1121.05 STORM DRAINAGE.

   (a)    Storm drainage, including drain tile around basements, shall not be permitted to empty into any sanitary sewer. Unless the subdivider complies with Section 1113.02(b), the following shall be required: Where a public storm water sewer is reasonably accessible, as determined by the Planning Commission, the subdivider shall connect with such storm drainage outfall system and shall do such grading and provide such drainage structures, including lateral connections, as may be required by the City Engineer. Where a public storm water system is not reasonably accessible as determined by the Commission, but where the plans for the storm water drainage system of the district in which the subdivision is located have been prepared and officially approved, the subdivider shall install drainage facilities as may be required by the City Engineer in conformity with such official plans.

   (b)    If the subdivision is in an area where a public storm water system is not available, a storm water system shall be so constructed so as to serve the entire subdivision, and such installation will conform to the applicable provisions of the Master Plan when the same is adopted, or until such time as a Master Plan is adopted, according to specifications adopted by Council.

   (c)    Each lot shall have access to one or more curb connection which shall discharge into a common closed conduit which is to be located in the right of way of streets, alleys or easements. In no case shall the Planning Commission approve a storm drainage system which involves swales, roadside ditches, etc., as a means of conveying surface drainage from the site.

   (d)    Unless the subdivider complies with Section 1113.02(b), the following shall be required: When in the opinion of the City Engineer, the natural water course receiving storm sewer discharge is not adequate, the subdivider shall, at his own expense, undertake to give such natural water course the directional and velocity control as may be deemed necessary even though such work lies outside the boundaries of his subdivision. It shall be the responsibility of the subdivider to acquire such permission as is necessary to construct drainage structures, ditches, etc. outside of the boundaries of his subdivision.
