GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE Green infrastructure performance standards define the necessary minimum levels for maintaining and enhancing the natural drainage systems in East Clayton Lots to be developed to minimise impervious surfaces (50% max.). Lots may include infiltration devices of various designs and configurations to achieve this objective. Topsoil to be carefully stockpiled for later distribution on the site. Pervious areas of a lot to have a minimum depth of 600 mm. ( 24 inches). All surface parking areas (commercial and business park areas) to include one tree every 8 parking spaces. Street right-of-way with a minimum 30-40 % of permeable surfaces. Swales/infiltration devices to be considered on one or both sides of single family and multifamily streets.
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE CONT D Road edges allow free flow of water from paved surfaces to grass boulevards or filtration swales (side inlet grates, landscaped islands in parking areas, or other). Canopy of street trees (at maturity) cover at least 60% of the street right-of-way. School/Park sites contribute to infiltration of surface water and serve as bird habitat. School/park sites to be 40% covered by tree canopy at tree maturity. Riparian areas preserve the existing vegetation and will be left undisturbed. Recreational activities in riparian areas restricted to passive recreation uses (multi-use corridors outside the ravine protection setbacks). Greenways and multi-use corridors connect areas of public interest or destination points, encourage alternatives to automobile travel within the neighbourhood and provide opportunities for passive recreation.
