(A) Title. This chapter shall be known, cited and referred to as the, “Stormwater Management Ordinance of the Village of Mahomet, Champaign County, Illinois”.
(B) Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to guide developer’s attempts to control the transportation or movement of stormwater so as to reduce the likelihood of damage to property; prevent injury to persons; protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community; and to promote the orderly development of land and water resources within the Village of Mahomet.
(C) Intent. The intent of this chapter is to require temporary storage of stormwater runoff, to control the rate of release of stormwater runoff by implementation of “reasonable provisions” and “in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices”, to provide for adequate drainage of development sites and surrounding areas, and to protect existing agricultural drainage system. Further, it is intended that this chapter complement and coordinate with the Village of Mahomet Subdivision Ordinance and the Village of Mahomet Zoning Ordinance.
(D) Policy. This chapter establishes a stormwater management policy for the future control of stormwater runoff within the jurisdictional limits of the village. Accordingly, a combination of temporary storage and the controlled release of stormwater runoff shall generally be required for all new commercial and industrial developments, residential subdivisions, planned unit developments, and any redevelopment or other new construction, as further defined in this chapter.
