REPORT FORMATS/SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE The following information is to be included as part the submission requirements to be provided to the City of Kitchener – Infrastructure Services Department (Engineering), in order to satisfy the Grading, Servicing, and Storm Water Management (SWM) conditions as stated in the Section 41 Development Agreement. Development review is an essential component to the Site plan approval process. As such, it is intended to:

Complement the objectives of the Official Plan

Conform to the requirements of the Zoning By-Law and other appropriate by-laws/regulations

To ensure sufficient municipal services and on-site facilities

Eliminate or reduce negative impacts on adjacent land uses; and

Provide clear guidelines to help streamline and speed up the approval process Design Guidelines and Specifications The following sections outline various engineering standards, administrative requirements, and information on engineering design for site development. This manual is not intended to be a complete reference for detailed design. Professional design staff must be familiar with applicable standards, specifications, guidelines, legislation, best practices and municipal policies relating to the proposed works. The Engineer providing design services for the site servicing works is responsible for understanding and incorporating all relevant requirements based on current legislation and guidelines as applicable to the planning, design, and construction of all services in Ontario. The following list references key documents that pertain to engineering and landscape design for site development:

10) (Owners Representatives Name) to monitor the site development to ensure all erosion controls are installed and maintained to City requirements. Contractor to comply with the Engineer's instructions to install, modify, or maintain erosion control works.

NOTE: It is the Site Owners’ responsibility to ensure that all sediment controls are implemented and maintained in accordance with the above criteria.


The following additional notes are to be placed on all Grading and Erosion Control Plans: 1) The property owner is responsible for restoration of all damaged and/or disturbed property within the

municipal right-of-way to City of Kitchener standards. 2) If, for unforeseen reasons, the Owner and/or his/her representative must encroach onto private lands to

undertake any works, he/she must obtain written permission from the adjacent property owners prior to entering upon the private property to perform any works. Copies of these letters of consent must be submitted to the Infrastructure Services - Engineering Development Division, prior to any work being performed. Failure to comply with the above is at the property owners own risk.

3) Each Grading and Erosion Control Plan shall bear a note making reference to all other plans included with the SWM Report. Reference should also be made to the SWM Report itself, the date of the report, and the Landscaping Plan (e.g. This plan to be read in conjunction with the Existing Conditions Plan, Site Servicing Plan), Storm Water Management Plan, Landscaping Plan, and the Storm Water Management Report dated ).

4) Where ponding abuts foundations water proofing is required. LETTERS OF PERMISSION If it is shown on the plans that site works will have to encroach onto the neighbouring lands, the City of Kitchener will require letters of permission from each property owner affected by the proposed works. These letters are required to be submitted to the Infrastructure Services – Engineering Development Division prior to receiving approval of the grading and erosion control plan, site servicing plan, storm water management plan, and storm water management report. NOTE: The City of Kitchener maintains the right to require additional information upon request. GRADING STANDARDS The following table is to be used as a guide in establishing the internal grading for the site:

Driveways Optimum gradient 4.0%

Maximum gradient 8.0%

Minimum cross slope where centerline slope is less than 2%

2.0%

Maximum cross slope 5.0%

Emergency Access Maximum gradient 6.0%

PRE-GRADING Pre-grading must be requested by the consultant. Once the erosion and sediment control plan is finalized by the City of Kitchener’s Engineering Division, the consultant will receive consent to begin installing the erosion and sediment control measures on site as per the accepted plan. Once erosion and sediment controls are in place and inspected by the consultants engineer, a certification letter (stamped, signed and dated by a professional civil engineer) must be submitted to Engineering. This pre-grading authorization must be coordinated with Planning staff’s Tree Protection Approval. Upon success inspection by the assigned technologist and Planning staff, Engineering will grant pre-grading on the site. This will allow area/rough grading activities to proceed prior to satisfying all required engineering conditions. This does not grant permission to install any services or pour any building foundations.

TYPICAL GRASSED SWALE DETAIL

0.75m

In areas where the soils have a minimum percolation rate of 15mm/hour, and the swales are being implemented as a storm water quality management feature, the minimum slope may be reduced to 1.0% in some areas. Swales to be designed to convey the 4 hour-25mm Chicago storm and maintain a velocity less than or equal to 0.5 m/s. The treatable flow length must be maximized to provide for proper pretreatment of flows. Check dams should be implemented to enhance pretreatment and provide additional infiltration for baseflow enhancement, where applicable. An apron of no less than 2.0% slope and a minimum width of 2 to 4 meters are required around all building envelopes. Maximum depth of ponding within swale is 0.5m with a max. drawdown time of 24 hours. For further details with respect to water quality swale designs, please refer to the most recent guideline from the MOE.

