(A) No zoning or building permit shall be issued for any structure or for the remodeling of any structure which does not show the locations for downspout drains, driveway drains and storm water drains, from point of collection to the point of disposal, in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(B) All downspout drains, driveway drains and storm water drains shall be connected to storm sewers where and when it is, in the opinion of the Building Inspector, reasonable to do so, but in no case is any storm drain or sewer to be connected to a sanitary sewer.
(C) Where it is impractical to tie or connect the house storm drain system directly to a storm sewer, the storm water shall be carried underground in pipe to be disposed of in the gutter of the public street abutting the lot on which construction or improvement is taking place. If it is necessary to cut the curb to place storm drains so that storm water will empty into the public street gutter, the curb shall be patched and grouted in a clean, workmanlike manner acceptable to the Building Inspector and at the cost of the owner or contractor.
(D) If storm water cannot be disposed of in a public storm sewer or street gutter, the storm water shall be carried in pipe into the back yard to a point approximately equidistant from the two side lot lines, the rear lot line, and the rear line of the structure. No storm water shall be discharged toward or in the immediate vicinity of a property line. The termination of the property line shall be marked so that during final inspection the Building Inspector may approve or order changes in same.
(E) The owner and the contractor shall in all instances do and perform all work necessary to prevent or to minimize erosion of land as directed by the City Engineer.
(F) In any instances where any storm water not being discharged as described herein from any existing or new structure shall cause damage or loss to any public lands or structures, the damage or loss shall be repaired or replaced by the owner of the property from which the storm water came. All costs shall be borne by the owner and the storm water drain system shall be repaired in accordance with all provisions of this and any other applicable section.
