concrete, or six (6) inches of lime rock, after
compaction or a comparable material with one (1)
inch minimum asphaltic topping except as other
provided herein.
2. Porous Surfaces. The use of porous parking
surfaces suitable for use on specific sites within
the City of Sebastian and so demonstrated by the
land owner or his designated agent may be approved
by the Planning and Zoning Commission upon
recommendation of the City Engineer, as an
alternative to the surface requirements of sub-
section (1) above, subject to the following

a. Ap lication Re uirements and Su ortive
In. ormation. In addition to other re-
quirements of this Chapter, the application for
site plan approval which incorporates the use
of porous parking or loading surfaces shall
include the following information and/or
requirements which shall be certified by
a Florida registered engineer.
(1) A cross section of the structual
section to be used on the parking area
certified as appropriate based on
natural characteristics of the site,
traffic generating characteristics,
anticipated surface water run-off, and
durability and porosity of proposed surface.
(2) Detailed drainage plan with run-off
and percolation calculations.
(3) Percolation tests in appropriate
areas and location of tests on
site to describe any varied soil permability
conditions present on site.
(4) Location of ground water, date of
soil boring(s) and estimated location of
the ground water table during wettest season.
(5) Soil logs and description of existing
soils on parking area to a depth of five
(5) feet below the bottom of the structural
section or to the water table.
(6) Description of the traffic generating
characteristics of the site including
frequency of use, turnover, and type of
vehicles using surface.
(7) Test profile of proposed construction
material including soil density, stability
of materials and water absorption. The
load bearing capacity of the proposed im-
proved surface shall not be less than fifty
(50) pounds per square inch Florida bearing
capacity or its equivalent for a depth of
not less than eight (8) inches.
(8) Maintenance program shall be submitted
as a written statement and shall be directed
toward achieving and maintainig orderly
and neat appearance of grassed areas in
perpetuity. Such program shall legally
bind the applicant and successors in owner-
ship to the continued maintenance of such
areas including replacement of dead or
unsightly sod or other plant material as
well as the repair of surface damage or
clogging of subsurface base. This legal
instrument shall be submitted in a form

-2-
,e
e
.
()) Commercially marketed porous parking
blocks, or other types of porous pavement
may be approved by the Planning and
Zoning Commission following favorable
recommendation by the City Engineer.
(2) For places of worship or other land
uses generating highly infrequent traffic,
as determined by the City Engineer, sod
may be placed on a stable sub-grade,
upon approval by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Such approval shall be
granted only for projects generating
very limited traffic. Similarly, such
approval shall be conditioned on stipulated
traffic generation rates specified in the
application. Subsequent change in traffic
generation shall constitute grounds
by which the City Engineer may request
review by the Planning and Zoning Commission
in order to determine if the increased
traffic generation rates warrant improve-
ments to the parking surface.
c. Continuing Maintenance. A continuing
maintenance program shall be required to be
carried out by the land owner in all cases where
a porous surface is approved by the Planning
and Zoning Commission. Such maintenance program
shall include maintenance provision cited in
Section 20A-8.5 (E)(2)(a)(8). Violation of
such maintenance program shall be subject
to penalties as provided in Section 20A-l.lO
of this Code.
d. Procedure and Review. Proposals for use
of a porous surface shall be reviewed in accord
with the site plan review procedures described
in Article X of this Code. The City Engineer
shall provide detailed comments concerning such
proposals to the Planning and Zoning Commission
prior to consideration by the Board.