Optimum side slope 5:1 (H:V)

SITE SERVICING & SEWER CONNECTIONS (AGREEMENT SECTION 3) This section of the guidelines deal with the removal of any redundant service connections and the installation of all new connections to the property, all of which must be addressed prior to issuance of the Building Permit or opening of the facility to public use. A Site Servicing Plan is to be completed which illustrates the location of all existing and proposed storm, sanitary, and water services from the street sewer or main to the property line and from the property line into the site. The Site Servicing Plan must be accompanied by the sanitary and storm design sheets for all of the proposed sanitary and storm sewers internal to the site for Engineering review and approval. Termination of existing service connections and/or installation of new service connections will be completed, at the owners expense, through the current Off-Site Works Process. An application for the termination and/or installation of services and/or inspection fees is to be made to Infrastructure Services (Engineering). Upon receipt of all funds for the service connections and/or inspection fees and completion of the Off-Site Works process, a work order/Off-Site Works Permit will be generated authorizing the work to proceed.

17) Location and size of all easements (existing and proposed). Easements widths must be twice the depth of the service or 5m (whichever is larger) and centered over the services. No structures (as defined in the Building Code) are permitted within an easement. Rear yard access easements must be 0.9m wide.

18) Clear identification of works to be completed, within the municipal right-of-way, by the Developers Contractor (i.e. closing of redundant driveway entrances, curb & gutter replacement, curb cuts, sidewalks, boulevard restoration, etc.)

19) Clearly identify downspout locations and ensure downspouts are directed to landscaped areas, splash pads or infiltration galleries.

20) Identify vertical and horizontal separation between services. Minimum vertical separation is 0.5m and minimum horizontal separation is 2.5m as per OBC. If this separation cannot be achieved a concrete cradle must be used for support to achieve proper bedding compaction.

21) Show all fire hydrant locations. Fire hydrant separation between permanent structures must be 3.0m min. As per Region of Waterloo DGSSMS section B.2.7.5 states that minimum clearance of 0.6m behind, 2.0m to side with port and 1.0m to side without port.

22) All structures must be completely on private property

NOTE: It is the Engineer's responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the existing plan shown on the drawings submitted to the City for review. The City does not guarantee the accuracy of the information presented on any drawings that are obtained from the City, for design purposes.


23) Infiltration galleries with two observation wells must be shown on the plan, including size and over flow and storm connections to and from the gallery. Infiltration galleries must be 5m away from a structure (structure defined under the Building Code).

24) All MH’s and CBMH’s in the municipal or Regional right-of-way require benching as per OPSD 701.021. 25) If proposing a riser the max Modulock height or new section required is 300mm. The Region of

Waterloo DGSSMS section C.3.4 states that Modulok to be as per OPSS 407 and OPSD 704.010. 26) Safety grates are required in structures 5.0m deep or greater. 27) As per Region of Waterloo DGSSMS section B.4.3.5, drop structures shall be provided in accordance

with MOE design guidelines. MOE guidelines require an external drop structure where difference in inverts is 0.61m or greater.

31) Minimum separation between the proposed orifice and oil/grit separator is 5.0m. 32) Through the Site Plan or Committee of Adjustment process if it is determined that a sanitary/storm

sewer or a water main must be extended to service a particular property a MOE Environmental Compliance Approval will be required and all fees associated to the extension must be paid prior to final Site Plan Approval.

33) Each new building that requires a sump pump must provide a storm sewer connection to the street. If a storm sewer is not located on the street, one must be extended if the storm sewer is located within 50 meters from the development. The extension of the storm sewer is 100% the developers cost. A sump pump is required in every new building though the Building Code and a storm connection is required through the Development Manual: “G.2.1.3 Foundation Drains - Foundation drains using sump pumps shall use a ‘gooseneck’ connection and shall be pumped over the foundation wall and connected to the storm sewer connection.”

34) New services are required to be connected to the property if the existing services are undersized, older than 50 years or of a material that is no longer acceptable within The City of Kitchener (ex. clay). The existing services then must be capped.

