New Development
This Section works closely with the Divisions of Planning and Sanitary Sewers to ensure that new stormwater
facilities, sanitary sewers, and roads are constructed to the community’s standards. The New Development
staff employs the requirements of the Engineering Manuals,
the Subdivision Regulations,
and the Zoning Ordinance
to monitor residential and commercial development for compliance. Other responsibilities of this section include:
- Evaluating the effects of development on floodplains
- Advising the Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment on engineering issues related to new development
- Ensuring that erosion control and proper lot drainage are maintained during construction
- Management of the Surety Account
Attached are the latest editions of the
LFUCG Standard Drawings
for construction of storm sewers, sanitary sewers, streets and roads in Lexington-Fayette County. These drawings are to
replace any and all other standard drawings previously issued by the Division of Engineering. These drawings became
effective February 2000. Any project dedicated to public use must comply with or contain references to these
Standard Drawings or revisions thereof where applicable.
Curb Box Inlets
With approval of the Design Engineer for new developments, straight tops may be used in lieu of radial tops for 10'
curb box inlets located within a radius. If the straight tops are used, the front corners of the tops should fall
in line with the radius. Under no circumstances should any part of the curb box extend into the sidewalk area.
Introduction:
In December 2000, the Urban County Council adopted the Division of Engineering Manuals. These manuals outline the criteria for design and construction of all future infrastructure within Fayette County. It is the intent of the Division of Engineering to provide developers and engineers convenient access to this material. Please check this site often for amendments.
Manuals: (.PDF)
Note: Some of these manuals are very large files and may take an extended amount of time to download.
