AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI,
FLORIDA, RELATING TO DRAINAGE; AMENDING SECTION 20 -4.7 OF THE CITY'S LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE TITLE TO REFLECT "MINIMUM
STANDARDS" FOR ALL CONSTRUCTION AND NOT JUST IDENTIFYING MINIMUM HOUSING
STANDARDS; MODIFYING SUBSECTION (C) IN ORDER TO SPECIFICALLY REQUIRE ALL
PROPERTIES TO RETAIN STORMWATER DRAINAGE ON SITE SO AS TO PREVENT
DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD RESULT IN CONTRIBUTING TO OR CAUSING RECURRENT
PONDING ON ADJOINING PROPERTIES OR PUBLIC RIGHTS -OF -WAY; AND ELIMINATING
SUBSECTION (J) ENTITLED "CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY RELATING TO REHABILITATION
AREAS AS NO SUCH CERTIFICATE IS USED IN THE CITY, AND AS REHABILITATION AREA IS
NOT DEFINED; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Request
The attached proposed ordinance amending the City's Land Development Code was prepared by the City
Attorney's office. The proposed ordinance strengthens existing Section 20 -4.7 of the Land Development Code
which does provide that ponding of stormwater must be eliminated through proper filling, elevating, drainage, or
grading of the site. The new additional wording provides that the ponding or run -off into a public street is
prohibited and that the stormwater elimination technique must be maintained by the property owner. The draft
legislation also provides the City with the power to deny a. certificate of occupancy or certificate of use until such
time as proof is provided that the development will retain stormwater on site or that adequate drainage is provided
so as to prevent the development from contributing or causing recurrent ponding to adjoining properties or public
rights -of -way.
The LDC ordinance is a companion to an ordinance adopted by the City Commission at its January 23, 2007
meeting. The intent of this ordinance (Ordinance No. 02 -07 -1903) is to amend City Code Section 10A -45 by adding
specific stormwater drainage data, plans and professionall engineering reports which must be submitted with a
building permit application.
The draft LDC; ordinance also removes Section J which is an out -of -date regulation pertaining to a special
certificate of occupancy for properties in rehabilitation areas. These areas do not exist under current law.
Planning Board Action The Planning Board at its January 16, 2007 meeting adopted a motion by a vote of 4
ayes 2 nays (Ms. Yates, Ms. Beckman) recommending denial ,of the proposed ordinance. Several Planning Board
members felt that the stormwater runoff submittal requirements extended too far by including renovations,
additions and remodeling.
(2)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the first reading ordinance amending LDC Section 20 -4.7 be approved on second reading
with the following adjustments to Section 20 -4.7 (C )(4) on p.2 as shown in bold /underlined:
(C) Exterior Property Areas.
* **
(4) Stormwater Drainage. Stormwater contributing or causing recurrent or excessive
ponding shall be eliminated through proper filling, elevating, drainage, or grading of
the site. The ground shall be graded away from the building and foundation, but not so
as to cause water to drain onto adjoining property ies or to drain excessively onto
public rights -of -way. Property owners shall be required to maintain adequate swales,
French drains, or other mechanisms to ensure that stormwater does not drain onto
adjoining properties or public ri htg s -of -way.
In all new construction, F&modef4w, or addi4ofts any significant addition that results
in changes to the elevation of the site that would result in runoff to adjacent
properties or the right -of -way made after January 31, 2007, failure to comply with
this subsection shall result in the denial of a certificate of occupancy or certificate of
use until such time as sufficient proof is provided to the City Building, Planning and
Public Works Departments that the development shall retain stormwater on site or that
adequate drainage is provided so as to prevent the development from contributing or
causing recurrent pondin to adjoining property(ies) or public rights -of -way.

REHABILITATION AREAS AS NO SUCH CERTIFICATE IS USED IN THE CITY, AND
AS REHABILITATION AREA IS NOT DEFINED; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY,
ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Action: Mr. Morton read the Ordinance into the record. City Attorney Eve Boutsis
provided a brief background summary of the proposed ordinance. She explained that the
proposed ordinance amending the City's Land Development Code (LDC) was prepared by
the City's Attorney's office. The intent of the proposed ordinance is to strengthen the
City's ability to regulate stormwater runoff for all properties . The previous building code,
the South Florida Building Code contained standards regulating stormwater drainage. The
new state -wide code, the Florida Building Code does not provide standards for controlling
runoff of stormwater and the resulting ponding impact on adjoining properties and in
streets. Ms. Boutsis explained that the title of LDC Section 20 -4.7 is first being changed to
Minimum Standards, eliminating the word "residential ", because this section is applicable
to all properties.