35) Each property may have a maximum of one water service and one sanitary service. 36) A clean out is required at each bend in the storm or sanitary service if the service is between 100mm

and 150mm in diameter and the bend is within a landscaped area. If the bend is in an area where vehicular traffic is present a structure is required. A structure is required at each bend for services 200mm in diameter and over. No structure or clean out is required for services less than 100mm in diameter.

37) Connections to a sewer less than 200mm in diameter do not need a structure unless it is tapping into the same size pipe. The connection must be a “Y” connection at a 45 degree angle with directional flow above the spring line.

38) MOE guidelines do not permit changes in flow directions greater than 90 degrees in catchbasin manholes.

STANDARD NOTES The following notes are to be placed on all Site Servicing Plans: 1) The property owner is responsible for restoration of all damaged and/or disturbed property


within the municipal or Regional right-of-way to City of Kitchener or Regional standards. 2) If, for unforeseen reasons, the Owner and/or his/her representative must encroach onto

private lands to undertake any works, he/she must obtain written permission from the adjacent property owners prior to entering upon the private property to perform any works. Copies of these letters of consent must be submitted to Infrastructure Services – Engineering Development Division, prior to any work being performed. Failure to comply with the above is at the property owners own risk.

3) Each Site Servicing Plan shall bear a note making reference to all other plans included with the SWM Report. Reference should also be made to the storm water management report itself, the date of the report, and the Landscaping Plan (e.g. This plan to be read in conjunction with the Existing Conditions Plan, Grading and Erosion Control Plan, Storm Water Management Plan, Landscaping Plan, and the Storm Water Management Report dated .)

4) All work within the municipal or Regional right-of-way must go through the City of Kitchener’s Off-Site Works Process and must be completed by a developer selected contractor solely at the developer’s expense.

Oil/Grit Separator Monitoring Program Guidelines Purpose: The purpose of the monitoring program is to collect data to demonstrate that the Oil/Grit Separator is achieving the desired average TSS removal (70% based on particle size fraction and percent by mass) for flows less than or equal to the design event (5-year storm) and that appropriate maintenance of the unit is being completed. The following will be completed as part of the monitoring program. Routine Monitoring Collection of a grab sample of influent and effluent at least once a quarter (January to March, April to June, July to September, and October to December) during a rainfall event and analysis for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal based on particle size fraction and percent by mass. During each quarter multiple samples may be collected and placed on hold at the laboratory, pending determination of the return period of the storm event (this will allow selection of a broad range of storm events for analysis). Please note that depending on the weather, it may not be possible to collect an appropriate sample (i.e. during winter quarter) if a rainfall event does not occur. Every reasonable attempt will be made to collect samples, however, it is not expected that sampling at night or on the weekend will be required to obtain the quarterly sample. Significant Event Monitoring For major rainfall events (1 in 5 year storm and greater), collection of a grab sample of influent and effluent, to the extent possible, and analysis for TSS removal based on particle size fraction and percent by mass. Some significant events may be missed based on timing of the events. Please also be advised that samples collected from storm events that exceed the design capacity of the oil grit separator (5-year storm) will be reported but not used to evaluate the unit. Reporting Submit a quarterly report to City within one month of the end of the quarter. Report will include sample results for both influent and effluent (including laboratory reports). Report will also identify depth of sediment and oil in the unit as well as any maintenance and/or spills that occurred since the last report. The report will also provide the average TSS removal for monitoring completed to date. Program Reduction/Termination Monitoring will continue for a minimum of 2 years and until a 2-year and a 5-year storm have been sampled and analyzed or for a monitoring period of 5 years, whichever is shortest. The program may be reduced to annual monitoring after 2 years with City of Kitchener approval. After 2 years of quarterly monitoring and reporting demonstrating compliance with TSS removal and maintenance, the monitoring program will be reduced to include an annual report that will identify depth of sediment and oil in the unit, a minimum of one TSS removal analysis based on particle size fraction and percent by mass, as well as any maintenance and/or


