(A) The Planning Commission in making its determination shall review the final site plan and find the following prior to approval:
(1) Compliance with the requirements of this chapter and other applicable village ordinances.
(2) Compliance with any applicable comments received from reviewing village officials, support professionals or public agencies.
(3) Compliance with other applicable state and federal statutes and standards.
(B) General standards. In reviewing an application for final site plan review, the following standards shall be met:
(1) The site shall be developed so as not to hinder the normal and orderly development or improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in this chapter.
(2) All buildings or groups of buildings shall be arranged as to permit emergency vehicle access by some practical means to all sites. Safe, convenient, uncongested, and well-defined vehicular and pedestrian circulation shall be provided for ingress/egress points and within the site. Drives, streets and other circulation routes shall be designed to promote safe and efficient traffic operations within the site and at ingress/egress points.
(3) Every structure or dwelling unit shall have access to a private street, public street, walkway or other areas dedicated to common use. The arrangement of public or private vehicular and pedestrian connections to existing or planned streets in the area shall be planned to provide a safe and efficient circulation system for traffic within and around the Village of Fowler.
(4) Appropriate measures shall be taken to ensure that removal of surface waters will not adversely affect neighboring properties, the village, or the county's storm drainage system.
(5) Provisions shall be made for the construction of storm sewer facilities including grading, gutters, piping and treatment of turf to handle storm water, prevent erosion and the formation of dust. Surface water on all paved areas shall be collected at intervals so that it will not obstruct the flow of vehicle or pedestrian traffic or create standing water in paved areas.
(6) Secondary containment for above ground areas where hazardous substances are stored or used shall be provided. Secondary containment shall be sufficient to store the substance for the maximum anticipated period of time necessary for the recovery of any released substances.
(7) General purpose floor drains shall only be allowed if they are approved by the Village's Department of Public Works for a connection to a public sewer system, an on-site closed holding tank (not a septic system), or regulated through a State of Michigan groundwater discharge permit.
(8) State and federal agency requirements for storage, spill prevention, record keeping, emergency response, transport and disposal of hazardous substances shall be met. No discharges to groundwater, including direct and indirect discharges, shall be allowed without permits and approvals.
(9) Removal or alteration of significant natural features shall be restricted to those areas which are reasonably necessary to develop the site in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. The Planning Commission may require that landscaping, buffers, and/or greenbelts be preserved and/or provided to ensure that proposed uses will be adequately buffered from one another and from surrounding public and private property.
