All property being developed except single family residential within the City, shall now be required to comply with the following requirements:
(a) The Developer, person, contractor or company which is developing the property shall submit to the City Manager, when making application for a zoning permit, a plan prepared by a licensed engineer in the State of Ohio showing the design of a storm water drainage system to provide for the adequate movement and disposal of subsurface and surface water.
(b) All design aspects and criteria for hydrology and hydraulics shall be governed by the latest edition of "Standard Drainage Criteria Manual" for Trumbull County, Ohio, except as may be modified herein. All construction and materials specifications for manholes, inlets, catch basins, pipes, ditch linings, headwalls, culverts and bridges shall be governed by the appropriate sections of the latest edition of the State of Ohio, Department of Transportation, "Construction and Materials Specifications", except that no new open drainage ditches shall be permitted, without the approval of the Planning Commission.
(c) The City Manager, prior to issuing the certificate of zoning compliance, shall refer the drainage plan submitted to the City Engineer for approval.
(d) The fee for Drainage Plan Review shall be one hundred twenty-five dollars ($125.00) if the lot is less than one and one half acres and an addition seventy-five dollars ($75.00) for each additional one half acre.
(e) The drainage plan shall provide that all sump pump and roof drain connections shall not outlet on the ground or through the curb but shall be connected to the pipe system, either directly or through the use of a collection system. No storm drainage, including foundation drains, shall be permitted to discharge into sanitary sewers.
(f) The drainage plan shall in each case be designed to provide a facility large enough to accommodate potential run-off from its entire upstream drainage area, whether inside or outside the property being developed. The plan will also study the effect of each construction on existing downstream drainage facilities outside the area of construction. Where it is anticipated that the additional run-off incident to the development of the property will overload an existing downstream drainage facility, approval may be withheld until the provisions has been made for the improvement of such potential condition. When a proposed drainage system will carry across private land outside of the proposed development, appropriate drainage rights must be secured and recorded.
(g) The plan approved by the City Engineer with any additions, corrections or deletions made by him shall be considered the approved plan. Any Developer who disagrees with the determination of the City Engineer may file an appeal with the Planning and Zoning Commission upon the payment of an appeal fee in the amount of two hundred dollars ($200.00). The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing following normal appeal procedures and shall make a determination which shall be final.
(h) The approved plan shall become a condition of Zoning Compliance and the facilities contained in the plan shall be constructed prior to the property being occupied.
