Where possible, the slope of the sewers shall provide a
minimum velocity of 2.5 feet per second.
(5) A note or detail shall show the type of bedding upon
which the sewer pipe shall be installed.
(6) Where possible, a minimum of three feet of cover
from the top of the curb (or road centerline) to the top
of any storm sewer shall be provided. If the depth of
cover to the top of the pipe is less than one foot, C 76
CL 5 pipe shall be used. If the cover is between one
foot and three feet from the top of the curb to the top
of the pipe, C 76 CL 4 pipe shall be used. All catch
basin leads within a street shall be C 76 CL 4 pipe,
including the leads to the manholes.
(7) In general, catch basins shall be located as
follows:
A. At the radius return of street intersections. A
150-foot maximum distance along the street, between a
high point and a corner catch basin, is allowed when
drainage is required to go around the corner.
B. At all low points in streets.
C. At intermediate points along the street such that
there is a maximum of 600 feet of drainage draining from
a high point to a catch basin or from a previous
intercepting catch basin to this catch basin.
A maximum of 900 feet of drainage is allowed from two
directions.
(8) Field catch basins shall be provided at all low
points in easements. Intercepting field catch basins
shall be located such that not more than 600 feet of
drainage runs into any one catch basin other than at a
low point of such catch basin. One thousand, two hundred
feet of drainage is allowed to run into a low point of a
catch basin. Field catch basins shall be located in rear
lot easement swales when such swales changes direction
by more than forty-five degrees.

conform to current Village of Franklin standards and
shall be covered on the plan by a note or on the
profile, where applicable.
(13) For new subdivisions, lateral storm sewers shall be
constructed to provide an outlet for the footing drain
discharge house leads. Extensions of storm sewer
laterals to provide for footing drain discharge only
shall be a minimum of eight inches in diameter on a
minimum 0.4 percent grade with manholes spaced a maximum
of 300 feet apart.
(14) Wherever sufficient grade is available, storm
sewers shall be constructed at a depth adequate to allow
for gravity drainage of the building footing drains.
Where grading is not available to allow for gravity
drainage of the footing drains, a sump pump shall be
provided with the sump pump discharge connected to the
enclosed storm sewer system. The plans shall clearly
state which units require pumped sump outlets.
(15) A minimum four inches diameter storm sewer lead
shall be constructed from the lateral storm sewer to the
property line to provide an outlet for the footing drain
discharge. The lead shall be constructed at a minimum
depth of three and one-half feet on a minimum of 1.0
percent grade. The materials and methods of construction
shall be in accordance with current Village of Franklin
standards.
(c) Design Standards for Retention and Detention Basins.
Any new development or addition to an existing
development must retain/detain the increased runoff
on-site unless otherwise directed by the Village
Engineer. Acceptable means of retention/detention can be
achieved through standing water in parking areas (to a
maximum depth of six inches) or a separate
retention/detention basin.
The County method of retention basin design, as
available from the County Drain Commissioner's Office,
shall be utilized in determining the volume of retention
required. Basins with orifice outlets will be required
to hold the volume of a ten year storm, while basins
with no outlets will be required to hold two consecutive
100 year storms. Discharge through an orifice outlet
shall not exceed 0.2 cfs/acre.
(1) Minimum specifications.
A. All man-made open storm water retention/detention
basins shall have side slopes no steeper than one
vertical to five horizontal.
B. The basin must be constructed to drain entirely,
unless it is designed to retain a permanent water level
that conforms to the aesthetics of a landscape plan
relating to the surrounding landscape.
C. The bottom of the basin must have stable vegetative
cover or some other approved method of stabilization.
D. A minimum of twelve inches of freeboard must be
maintained with a positive, nonerodible overflow capable
of handling the capacity of a 100 year storm.
E. The minimum grade on the bottom of the basin shall be
1.0 percent, where feasible.
(2) Maintenance agreement. A maintenance agreement shall
be required for all storm water retention/detention
basins.

(a) Submittal procedures. For the Village of Franklin's
approval of water main systems, the applicant shall
furnish to the Village of Franklin a detailed estimate
of cost and three sets of water main plans and
specifications for the system for which the applicant
desires approval. The Village Engineer shall review the
estimate and the plans for conformity to the standards
set forth herein and certify that they are consistent
with the overall utility plans of the Village, after
which the Village Engineer will return one of the three
sets with appropriate comments. After making any changes
requested on the set of plans returned to him or her,
the applicant shall then submit nine sets of revised
plans to the Village for final approval. The Village
Engineer shall then review these revised plans for
conformity to the comments mentioned heretofore, and, if
the changes have been properly made, will transmit nine
copies to the City of Detroit for approval (when
applicable). After City of Detroit approval has been
obtained (when applicable), the copies will be forwarded
to the Michigan State Health Department for a
construction permit.
(b) Design Standards.
(1) The type of pipe and joint shall be in accordance
with current Village of Franklin standards.
(2) All water mains shall be installed with a minimum
cover of five feet below finished grade. Where water
mains must dip to pass under a storm sewer or sanitary
sewer, the sections which are deeper than normal shall
be kept to a minimum length by the use of vertical
eleven and one-quarter degree bends, properly anchored.
(3) The minimum size for Village of Franklin water mains
shall be eight inches in diameter. Gate valves shall be
located in the system such that not more than four
valves need be turned off to isolate any section of
water main. Moreover, sufficient valves shall be placed
such that not more than thirty lots shall be serviced
within such section of water main which can be so
isolated. Also, valves shall be placed so that no more
than two hydrants are out of service at any one time.
Where possible, gate valves shall be located at street
intersections five feet from the intersecting street
right of way line.
(4) Hydrants shall be installed along the water main at
least every 600 feet. In no case shall a house be more
than 350 feet from a hydrant. In commercial or
industrial districts, additional hydrants may be
required. Hydrants shall be installed at the ends of all
dead end water mains. When near a street intersection,
hydrants shall be located fifteen feet from the
intersecting street right of way. Hydrants shall conform
to current Village of Franklin standards.

approval of a grading plan for erosion and sediment
control, the applicant shall furnish a detailed estimate
of cost and three sets of the subdivision and/or site
grading plans. The Village Engineer shall review the
estimate and plans for conformity to the principles set
forth herein, after which the Village Engineer will
return one of the three sets with appropriate comments.
After making any changes requested on the set of plans
returned to him or her, the applicant shall then submit
four sets of revised plans to the Village for final
approval. The Village Engineer shall then review these
revised plans for conformity to the comments mentioned
heretofore, and, if the changes have been properly made,
will retain three copies for the Village records and
return one approved copy to the applicant.
(b) Design Standards. In order to provide effective
erosion and sediment control, practical combinations of
the following technical principles shall be applied to
the erosion control aspects of the grading plan. All
soil erosion control measures shall be in accordance
with Oakland County Drain Commissioner standards and
will require permission from the County, where
applicable:
(1) The smallest practical area of land should be
exposed at any one time during development.
(2) When land is exposed during development, the
exposure should be kept to the shortest practical period
of time.
(3) Temporary vegetation and/or mulching should be used
to protect critical areas exposed during development.
(4) Sediment basins (debris basins or silt traps) should
be installed and maintained to remove sediment from
runoff waters from land undergoing development.
(5) Provisions should be made to effectively accommodate
the increased runoff caused by changed soil and surface
conditions during and after development.
(6) The permanent final vegetation and any structures
should be installed as soon as practical in the
development.
(7) The development plan should be fitted to the
topography and soil so as to create the least erosion
potential.
