Exemptions are appropriate for certain land use activities that clearly do not generate significant increases in stormwater runoff. Where exemptions are granted under this Section, they shall apply to the requirements for runoff volume control only and do not in any way imply a relaxation of requirements for adequate and proper on-site drainage or the ability of the system to accept runoff from tributary land. The following land uses and developments are exempted from stormwater runoff controls:
(a) Land preparation for agriculture crops, orchards, woodlots, sod farms, and nursery operations.
(b) Land grading or leveling for erosion control under direction of the local soils conservation district.
(c) Land subdivisions for residential purposes with a minimum lot size of five acres.
