If it is determined that surface water from adjoining property, presently draining across the area to be developed, will be diverted, the ditch, swale or stormwater pipe shall necessarily be a joint lot-line facility and no property which has in the past been draining across vacant lands shall be held exempt from the development of a joint drainage facility. Any such facility shall be shown on the plans and shall be constructed so as to provide continuous drainage at all times.
