Its provisions include, but are not limited to, regulating drainage installations and improvements, requiring the preservation and enhancement of certain natural environmental features, requiring the installation of drainage improvements in developments, regulating uses, maintenance, and activities in floodplains and flood hazard areas, requiring permits, payment of fees, and assurances of completion, and providing for inspections and control of work.
(2) The requirements, standards, and specifications herein provided are in addition to any other applicable legal requirements.
(B) Where any portion of a proposed development activity is within one and one-half miles of a municipality with a stormwater ordinance, the permittee may be required, at the discretion of the Zoning and Building Director, to adhere to the requirements of that municipality. Where more than one municipality with a stormwater ordinance is within one and one-half miles of any portion of a proposed development activity, the Zoning and Building Director shall review the area for a pre-annexation agreement. The permittee may be required, at the discretion of the Zoning and Building Director, to adhere to the requirements of that municipality having claimed the area for future annexation. In the event the municipality claiming the area for annexation declines to provide the stormwater reviews and inspections, the Zoning and Building Director may require the permittee to adhere to the requirements of other municipalities having boundaries within one and one-half miles of any portion of a proposed development activity. Lacking any other stormwater ordinance, this chapter shall be binding.
