(A) The degree of protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on historical records, engineering and scientific methods of study. Larger storms may occur or storm water runoff amounts may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that land uses permitted will be free from storm water damage. This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the county or any officer, representative or employee thereof, for any damage which may result from reliance on this chapter or on any administrative decision lawfully made there under.
(B) Knox County or any agency thereof assumes no responsibility, beyond its regulatory authority, for the planning, design or construction of storm water control facilities. It shall be the sole responsibility of the developer to assure that designs are in compliance with the standards of this chapter and that construction will be completed accordingly. It shall also be the developer’s responsibility to assure that all other local, state and federal requirements are met in the completion of site development.
