(a) The Administrator shall be responsible for the enforcement of the Stormwater Management Code and shall not allow any development of land area unless such development meets the design requirements herein. The Administrator shall serve as the principal executive officer for storm water management for the purposes of fulfilling the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency’s NPDES Phase II storm water program.
(b) The Planning Commission shall not recommend for approval the final plat of any development or subdivision over which it has jurisdiction without documentation from the Administrator and the Engineer, that such development or subdivision has been designed to be in compliance with the design requirements herein.
(c) It is the intent of these minimum requirements to account for the effect of stormwater runoff from the development of land so as to minimize the impact on existing and natural drainage systems. While the requirements set forth herein will not stop flooding or the damage caused by flooding, they do establish a basis for design which will:
(1) Minimize the damage and inconvenience of flooding;
(2) Provide drainage systems which continue to benefit their tributary area over the long term;
(3) Minimize the adverse affects of new drainage systems on existing systems; and
(4) Minimize the expense of maintaining the drainage facilities within the Municipality.
(d) The Administrator shall prepare, or cause to prepare, a storm water management plan, required as part of the NPDES Phase II storm water program in accordance with the requirements set forth by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, including all annual updates and amendments thereto.