Ms. Boutsis explained that the proposed ordinance strengthens existing Section 20 -4.7 by
requiring that ponding of stormwater must be eliminated through proper filling, elevating,
drainage, or grading of the site. The new additional wording provides that the ponding or
run -off into a public street is prohibited and that the stormwater elimination technique must
be maintained by the property owner. The draft legislation also provides the City with the
power to deny a certificate of occupancy or certificate of use until such time as proof is
provided that the development will retain stormwater on site or that adequate drainage is
provided so as to prevent the development from contributing or causing recurrent ponding
to adjoining property(ies) or public rights -of -way.
Ms. Boutsis also advised the ordinance also includes a technical change to Section J which
is an out -of -date regulation requireing a special certificate of occupancy for properties in
"rehabilitation areas" a term which does not exist under State or local laws. Mr. Youkilis
added that other sections of the LDC require the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for
all properties.
Ms. Boutsis noted that the City Commission is in the process of considering a companion
ordinance amending the City Code Section 1OA -45 which addresses development permit
applications (building permits). It adds a requirement that stormwater drainage and
engineering data must be submitted with the application. A copy of that legislation was
provided to the Board members.
Recommendation:
Staff recommended that the Planning Board approve the draft ordinance.
At this time, the Board discussed the item. Chairman Morton inquired if there was any type
of criteria in City Code Section 1 OA -45 which guides how extensive the stormwater data
submission should be. He was concerned that small projects like remodeling or small
additions would require a huge investment in engineering studies before a permit could be
issued. Mr. Davis also expressed concern of the cost that will be incurred by the permit
holder of smaller projects with regards to remodeling. Furthermore, Mr. Davis commented
Planning Board Meeting
January 16, 20073
3
that residents and people that do construction work or remodeling will be affected by this
change because it will cause remodeling to become less possible in the City.
Ms. Beckman indicated that she had no issue with the requirements set forth in the City
Code amendment. She did address the issue; of the French drain and commented that she
preferred to keep the French drain within the property and not for it to be built close to
the swale. Ms. Yates advised that the purpose of a Swale area is to hold runoff water. City
attorney Boutsis indicated that the issue of the French drain will be addressed with the
Public Works department.
Ms. Yates indicated she had no problem with the language used in Section 10A -45.
Chairman Morton did express his concern over the additional cost that will be incurred by
the applicant in order to comply with the stormwater regulations found in Section 10A -45.
Ms. Boutsis indicated that although the City Code amendment item was not before the
Board she would work with the Board and staff to develop more appropriate language. Ms.
Boutsis stated she had no problem with looking into the language and addressing a more
cost - effective approach for the homeowners benefit.
Mr. Perez responded that the cost of these engineering and stormwater studies could be
$3,000 to 4,000. Ms. Beckman stated that she did not have a problem with requiring these
studies because rebuilding is very expensive and could result in runoff.
Chairman Morton opened the public hearing.
Speakers:
NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE
David Tucker, Sr 6556 SW 76th Terrace Opposed
Mr. Tucker urged the Board to take the time to analyze the regulations because the
responsibility of the homeowner regarding all the mechanisms that ensure that the
stormwater does not drain onto other people's properties or right -of -ways. He felt that the
Board needed to be concerned with impervious surfaces.
Bob Welch 7437 SW 64 Court Neutral
Mr. Welch discussed two types of construction. He suggested to the Board that developers
keep the same grade because it allows percolation of water, therefore less retention of
water on site.
Chairman Morton closed the public hearing
Ms. Yates made a motion to amend Section 20- 4.7(C)(4) of the LDC amendment to
remove the word "remodeling" and to add the new wording "not exceeding 25% of
building footprint" after the word "addition ". She also suggested changing Section 20 -4.7
(J) which was titled "Certificate of Occupancy" to show the new title "Reserved." The
motion was seconded by Ms. Beckman. The motion failed of passage by a vote of 3 ayes
and 3 nays (Mr. Davis, Mr. Morton, Ms. Young)
