APPENDIX A Village of Berwyn Land Use Bylaw Page 86 Bylaw No. 601 SITE DRAINAGE EXAMPLES Below are three examples of lot grading to manage storm water on a manufactured home park site. Note that the three lot grading types can be combined in a variety of ways to create a drainage plan that works as much as possible with the existing site topography, thereby minimizing the need to modify the topography. Grading Type A This method is the simplest of all the methods. It provides for a ridge (high point) along the rear lot line, then each lot is sloped down directly to the street, independent of other lots. - Lot grading Type A - all drainage to street, ridge along rear lot lines. Village of Berwyn Land Use Bylaw Page 87 Bylaw No. 601 Village of Berwyn Land Use Bylaw Page 88 Bylaw No. 601 Grading Type B This method provides for drainage to a valley (low point) along rear lot lines. The front portion is drained towards the street. The drainage along the rear lot lines will require an easement to properly handle the runoff. - Log grading Type B, drainage both to street and the rear lot line Village of Berwyn Land Use Bylaw Page 89 Bylaw No. 601 - Valley along rear lot lines Village of Berwyn Land Use Bylaw Page 90 Bylaw No. 601 Village of Berwyn Land Use Bylaw Page 91 Bylaw No. 601 Grading Type C This method is similar to type B except that the drainage runs to side swales or channels.. From the side of this house the water flows back to the rear lot line. - Lot grading Type C, all drainage to rear lot line Village of Berwyn Land Use Bylaw Page 92 Bylaw No. 601 1 De Chiara, Joseph and Lee Koppleman, Urban Planning and Design Criteria, Third Edition, c 1982 by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company Inc., pages 7-30 to 7-33.
