(A) Any building requiring yard space shall be located at such an elevation that a finished grade shall be maintained to cause the flow of surface water to run away from the walls of the building. All grades shall be established and maintained so that surface water run-off damage does not occur to adjoining properties prior to, during, and after construction.
(B) When a new building is constructed on a vacant lot between 2 existing buildings or adjacent to an existing building, the Building Official shall use the existing established finished grade or the minimum established grade, in determining the proper grade around the new building. The yard around the new building shall be graded in such a manner as to meet existing codes and to preclude normal run-off of surface water to flow onto the adjacent property.
(C) Final grades shall be approved by the Building Official who may require a grading plan which has been duly completed and certified by a registered engineer or land surveyor.