spills that occurred since the last report and will provide sampling results of influent and effluent along with significant rainfall events (1 in 5 year storm and greater), to the extent possible (i.e. events occurring outside regular working hours may not be collected). If the unit fails to meet requirements, site alterations may be required to enable the OGS to meet required treatment levels. If site alterations fail and the OGS still does not meet requirements, the unit will have to be removed and replaced with the original approved OGS. If the initial monitoring report shows a TSS removal of less than 50%, the unit will be removed and replaced with the original approved OGS unit immediately and the monitoring program will end. PRE-SERVICING Prior to the issuance of full Site Plan approval from Engineering, a servicing permit may be obtained from the Building Department with engineering approval. Once the servicing plans are finalized or the technologist assigned to the file feels comfortable with the servicing proceeding to construction and an additional fee to Engineering is paid (as per the current fee schedule under Site Servicing Permit Review), clearance to the Building Department will be given to issue the servicing permit. The Building Department should be contacted for costs associated with the servicing permit. LETTERS OF PERMISSION If it is shown on the plans that site servicing, grading or erosion and sediment control works will have to encroach onto neighbouring lands, the City of Kitchener will require letters of permission from each property owner affected by the proposed works. These letters must be received by Infrastructure Services – Engineering Development Division prior to receiving approval of the grading and erosion control plan, site servicing plan, storm water management plan, and storm water management report.

SITE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT (SWM) (AGREEMENT SECTION 3) This section of the guidelines deals with the SWM requirements to be implemented into the engineering design for each property. In order to satisfy site plan conditions, a detailed SWM Report complete with all

aforementioned drawings, pre and post development catchment maps and a SWM Plan will be required. Listed

below are the applicable studies and policies which dictate the SWM criteria for each development area. The

project technologist assigned to your file will establish the criteria on a site specific basis. General information

that is to be contained within the SWM brief is also provided for your reference.

All developments with a lot area of 0.1 hectares or greater in size are required to incorporate storm water management measures into the site engineering design. STUDIES There are several watershed studies/SWM Reports available for reference purposes. Certain new

development areas may have been included within a registered plan of subdivision. The project technologist

assigned your file can arrange for review of any relevant design information.

The following documents are available for review, in conjunction with any SWM Reports completed as part of a

plan of subdivision, to establish the specific details relating to your development site:

DETWEILER DRAINAGE STUDY IDLEWOOD CREEK MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN LAURENTIAN WEST MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN STRASBURG CREEK MASTER WATERSHED PLAN -SEPTEMBER 1996 LAUREL CREEK WATERSHED STUDY DOON SOUTH CREEK SUB-WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN BLAIR, BECHTEL & BAUMAN CREEKS SUB-WATERSHED PLAN MASTER STORMWATER MANAGEMENT POLICY – JANUARY 2001 ALDER CREEK WATERSHED & UPPER STRASBURG SUB-WATERSHED PLAN UPDATE UPPER BLAIR CREEK FUNCTIONAL DRAINAGE STUDY MELITZER CREEK MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN UPPER SHOEMAKER CREEK WATERSHED STUDY

Reference should be made to the "SCHNEIDER CREEK FLOODLINE MAPPING STUDY", completed on

behalf of the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA), in conjunction with the eleven aforementioned

studies, for supplementary details regarding SWM criteria for those watersheds which are tributaries of the

Schneider Creek. DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR SWM FACILITIES


The City has developed a policy detailing the parameters that are to be incorporated into the engineering

designs for all SWM facilities. Reference should be made to "DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR STORM WATER

MANAGEMENT FACILITIES -AUGUST 1996" for details. In the absence of sub-watershed planning, and for

additional design details regarding SWM practices, the Ministry of Environment & Energy's (MOEE) "STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, PLANNING AND DESIGN MANUAL -1994" is to be read in conjunction

with the aforementioned policy.

PRE-ENGINEERING DESIGN MEETING Infrastructure Services – Engineering Development Division recommends that an informal meeting be held with the storm water management engineer and the project technologist assigned your file in order to confirm the criteria to be applied to the development site prior to commencement of detailed design and drawing preparation. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN This plan will be used to validate the drainage patterns and parameters to be used in the post-development

storm water management modeling.

The following information is required to be shown on this plan: 1) Drawing to be completed in Metric (SI Units) to a measurable scale

9) Property lines and all applicable bearings and distances of each property line

10) Street Names

11) Post-development drainage boundaries and corresponding areas

12) All proposed site surface features such as buildings, sheds, walkways, driveways, fences, surface

materials (i.e. concrete, gravel, asphalt), patios

13) Shade all limits of ponding water, including roofs. Label the maximum ponding elevation. Maximum

ponding depth shall be 0.3m in parking lots or high traffic areas.

