1470.01 COMMUNITY.
   Throughout this regulation the Community shall mean the City of Olmsted Falls, State of Ohio, and its designated agents and representatives.
(Ord. 25-2007. Passed 4-24-07.)
1470.02 COMPREHENSIVE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN.
   The Riparian and Wetland Setback Plan developed to meet this regulation will be coordinated and combined with the Post-Construction Water Quality Plan and the Construction Site Conservation Plan that are developed for the same site. These plans will be titled and numbered in one consecutive sequence to make a Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan for the site.  The Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan so developed will serve as the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) required by Ohio EPA as part of the NPDES Storm Water Permit for General Construction.
(Ord. 25-2007. Passed 4-24-07.)
1470.03 PURPOSE AND SCOPE.
   The intent of this regulation is to:
   (a)   Protect the receiving stream’s physical, chemical, and biological characteristics and to maintain stream functions.
   (b)   Establish consistent, technically feasible and operationally practical standards to achieve a level of storm water quantity and quality control that will minimize damage to public and private property and degradation of water resources, and will promote and maintain the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the Community.
   (c)   Preserve to the maximum extent practicable the natural drainage characteristics of the community and building sites and minimize the need to construct, repair, and replace enclosed storm drain systems.
   (d)   Preserve to the maximum extent practicable natural infiltration and ground water recharge, and maintain subsurface flow that replenishes water resources, wetlands, and wells.
   (e)   Prevent unnecessary stripping of vegetation and loss of soil, especially adjacent to water resources and wetlands.
   (f)   Reduce the need for costly maintenance and repairs to roads, embankments, sewage systems, ditches, water resources, wetlands, and storm water management practices that are the result of inadequate storm water control due to the loss of riparian areas and wetlands.
   (g)   Reduce the long-term expense of remedial projects needed to address problems caused by inadequate storm water control.
      (Ord. 25-2007. Passed 4-24-07.)
1470.04 DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY.
   Neither submission of a plan under the provisions herein, nor compliance with the provisions of these regulations, shall relieve any person or entity from responsibility for damage to any person or property that is otherwise imposed by law.
(Ord. 25-2007. Passed 4-24-07.)
1470.05 CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, NUISANCES AND RESPONSIBILITY.
   (a)   Where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon land than is imposed or required by other Community provisions of law, ordinance, contract or deed, the provisions of this chapter shall prevail.
   (b)   If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any clause, section, or provision of these regulations invalid or unconstitutional, the validity of the remainder shall not be affected thereby.
   (c)   These regulations shall not be construed as authorizing any person to maintain a private or public nuisance on his or her property. Compliance with the provisions of this regulation shall not be a defense in any action to abate such nuisance.
   (d)   Failure of the Community to observe or recognize hazardous or unsightly conditions or to recommend corrective measures shall not relieve the owner from the responsibility for the condition or damage resulting therefrom, and shall not result in the Community, its officers, employees, or agents being responsible for any condition or damage resulting therefrom.
(Ord. 25-2007. Passed 4-24-07.)
1470.06 EFFECTIVE DATE.
