To the extent possible, all subdivision retention requirements shall be accommodated in the least number of ponds or dry areas. One large pond or area shall be preferred to a series of smaller ponds or areas. All retention areas shall be placed in a common area under the responsibility of a lot owner’s association for the subdivision in which they are located. In no case shall subdivision retention ponds be dedicated to the city, however, the covenants outlining responsibility for the ponds shall provide the city with the authority to both require and complete necessary maintenance.