14) Sanitary manholes located within the ponding limits are to be fitted with a water tight lid (OPSD 401.050)

15) Location of all flow control roof drains and their applicable flow rates

16) Overland flood route

17) Drainage divides

18) Maintenance access

19) Typical design details for storm water management facilities: orifice installation, flow control structures,

cross-sectional detail through pond, rip rap installation, soak-away pits, oil/grit separators, weirs, snouts,

goss traps, swales

20) Detailed maintenance recommendations

21) Identify the tributary area for each conveyance. STANDARD NOTES Each SWM Plan shall bear a note making reference to all other plans included with the SWM Report. Reference should also be made to the storm water management report itself, the date of the report, and the Landscaping Plan (e.g. This plan to be read in conjunction with the Existing Conditions Plan, Grading and Erosion Control Plan, Site Servicing Plan, Landscaping Plan, and the Storm Water Management Report dated ) .


MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS Your Section 41 Development Agreement, more specifically Section 6, requires that maintenance be provided

(registered on title) for the life of the development. The Owner is responsible to ensure all storm water

management facilities are functioning as designed. To aid property owners in complying with the development

agreement a detailed maintenance recommendation must be included in the Storm Water Management Plan.

The recommendation should include the following: 1.) Inspection of all structures and how often (minimum of once annually).

2.) Immediate repair or replacement of all worn, missing, and damaged structures.

3.) Removal of sediments and how often.

4.) Method of restabilization of all disturbed areas.

5.) Sediment disposal to be accordance with MOE standards.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT DETAILS OIL/GRIT SEPARATORS Spill Potential: any potential for spill external to the building

All fueling areas and loading docks where sediments and contaminants may collect are considered “spill potential” areas and are to be fitted with an accepted oil/grit separator. "Manhole" type OGS units are

recommended. Required total suspended solids (TSS) removal shall be based on particle size fraction and

percent by mass, as identified in Table 4.1 (MOE 1994 Manual).

Snouts are acceptable in loading docks for pre-treatment.

Concrete separators used in areas subject to hazardous materials (i.e. petroleum, etc.) should be provided

with an impermeable/resistant liner to guard against contamination of the concrete unit.

MAINTENANCE ACCESS Maintenance accesses are required to any onsite SWM facilities. A minimum 4.0 metre wide hard surface (turfstone/asphalt) not exceeding 10% grade to allow for maintenance activities. Accesses should be designed

to support heavy maintenance vehicles, with suitable turning radius for construction equipment (suggested

10.0 metre minimum).

ORIFICE INSTALLATIONS Below are typical orifice installation details ranking in order of preference. These drawings are schematic and

subject to detailed design by the engineer.

The minimum size of orifice to be used as an outlet control, without a trash rack, is 75mm for on-line orifices

and 90mm for cast in place orifices. Orifices less than 75mm must be located within a perforated riser or trash

rack that has smaller openings than the required orifice diameter.

ORIFICE DETAIL #3- UNDER GRATE ORIFICE PLATE

SOAK-AWAY PITS/INFILTRATION TRENCHES Soak-away pits/infiltration trenches are to be incorporated into the storm water management design where the geotechnical report indicates the subsurface soils have a minimum percolation rate of 15mm/hr. The geotechnical report must be submitted to Engineering for this verification. Volumes are to be infiltrated and trench configurations are derived from the area watershed study or the approved storm water management report completed as part of the subdivision and/or the most recent guideline from the MOE regarding storm water management. The volume of the gallery will be designed to hold the 25mm storm over the entire proposed roof area. Please refer to the project technologist assigned to your file for further information. In order to assess feasibility of infiltrating roof runoff, boreholes or test pits must be drilled/excavated (minimum of 5.0m below grade). A geotechnical analysis of the site soils must be conducted by a licensed Engineer specializing in geotechnical appraisals (see section on SWM Reports for further details regarding geotechnical information). An infiltration cross section detail is required. All soak-away pits/infiltration galleries are to have a minimum of two observation wells (for inspection/maintenance purposes). A minimum cover of 1.2m is required for all infiltration facilities to protect against frost penetration. A minimum of 1.0m is required for separation from the bottom of the infiltration facility to the high ground water level. The high ground water level must be identified on the detail. All soak-away pits/infiltration galleries must have an overflow system. See detail below for an example of a typical well configuration.

CROSS SECTION A-A

OBSERVATION WELL DETAIL

GEOMETRY WILL VARY WITH INDIVIDUAL DESIGNS.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT REPORT Most developments will require a SWM report or design brief to be read in conjunction with the design drawings. Reports are to be bound with a pocket at the rear for insertion of plans. The following information is required to be incorporated into all storm water management reports.

