(2) Implemented in the drainage area of the proposed development project to the maximum extent practicable.
(b) Alternative actions may include, but are not limited to the following. All alternative actions shall be approved by the Village Engineer:
(1) Fees, in an amount specified by the Village of Granville to be applied to community-wide storm water management practices.
(2) Implementation of off-site storm water management practices and/or the retrofit of an existing practice to increase quality and quantity control.
(3) Stream, floodplain, or wetland restoration.
(4) Acquisition or conservation easements on protected open space significantly contributing to storm water control such as wetland complexes.
