Municipal Engineering: Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a stormwater plan to install a shed or garage at my house?
Each municipality has a stormwater management ordinance that mandates how the stormwater runoff from a building or hard surface must be managed. The purpose of the systems installed is to make it so there is no more stormwater runoff from your property than there was before the building was built.
What are the zoning restrictions for developing my property?
Zoning restrictions vary from municipality to municipality and zoning district to zoning district. FCE will evaluate your specific project to determine any development restrictions and identify any needed relief from the zoning ordinance and assist you in the zoning approval process.
Contact FCE, we can help you determine this and the best use for your property.