1) Name of the project, the municipal address, and date of the report to be shown on the front cover. 2) A summation of the selected criteria along with references to governing documents and back ground

reports researched. The City of Kitchener does not allow sites to discharge to full storm capacity based on the municipal design sheets. This is because the entire area of flows coming into that storm pipe is unknown. There is also no real-time storm flow data available to confirm existing capacities. Individual sites must adhere to the sub watershed requirements in the specific area.

3) The Geotechnical report should contain the following information; borehole/test pit logs (minimum of three boreholes or test pits, minimum depth 5.0m); water table elevation, soil types, hydrologic soil group along with percolation rate of predominant soil type (mm/hr) and how the curve number (CN) was determined (surface characteristics).

4) Manning's 'n' for impervious areas should be in the range of 0.013 -0.015. Gravel and crushed asphalt to be considered as pavement for post-development modeling purposes.

5) Pond stage-storage-discharge table. 6) Table of “Pre" and "Post" development catchment parameters with corresponding flows. 7) Computer printout of all modeling for quality and quantity control (pre and post construction). All

calculations to be completed in Metric (SI Units). 8) Orifice and weir formula/calculations. 9) Draw down time/calculations. 10) Additional dead storage to be provided within water quality ponds. Calculations for sediment loading

and life expectancy of dead storage area prior to sediments requiring removal.

SOAK AWAY PITS MUST BE LOCATED A MINIMUM OF 5.0 METRES FROM ANY FOUNDATION WALLS OR OTHER BURIED STRUCTURES.


11) Report to be signed and stamped with a Professional Engineer's seal. 12) Pre and Post catchment delineation maps with catchment areas (in hectares) and impervious

percentages. These values should directly correspond to modeling results. 13) Oil grit separator sizing 14) On-site sanitary and storm design sheets showing that all of the slopes and velocities are meeting City

standards. Min sanitary velocity is 0.6m/s and max sanitary velocity is 3.0m/s.

SOFTWARE The following software may be used for hydrologic modeling: MIDUSS, SWMHYMO/OTTHYMO, VISUAL OTTHYMO, SWMM, XP-SWMM, MIKE SWMM, MOUSE (DHI), HSPF/WINHSPF, GAWSER Models used for the site analysis are to coincide with the models used in the Watershed Study. Reports using other models or methods of calculation, not approved by the City of Kitchener, will be returned. The City of Kitchener will not accept the Rational Method. The Rational Method is a very basic calculation with many assumptions built in. The Rational Method provides the designer with a peak discharge value, but does not provide a time series of flow or flow volume. The City of Kitchener must ensure the specific flow restrictions proposed on the site work with the entire modeling system. IDF CURVES

SITE ALTERATION BY-LAW

The City of Kitchener Site Alteration By-law was approved in order to control site alteration activities within the city such as the placing or dumping of fill, the removal of topsoil, and the alteration of the grade of land.

A permit process has been set in place to balance environmental and administrative considerations for site alterations. The requirement of a permit will grant the City the ability to ensure that:

Unanticipated drainage and site alteration is prevented;

Appropriate drainage patterns are maintained;

Interference and damage to watercourses or water bodies is limited;

Water quality is maintained;

The use of hazardous and/or improper fill is prevented;

Erosion and sedimentation is prevented;

Natural heritage features such as wetlands, valley lands, and woodlands and areas of archaeological resources are protected; and

The city‘s natural topography, soils, and vegetative features are considered.

When is a site alteration permit required? Unless exempt from the provisions of the by-law, site alteration activities within the City will be regulated and a permit from the City will be required.

A Site Alteration Permit IS required …

for all properties 0.405 hectares (1.0 acre) or greater;

for all properties not involved in a development process

A Site Alteration Permit is NOT required …

For properties less than 0.405 hectares (1.0 acre);

the installation of a swimming pool, provided a pool permit is obtained;

minor gardening or landscaping projects;

normal farm practices; and,

development that is undertaken with the appropriate Planning Approvals and Building Permits

PROCEDURE FOR OFF-SITE WORKS BY PRIVATE CONTRACTORS

A Developer may retain a private Contractor to complete work (servicing, asphalt, concrete) within the City of Kitchener or Regional right-of-way, by following the steps and procedures provided below:

