This ordinance:

2.                     Requires that catch basins or storm inlets are located so that no point of an impervious paved area is further than 300 feet from a catch basin, storm inlet, trench drain or permeable pavement surface with subsurface drainage.

The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:

Part 1. Section 225-4-3-b of the code is amended to read:

225-4. Drainage of Yard Areas and Roofs.

3. NEWLY PAVED AREAS OR PARKING LOTS.

b. Permeable Paving. The commissioner may allow the use of permeable paving as regulated in s. 252-74. For newly paved areas or parking lots, the storm sewer requirement under this section may be waived by the commissioner if adequate drainage is provided. >>Perforated underdrain piping shall be required for the full length of all permeable pavement applications greater than 1,000 square feet where permeable pavement is being used in lieu of a catch basin or storm inlet.<<

Part 2. Section 225-4-3-d of the code is repealed and recreated to read:

d. Catch Basins and Storm Inlets. A catch basin or storm inlet shall be located so that no point of an impervious paved area is further than 300 feet from a catch basin, storm inlet, trench drain or permeable pavement surface with subsurface drainage. Every catch basin shall be connected to a combined sewer and every storm inlet shall be connected to a storm sewer.
