(A) All structures shall be constructed or located with a ground elevation so as to provide a sloping grade to cause the surface drainage to flow away from the walls of the structures, while also not negatively affecting abutting properties.
(B) Grades on any lot upon which new construction or earth movement is to be carried out shall be related to existing grades and drainage systems so as to provide adequate drainage and not jeopardize the existing drainage systems, and shall be approved by the administrative official and other authorities having jurisdiction over the system.
(C) No premises shall be filled or graded so as to discharge surface run-off on adjoining premises in such a manner as to cause ponding or surface accumulation of such run-off thereon. In instances where the final grade is above that of any adjacent properties, it is the responsibility of the property owner to construct swale ditches or provide other satisfactory means of preventing surface water from draining onto adjacent properties.