1. Development Engineering will receive a service connection request through the site development application process from the Applicant. In order for a service request to be considered, Development Engineering needs to receive a site grading and servicing plan stamped by a Professional Engineer showing the proposed and existing conditions for the site works including all existing and proposed landscaping and vegetation. Further, Engineering will require the PSAB (Public Sector Accounting Board) information for all proposed assets for which the City will take ownership. The information for PSAB submission and requirements can be found at http://www.kitchener.ca/en/businessinkitchener/Development_manual.asp. Development Engineering will review/approve the plans and PSAB information to ensure they meet City standards.

a. Please note that if Development Engineering decides that Kitchener Utilities will complete the water servicing

connection or decommissioning within the right-of-way, then the process as in (Attachment 1) is to be followed.

2. After the plans are approved, one quote for all proposed works within the right-of-way including full restoration shall be submitted to Development Engineering. The quote shall be prepared on The City of Kitchener’s Off Site Works Template (Attachment 2) for review and approval by Development Engineering. The quote will be prepared using the City of Kitchener’s standard fee schedule as approved by Council. For a list of all fees please refer to the current City of Kitchener Fee Schedule on the City’s website, www.kitchener.ca. This quote will determine the amount required for the Engineering Guarantee. The quote may be prepared by the Engineering Consultant or the Developer. Both the Engineering Consultant and the Developer need to sign off on the quote for accuracy. Once the quote has been approved by Development Engineering, notification of acceptance for the guarantee will be sent via email to the Consultant and the Developer along with payment instruction as administration, inspection and utility fees will not be refunded. Also included in the email will be the Construction and Inspection Agreement that is to be reviewed and signed by both the Consultant and the Developer. A copy of the Off-Site Works Construction and Inspection Agreement is included in (Attachment 3).

3. The Engineering Guarantee for the Off-Site Works will be deposited and held in the form of a letter of credit or

certified cheque through Development Engineering (this is separate from the Site Development Letter of Credit which is held by the Planning Department for On-Site works). If the Developer is posting a letter of credit they should call the Legal Department (519-741-2200 ext. 7858) in advance to verify that the financial institution providing the letter of credit is acceptable to The City of Kitchener. The Engineering Guarantee will be 60% of the approved Quote. The Letter of Credit/certified cheque will be deposited and held for a minimum of two years from Initial Maintenance Acceptance, until the final inspections are complete and are satisfactory to the City of Kitchener, at which time the letter of credit will be released as the City will take ownership of the infrastructure. The Letter of Credit may be reduced to 30% of the Guarantee after the servicing/asphalt/concrete are placed on maintenance.

4. The Developer must come to The City of Kitchener’s Engineering Division (9

th Floor) to fill out the Off-Site Works

Application Form (Attachment 4). At that time Engineering will collect the Guarantee either by certified cheque or by Letter of Credit. Further the Off-Site Works Construction and Inspection Agreement signed by both the Consultant and the Developer shall be submitted at this time.

5. The Developer is responsible for employing the Engineering Consultant to have a qualified inspector on site at all

times during construction. The inspector’s current contact information is required on the Off-Site Works Application form as the main point of contact in case any problems arise during construction. Further, the Professional Engineer will be required to certify the site after the installation and restoration has been completed.

6. Once the Application Form is completed to the City’s satisfaction, Development Engineering staff will sign the Off-Site

Works Engineering Agreement and sign off any conditions in regards to the site plan process if applicable. After the Off Site Works Engineering Agreement has been executed, Development Engineering will then complete a pre-construction inspection and note any existing deficiencies.

http://www.kitchener.ca/en/businessinkitchener/Development_manual.asp

http://www.kitchener.ca/


7. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits including a Road Occupancy Permit from Transportation Services (contact Stephanie Brasseur 519-741-2200 ext. 7373) or from the Region of Waterloo prior to any work commencing. The Road Occupancy Permit requires both WSIB information and insurance which must be approved by the Risk Management Division prior to issuing a permit. Please be aware that Transportation Services requires a minimum of five (5) days to process a Road Occupancy Permit.

8. For all watermain connections, Kitchener Utilities will complete the tapping of the water line at the watermain.

Kitchener Utilities will complete the bacteriological testing if the watermain is greater than or equal to 100mmø (diameter) and when Kitchener Utilities has completed the installation to the property line. Kitchener Utilities will not undertake the bacteriological testing when the contractor has completed the installation. It is the Contractors responsibility to complete bacteriological testing on services less than 100mmø (diameter). Kitchener Utilities is required to be notified by the contractor at least two (2) days prior to requiring the tapping. Please contact Carlos DaCosta 519-741-2600 ext.4535 to arrange for the tapping.

