The City of Maumee recognizes that there may be special circumstances in which it is appropriate and desirable to use alternative, permeable hard surfaced materials in both residential use and, in limited circumstances, in commercial and industrial use locations. The use of the lighter colored materials which will still allow grass to grow in and around them also helps to reduce the "Heat Island" effect that you get from vast areas of blacktop which, in a lot of cases, is only fully used a few weeks out of each year. In commercial and Industrial use locations, these areas would typically be areas that would accommodate this overflow parking for a short period of time each year. In residential use, this could include driveways and permitted RV storage locations. The location, use, and material of any alternative, permeable hard-surfaced area shall be approved at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator. Below are some examples of these materials:
