Prior to the issuance of any permit that has a stormwater management facility as one of the requirements of the permit, the applicant or owner of the site must execute a maintenance easement agreement that shall be binding on all subsequent owners of land served by the stormwater management facility. The agreement shall provide for access to the facility at reasonable times for periodic inspection by the public works director, or his or her designee, or his or her contractor or agent, and for regular or special assessments of property owners, to ensure that the facility is maintained in proper working condition to meet design standards and any other provisions established by this chapter. The easement agreement shall be recorded by the public works director, or his or her designee, in the land records. (Ord. 1397.18, § 1 (part), 2019)
