(A) Perimeter and footing drains from buildings existing on or before July 1, 1970 that were legally permitted and connected to a sanitary sewer system in the village prior to July 1, 1970 shall not be required to disconnect from the sanitary sewer system; providing however, that roof waters from the buildings permitted and connected in accordance with this section shall not discharge into any flower or shrub bed adjacent to the building wall nor upon the ground within five feet of the building wall. Where local setback, side yard or rear yard requirements result in the building being located less than five feet from the property line, then the downspout shall be discharged in a manner approved by the local building inspector. The downspout piping used in connection with roof waters from the buildings permitted under this section shall be affixed to the building and installed in such a manner as shall be approved by the Village Manager or his designated representative.
(B) The surface of the ground around such buildings permitted and connected in accordance with this division shall be sloped in such a manner as to provide positive drainage of all roof and surface waters away from the building. The slopes shall be uniform and shall be such that the elevation of the surface of the ground at a point ten feet from the base of the building is a minimum of six inches lower than the ground elevation at the base of the building wall. Where local setback, side yard, or rear yard requirements would result in the building being located less than ten feet from the property line, then the surface water of the ground shall slope away from the building wall at a uniform minimum slope of 5/8 inch per foot and in a manner approved by the local building inspector.
