(A) All developments undertaken as outlined in this chapter shall be done in such a way as to ensure that storm water falling on a given site shall be absorbed or retained onsite to the extent that after development the rate of water leaving the site shall not be significantly different than if the site had remained undeveloped.
(B) A developer shall not be permitted to disturb the land in such a manner as to create significant water related damages to other landowners in the vicinity by having point discharge creating erosion across land or placing obstructions where floodpeak increases. If the point discharge is high enough to produce erosion, other measures shall be taken to dissipate the flow.
(C) Where it can be demonstrated by the developer that a higher storm water release rate will not be contrary to the purpose and intent of this chapter and where such proposed release rate will not adversely affect properties in the downstream portion of the watershed, the Flood Safety Officer may permit the release to be used as deemed appropriate.