9. If a property requires capping/abandonment of an existing water service, Kitchener Utilities will complete the work if it

is in a separate trench from other services. If the services are in a common trench then the contractor will complete the capping when installing the new services. Kitchener Utilities will need to complete an inspection of the open trench for the capping prior to backfill. Kitchener Utilities are required to be notified by the contractor/consultant at least two (2) days prior to requiring an inspection. Please contact Carlos DaCosta 519-741-2600 ext.4535 to arrange for the inspection.

10. During restoration of the right of way, cold patch may be used for a maximum of 24 hours at which time hot mix

asphalt will be required for full restoration of the base and surface asphalt. Surface asphalt must be placed within 24 hours after the base asphalt has been placed. If at any time during construction the work zone is deemed unsafe, The City of Kitchener will immediately take the appropriate actions to rectify the situation and charge the Developer for the same.

11. Once the work within the right-of-way is complete and restored, the Developer/Consultant is required to send a letter

to Development Engineering requesting that the new works be put on maintenance and reduce the Engineering Guarantee. Included in the request must be the City of Kitchener’s Maintenance Package Checklist for Initial Acceptance (Attachment 5) stamped by a Professional Engineer that can certify the installation process. Along with the maintenance package all documents, pictures and test results must be submitted for review and approval.

12. Development Engineering staff will complete an inspection and require any deficiencies to be rectified and re-inspected prior to Initial Acceptance and the commencement of the two (2) year maintenance period. If additional inspections are required due to deficiencies, then additional inspection fees will be charged by the City of Kitchener’s Engineering Department. The developer will receive a letter from the City of Kitchener confirming that the infrastructure has been put on maintenance at which time the Development Engineering staff will reduce the Engineering Guarantee to 30%.

13. During the two (2) year maintenance period, any problems arising from the construction and service installation will be

the Developer’s responsibility and the associated costs will be taken from the Engineering Guarantee at the City’s discretion.

14. Upon completion of the two (2) year maintenance period, the Developer is required to send in a request for Final

Acceptance of the works and release of the Engineering Guarantee. The developer should include CCTV video and report for the service laterals in the right-of-way which will be reviewed and signed off by the Engineering Division. Both Kitchener Utilities and Development Engineering will complete a final inspection. Any deficiencies noted, shall be rectified prior to re-inspection. If additional inspections are required due to deficiencies then additional inspection fees will be charged. Once the works are accepted, maintenance of the infrastructure will be assumed by The City of Kitchener. The developer will receive a letter from The City of Kitchener stating the infrastructure has been accepted and the release of the remaining Engineering Guarantee will be processed.

Attachment 1 – Procedure for Servicing by Kitchener Utilities

1. Development Engineering will receive a service connection request via phone, public inquiry or mainly through site development applications. In order for a service request to be considered, Development Engineering needs to receive a site grading and servicing plan stamped by a Professional Engineer showing the proposed and existing conditions for the site works including all existing and proposed landscaping and vegetation. Further, Engineering will require the PSAB (Public Sector Accounting Board) information for all proposed assets which the City will take ownership for. The information for PSAB submission and requirements can be found at http://www.kitchener.ca/en/businessinkitchener/Development_manual.asp. Development Engineering will review/approve the plans and PSAB information to ensure it meets City standards.

2. After the plans are deemed acceptable, Engineering will prepare a quote for the proposed works in the right-of-way

including all restoration costs. The quote will be prepared using the City of Kitchener’s standard fee schedule as approved by council. For a list of all fees please refer to the current City of Kitchener Fee Schedule on our website at www.kitchener.ca. Engineering will send notification via email to the Consultant and the Developer stating the amount required for the proposed work.

3. The developer must fill out the Off-Site Works Permit Application Form (Attachment 4) in person at the 9

th floor

Engineering Desk (City Hall) and submit payment via certified cheque for the proposed work.

4. Once payment has been received, Engineering will sign off on the applicable site plan conditions for issuance of the

Building Permit.

5. Engineering will then deposit the certified cheque and create a work order to ensure Kitchener Utilities schedules the

work as soon as they can. If the Developer wishes to follow up on estimated timing for the connection he/she should contact Carlos DaCosta 519-741-2600 ext.4535.
