The Chief Inspector of the Board of Fire Prevention may waive the requirement of this Section for detention facilities when one or more of the following conditions exist:
(A) The proposed development consists of improvements to a single residential lot or parcel with a total area of one acre or less, recorded prior to the effective date of this Chapter. Properties subdivided to form smaller parcels after the effective date of this Chapter will be subject to all detention requirements described herein. Such subdivisions must provide a master drainage plan, including provisions for stormwater detention, before any of the subdivided parcels may be developed.
(B) The proposed development consists of home improvements or additions to an existing residence, and it can be satisfactorily verified that the improvements will not increase the value of the premises by more than fifty percent (50%) of its then current value.
(C) The proposed development consists of restoring existing improvements which have been damaged by fire, storm, or flood.
(D) The property to be developed is all, or a wholly contained part of an approved development for which stormwater detention was previously provided, or planned to the satisfaction of the Village authorities in the form of on-site detention, off-site detention, fee in lieu of, or some combination of the above. Development of property shall be allowed to take place according to the conditions of previously approved detention standards and stipulations provided, however, that previously approved concept plans and/or preliminary plats shall not retain their approved status for stormwater detention proposals for longer than one year if no construction or development takes place within that time.
