ac- cordance with the following fee schedule: Canal excavation and bulkheads, bridges, seawalls, endwalls, headwalls, water distribution, site preparation and Beauti- fication .................... 3% of construction cost All other improvements...... 4% of construction cost (b) The minimum total fee to be assessed any improvement project for which a site development plan is re- quired shall be four hundred dollars. (c) All inspection fees shall be paid to the City prior to the issuance of permits for the site work. (d) The permit and inspection fees shall be credited to a separate account and plan review and engineering inspection expenses shall be paid from this account. (e) Notwithstanding the fee schedule set forth in this section, in the event additional inspections are required by the City Engineer because the work of which an inspection has been requested is incomplete, obviously de- ficient or uncorrected at the time the contractor has re- quested an inspection, or plans approved by the City Engineer are not available at the jobsite, or a correct permit is not visibly displayed, the contractor shall pay an additional -9- fee of twenty dollars before any reinspection is made. Written records of each requested inspection and reinspection shall be placed in the project's master file. Sec. 24-11.1. Ex iration of Permit. Permits issued pursuant to these regulations shall be deemed in full force and effect until such time as the work covered thereby is complete. However, if work covered by said permit has not commenced within three months from the date of issuance of said permit, or has been commenced and then suspended or abandoned for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of the most recent inspection, said permit is revoked and shall become null and void. Work shall be considered to have commenced and be in active progress when, in the opinion of the City Engineer, a full complement of workmen and equip- ment is present at the site to diligently incorporate materials and improvements into the project. When a permit has been revoked, all fees paid shall be forfeited and any work started after such revocation shall be subject to all the requirements and fees for a new permit as provided herein. Sec. 24-12. Enforcement of Cha ter• Violations. It shall be the duty of the City Engineer and/or the Chief Building Official strictly to enforce all of this chapter.

All pavements within the City shall consist of a stabilized, compacted subgrade, an eight -inch (compacted thickness) number 2 limerock base, a prime coat (unless the base has received no traffic during its curing period), and a one -inch (compacted thickness) type S-1 asphaltic concrete surface course. A prime coat is re- quired on all public streets, but may be omitted on private driveways and parking lots if no traffic is permitted on their limerock base material. Tack coat shall be applied wherever a prime coat has lost its adhesiveness as a result of being covered with dust or other deleterious material. (b) Carbonate and ^density tests. As the place- ment of the limerock base proceeds and the developer indicates the area is compacted and ready for testing (carbonate and density tests), the City Engineer shall specify locations (at approximately 500 foot intervals) for testing and the tests to be conducted. The City will select and pay the testing laboratory for carbonate and density tests authorized by the City Engineer. Retesting will be required when results indicate non-conformance with these requirements. All tests shall be at the expense of the subdivider or developer, and 1 11 1 payment for such tests shall be made prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy or release of the improvement bond, whichever comes first.

Storm drainage system --General A storm drainage system, including all rights -of -way, easements and necessary construction, shall. be provided, at no cost to the city, which will drain the entire area being developed into positive outlets that can legally be maintained in permanent use, into retention basins adequate for a ten-year storm, or into an existing public drainage system of adequate capacity which discharges into such positive outlets. Sec. 24-17. Desi n of storm drainage system. The storm drainage system required for land development shall be designed in accordance with the engineering principles accepted by the Florida State Department.of Transportation and in conformance with the following design criteria: (a) Rational formula (Q=c i A) shall be used. (b) Coefficient of runoff shall be 0.9 for impervious areas and from 0.3 to 0:5 for grassed areas. The latter shall be used unless the designer demonstrates, by percolation tests or otherwise, that a lower factor is safe. (c) Rainfall intensity shall, be taken from the three-year design storm data. The minimum gutter or pavement gradient shall be 0.005 ft. per ft. The critical time of concentration shall be no more than 15 minutes, unless the designer demonstrates a longer time is applicable. (d) Manning's "n" shall be 0.013 for reinforced concrete or fully paved or lined corrugated metal pipe; 0.019 for unpaved, helically corrugated aluminum pipe and 0.024 for unpaved, unlined, annularly corrugated pipe. -24- (e) Design water level of the secondary canals into which the outfall pipes flow shall be +7.00 ft. MSL for systems in the C-14 drainage basin and +6.00 ft. MSL for those systems discharging into the C-13 basin. The developers engineer shall submit a copy of his design calculations to the City Engineer for his approval. The City Engineer may permit other design criteria to be used or may require the developer's designer to use criteria other than those given in this section which the City Council may deem necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the public. Inlets, catch basins, manholes, headwalls and other drainage structures shall be of a design approved by the City Engineer. No rip -rap headwalls will be accepted. Sec. 24-18. Materials for Storm Drainage System. All storm drainage materials and construction shall be in accordance with the City "Standards".
