§ 10-1. General.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The subdivider shall plan all drainage for this project in accordance with the master drainage plan utilizing sound engineering design and the criteria established by the designated engineering review agency.

    (b)

    No individual, partnership, or corporation shall deepen, widen, fill, reroute or change the location of any existing ditch, stream, drain or drainage canal without first obtaining written permission from the designated engineering review agency.

    (c)

    Whenever any stream or improved surface drainage course is being subdivided, the subdivider shall dedicate an adequate right-of-way along each side of the stream as determined by the designated engineering review agency.

    (d)

    Off-site drainage requirements shall be established by the designated engineering review agency. The subdivider shall be required to construct to the ultimate finished width, but only to a depth sufficient for his subdivision unless the off-site improvements are in or near the construction stage. Sufficient right-of-way, however, must be dedicated for future enlargement.

    (e)

    When new drainage channels are constructed or existing drainage channels (originating within the subdivision) are substantially altered, the subdivider shall install either approved conduit or concrete lining.

    (f)

    Storm drainage shall be located within the street right-of-way except where it is located in servitudes to facilitate outfall needs or for subdivision interconnections.
