5. The adequacy of the receiving existing permanent stormwater BMPs to receive this flow allowing a reasonable assumption of eventual development of adjoining areas.
6. Adequate on-site retention of water for all sites being developed will be designed for contiguous property under one ownership. If the total site is not to be developed immediately, the design shall include the plans for the fully developed contiguous ownership as best the owner can ascertain at the time of the application. Calculations shall be submitted by the developer and checked by the City Engineer. Actual construction may be phased with development, and temporary facilities may be required in the interim, all as approved by the City Engineer.

8. The City Engineer will have the discretion to determine the amount of studies downstream from the proposed development relative to their capacities to handle the released water from the improvement.
