a) Stormwater System Requirements and Restrictions - Chapter 50; Article

Code Enforcement Board · 2026-04-22 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne's Code Enforcement Board is reviewing a case regarding stormwater system requirements. This case involves a property where the installation of artificial turf underlayment has increased impervious area, causing stormwater to flow onto a neighbor's property. The property owner must either remove the unpermitted work to revert to the original approved site plan or apply for a Land Alteration Permit from the City Engineering Department. This permit would allow the modification of the yard with the artificial turf and require a topography survey showing elevations. This review process is currently under review. The corrective actions could involve site work such as grading, potentially underground utility adjustments, and landscaping, depending on the chosen solution. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, grading, concrete, plumbing, and landscaping could find opportunities by engaging early before final plans and permits are issued.
