- Proposed Modification to City of Fort Pierce Code of Ordinances Section 17-28 "Design Standards; Stormwater Management; Approvals"
- Submitted For:
- John Andrews
SUBJECT:
Ordinance 18-008 amending Section 17-28(b) of the City of Fort Pierce Code of Ordinances to allow FDOT approved stormwater piping on private property. SECOND READING
SUMMARY:
This department has been plagued with requests from developers and consultants requesting utilization of High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE) or Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe (PVC) as an approved stormwater conduit on private property. This change would provide a cost savings to the developer over the current City required aluminum or reinforced concrete pipe material. Staff has completed research of the FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Design along with reviewing ASTM test results and has determined that drainage pipes sized 36" and under, installed on private property, should be allowed to utilize HDPE Class II piping or PVC piping (meeting ASTM F949 requirements) as long as compliance with the FDOT specifications are observed.
