p C';
SECTION 1. JURISDICTION.
i
The regulations contained herein shall apply to all si b-
divisions of lands within the corporate limits of the City of
Zephyrhills and to all future additions and annexations.
SECTION 2. SUBDIVISION PLATS; PROCEDURES FOR APPROVAL ,
REQUIRED DATA.
(A. ) INITIAL DISCUSSION OF FEASIBILITY AND EXISTING CON-
DITION.
The subdivider, developer or agent of such subdivider or
developer may discuss the proposed development and area with he
City Manager or City Clerk, prior to investment in engineerin
studies, lot and block layouts, surveys and tentative design.
The purpose of this discussion would be to acquaint ti e
subdivider, developer or agent of such subdivider or develope
with existing conditions in the area of such proposed develop
-. ment which might effect the area under consideration; possible
problems in extending utility services, etc. ; existing or pro-
posed zoning and related land uses; requirements for parks,
schools, roads, etc. , indicated by any existing or future gen ral
plan for the area or region; outstanding reatures such as bridges,
streams; major power lines, railroads, .highways; and features
of historic, scenic or environmental value.

This pre-discussion is not intended to be binding on
the part of either party, nor is it intended to reduce the
subdivider or developers responsibility for a full investiga-
tion of all the conditions which might effect this subdivision
or whereby his subdivision might effect the surrounding area.

SECTION 4. UTILITY REQUIREMENTS.
(A. ) DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS .
.(1. ) SCOPE:
10.

within the subdivision, including lots, streets, alleys and
other areas, must be suitably drained. In addition, where
drainage runoff from outside the subdivision passes over or
through areas of the subdivision, such runoff shall be included
in the drainage system design. Such system should be designed
for long life and shall be suitable for low cost maintenance by
normal maintenance methods.
(2. ) HYDRAULIC DESIGN CRITERIA:
(a. ) Rainfall and Runoff .Criteria :
Such system shall be designed for "design floods" re-
suiting from rain storms of the following expected frequencie
or greater.
(1. ) Twenty five (25) year rainfall interval for ma j r
drainage ways (over one (1) square mile drainage area) .
(2. ) Five (5) year rainfall interval for underground
drainage through storm sewers.

prising the basin. The rational formula or other methods acc pt-
able to the City shall be employed.
(3'. ) HYDRAULICS. OF CURB AND GUTTER- CONSTRUCTLONs

(5. ) HYDRAULICS OF DRAINAGE STRUCTURE :
Drainage structures such as bridges, box culverts, head-
walls, dams, weirs, spillways, ',bulkheads and other structures
shall be designed hydraulically and structurally in accordance
with good accepted engineering practice. The effects on adjacent
channels and structures shall be considered. Foundations or
other supports or anchoring methods shall be adequate.
(6. ) DRAINAGE OUTFALLS:

are both positive and adequate.
Drainage wells, seepage basins or underdrains shall not
be accpted as positive outfalls.
(7. ) HYDRAULICS OF MINOR STREAMS, CANALS, DITCHES AND
SWALES :
Open channels other than major waterways may be defined
as minor streams, canals, ditches and 'swales. Such open channels
shall be designed in accordance with good accepted engineering
practice adapted to local conditions. The design shall provide
that the channels will not overflow their banks at design flood
conditions. Cross-sectional areas and hydraulic gradients shall
12.
it
• �� 1 . .• � . , . . _ . . .
be such that design velocities shall not result in solid scouring
for the soil and/or turf conditions reasonably anticipated.
Mean velocities greater than three (3) ft./sec. shall be con-
sidered excessible unless permanent channel lining or other suit-
able protection is employed.
(8. ) . MAJOR • WATERWAYS :
Improvement or establishment of major canals is of suc
significance to the City and County that the design of each
such improvement or establishment proposed shall be developed s
a separate hydraulic problem. Engineering data, criteria and
suitable calculation shall be submitted to the City prior to
approval of construction plans. Design to comply with Standar s
adopted by the City.
(9. ) DRAINAGE CONNECTION AND INTERSECTIONS :
Drainage connections to drainage ways, and intersectin
and. conveying drainage ways shall be suitably designed and
aligned to provide effective erosion and silting control, subj ct
to the approval of the City.

Culvert pipe shall be reinforced concrete pipe, asphal
coated corrugated metal pipe or aluminum pipe. Culvert pipe n t
subjected to wheel traffic loads may be of non-reinforced con-
I I

` 7
conforming to specifications of AASHO. Corrugated metal pipe
may be used if proof that soil conditions will not be harmful
is submitted.
13.
Proposed designs shall be submitted for approval of the
City.
(15. ) VALLEY CROSSINGS IN STREETS :
Design of valley crossings in streets shall be submitted
for approval by the City.
(16. ) UNDERDRAINS :
(a. ) Underdrains for curb and gutter construction :
Where road construction incorporates curbs and gutters,
underdrains shall be installed, where necessary, as determined
by the subdivider' s Engineer. The underdrains shall be eight en
(18) inches outside of the curb and a minimum of eighteen (18)
inches below the bottom of the curb and with a slope to a pos ' -
tive outfall. Where test reports justify the omission of under-
drains, such reports must be submitted with plans.

rights-of-way. A minimum easement of ten (10) feet width shall
be provided for access to structures not placed within street
15.
1: •
rights-of-way, said easement shall be along the nearest lot
lines from the structure to the street rights-of-way.
Where an easement is to be used for two or more uses
such as storm sewer and power lines, the minimum width shall
be fifteen (15) feet.
(b. ) Canals and major waterways : All easements for
canals and major waterways shall include sufficient width for
the ultimate design canal top of bank width plus a minimum fifteen
(15) foot berm on one side of the proposed canal for top of b nk
dimensions under forty (40) feet, and a minimum fifteen (15)

dimensions of forty (40) feet and over.
(c. ) Lakes : When a lake is incorporated within a su -
division and is abutting by lots, such abutting lot lines sha 1• be extended into the lake proportionately encompassing all of
the lake area, and where such lakes exist and are bounded in
whole, or in part, by streets, a strip of land not less than
twenty (20) feet wide abutting such street right-of-way shall
border the lake. Such border shall be proportionately divide
into sub-lots or satellite lots, whose lot lines shall be ex-
tended into the lake proportionately, encompassing all of the
lake area. Such satellite lots shall become apportioned to, nd
as a part of, these lots on the opposite side of the street.
In such cases, satellite lot, except that additional)
they shall carry the lettered Suffix A.
Plats submitted as above shall note a restriction tha
satellite lots can neither be, purchased nor sold separately f om
their parent lot, and that for tax purposes, the two lots sha 1
be assessed as one lot.
16.
It should be noted that any areas involved in satel
lite
lots or the extension of any lot lines into lakes can not be
applied to lot areas for the purposes of meeting minimum lot
area requirements.
Where such lakes are included as a part of the drainage
system of the subdivision, an easement shall be dedicated acr ss
the lake with sufficient width to enable suitable construction
to permit continued use of this drainage way, if the lake is
filled by the private owners.

supply systems to be connected to the City of Zephyrhills.
(2. ) There shall be no physical connection between a
safe water supply and a questionable supply or a sanitary or torm
sewerage system which would allow unsafe water to enter the s Fe
water system by direct pressure, vacuum, gravity, or other means.
