1119.04 DRAINAGE FACILITIES.
A drainage system shall be designed and constructed by the developer as required for the district in which the proposed subdivision is located for the proper drainage of the surface water of the subdivision and each lot as follows:
(a) Enclosed Storm Sewer. An enclosed storm sewer system shall be provided and connected to an existing storm sewer system, drainage ditch or other waterway, as determined by the Municipal Engineer. The system shall have a capacity to serve the subdivision and drainage area of which it is a part. The system shall include pipes, culverts, manholes, catch basins, drain inlets and a connection for each lot.
(b) Open Drainage System. Subject to the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the developer may rechannel any water course through his property in order to contain the storm drain flow within a lesser width. The developer may be required to deed in fee, dedicate or grant an easement to the Municipality for a drainage channel not less in width than required by a plan or standards adopted by the Municipality or as directed by the Municipal Engineer. The developer shall be responsible for clearing the drainage way of all debris as a condition of acceptance. The Municipal Engineer shall determine the proper cross section, grade, width of channel and horizontal alignment.
(c) Design Standards. The drainage system shall be designed in accordance with standards of the Municipal Engineer and the Cuyahoga County Sanitary Engineering Department. The design of storm frequency shall be as indicated in the following schedule:
One and two-family |
5 years |
All other uses |
10 years |
(d) Acceptance of Storm and Sanitary Sewers. Prior to final approval of any newly installed sewer system and/or reconstructed sewer, the contractor constructing such sewer or the developer of the subdivision in which such sewer was installed shall cause to be made at his expense one set of photographs of the entire sewer system installed, both sanitary and storm, at the completion of all mains, showing thereby that the sewer system was constructed upon sound engineering standards and that the system is free of any and all accumulations of foreign substance and debris and that the passage and flow of sewage and storm water will be free and clear. Upon inspection of such photographs, and if satisfied that such sewer is free and clear of all foreign substances and debris and is of sound workmanship and complies with sound engineering standards, the Municipal Engineer is thereupon authorized to approve the same as a final inspection, placing in safe keeping for future reference all photographs which shall remain the property of the Municipality.
