§ 153.84 STANDARDS OF IMPROVEMENTS.
   (A)   As provided by I.C. 36-7-4-1403(d), the requirements of §§ 152.35 through 152.40 are incorporated and referenced herein as being the standards by which development plans shall be reviewed by the Commission.

      (2)   Standards. The applicant shall display that the proposed street-block-lot-parcel pattern of the nonresidential subdivision is specifically adapted to its anticipated uses, and considers other uses in the vicinity. The following principles and standards shall be observed:
         (a)   Each nonresidential area or parcel shall be shown and marked on the plan as to its intended purpose. Proposals for incremental lot-by-lot development shall also be noted.

The Council may issue any conditions regarding possible liability of the developer for any damages caused to existing public infrastructure during construction.
         (f)   The Commission may impose special requirements to protect adjacent residential areas from any potential nuisance caused by a nonresidential subdivision, including the provision of extra depth on parcels backing onto existing or potential residential areas, and for permanent landscape buffers when necessary.
         (h)   Non-residential development plans shall include a drainage plan. Such plan shall be approved in advance by the Dekalb County Drainage Board or Steuben county Drainage Board, as the case may be, if a regulated drain is affected by the proposed development.
