emphasize the use of the natural drainage
system with the following priorities listed in
descending order:
a. Minimize impervious surfaces from
building coverage and vehicle use area.
b. Reduce the rate of stormwater runoff and
the amount of stormwater pollutants
through the introduction of vegetated
swales in lieu of storm sewers and
through the introduction of depressional
stormwater storage (natural topographic
e depressions and wetlands) .
c . Reduce the rate of stormwater runoff and
the amount of stormwater pollutants by
providing for an increase in the amount
of infiltrate runoff onsite (maximizing
the connection between impervious
surfaces and vegetated pervious surfaces
before runoff reaches a major conveyance
system) .
d. Reduce the rate of stormwater runoff and
the amount of stormwater pollutants by
providing stormwater detention, designed
to increase infiltrate runoff on site .
e . Utilize storm sewers to provide necessary
stormwater conveyance and to prevent
nuisance conditions in situations where
other drainage measures are not practical
or reasonable .
2 . Stormwater / Water Quality Management Design
Criteria. Stormwater and water quality
management shall meet the following design
criteria :
a. For the design of detention basins,
Bulletin 70 100 year, 24 hour rainfall
depth of 7 . 58 inches and Huff Type III
distribution shall be used.
b. Detention storage may be located "on
line" and at a minimum shall be equal to
the estimated existing flood plain
storage plus the existing estimated
wetland storage plus storage needed to
meet an "off line" release rate of 0 . 15
cfs per acre of developed property.
c . A control structure shall be installed to
limit the 100 year release from the
subject property to 0 . 15 cfs per acre .
d. The developer shall evaluate the
installation of a control to limit the
two year event to a release of no more
than 0 . 04 cfs per acre . The developer
shall install a control to limit the two
year release from the subject property to
0 . 04 cfs per acre .
e . The detention basins shall be designed as
shallow marsh areas, dry basins, or wet
emk ponds as each situation warrants .
Maximum slopes above normal water lines
shall not exceed 3 : 1 . Preference shall
be given to shallow marsh area design.
f . Where feasible, the developer can opt to
utilize modified urban road cross
sections (curb and gutter, but no storm
sewer trunk lines) and open swale
drainage may be utilized along with the
other appropriate "best management
practices" .
g. The developer shall establish the
stormwater control features as the first
task of mass grading. These features
will assist onsite soil erosion and
sedimentation control efforts . It is
imperative that a stringent soil erosion
and sedimentation control program be
undertaken during the development of the
site .
h. The developer shall submit all stormwater
management designs for review by the City
Engineer for consistency with these
criteria.
i . The existing wetlands on the site shall
be defined in accordance with the
criteria of the Corps of Engineers and
the National Resources Foundation
Service . Existing flood plain shall be
defined in accordance with the criteria
of the Illinois Department of Natural
Resources, Office of Water Resources .
3 . Drainage and Water Retention Lakes.
Development of the Property is intended to
achieve a high degree of water management
through the use of internal storm sewers,
vegetated swales, water detention ponds, and
water retention lakes . A drainage plan,
meeting the storm water run off requirements
of the Kane County Storm Water and Floodplain
Ordinance, as adopted by Elgin, shall be
submitted for the subdivision as part of the
Final Engineering Plan Review Process . This
drainage plan must addresses : Internal Site
Drainage, Off Site Drainage coming onto site,
and Drainage Flows leaving the site .
The drainage system, as constructed
during the development stages of the property,
shall be designed to conform with the City of
Elgin' s standards and shall provide central
stormwater retention or detention areas .
These retention or detention areas shall be
designed to accept the majority of increased
runoff from the developed area and meter the
flow as it leaves the property at the existing
rate of runoff . Vegetated swales and storm
sewers shall be constructed to convey the
storm runoff to the detention or retention
areas . Easements shall be established to
provide access to the detention or retention
areas by all zoning lots .
The basic concept for individual zoning
lot drainage is to provide storm sewers as
well as open vegetated swales, with downstream
zoning lots providing capacity for upstream
zoning lots in these storm sewers and swales
that shall be constructed in easements
intended to be used for upstream zoning lots .
Subsequent development of storm sewers and
swales on zoning lots shall relate to the
existing network. Each zoning lot that is
developed must be coordinated into the then
existing drainage network and plan.

diligently proceed to correct such violations
that may exist .

and appurtenances thereto within 14 calendar
days of the date of application, as may be
practical .
The city shall act on each application
for a building permit for shell , plumbing,
electrical, and mechanical improvements within
21 calendar days of the date of application,
as may be practical .
If the application is disapproved, the
city shall provide the applicant with a
statement in writing specifying the reasons
for denial of the application, including
specifications of the requirements of law
which the application and supporting
documentation fail to meet . The city shall
issue such building permits upon the
applicant ' s compliance with the requirements
of law so specified.

construction of some or all components of a
building or other structure on the property
shall be subject to review or approval by the
Planning and Development Commission, Zoning
and Subdivision Hearing Board or the City
Council , except upon the appeal of a denial of
such application pursuant to the procedures
set forth in the Ordinances and Regulations,
including the Building Code .
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to
the provisions of Chapter 21 . 04 , Soil Erosion
and Sedimentation Control, of the Elgin
Municipal Code, as may be amended, and prior

occupancy permits within 2 working days of
application therefore or issue a letter of
denial within said period of time informing
the applicant specifically as to what
corrections are necessary as a condition to
the issuance of an occupancy permit and
quoting the section of the Ordinances and
Regulations of Elgin relied upon by Elgin in
its request for correction, as may be
practical .
Notwithstanding any provisions contained
in the Ordinances and Regulations of the city,
the city shall grant temporary occupancy
permits for facilities which lack only items
which are not complete due to weather
conditions and/or installation of street
lights, provided that all other requirements
for such temporary occupancy permits are
otherwise satisfied. In connection with the
issuance of such temporary occupancy permit,
the developer shall be required to deliver to
Elgin a bond for the completion of such items
on a timely basis .
Additionally, and notwithstanding any
provisions contained in the Ordinances and
Regulations of the city, the city shall grant
occupancy permits for completed portions of a
building or facility provided those completed
portions of the building or facility meet all
occupancy requirements .
