Dedicated drainageways or drainage easements shall be provided for surface drainage courses abutting or crossing the tract in accordance with Section 151.08.008, and shall be of a width sufficient to permit vehicle access for maintenance, widening, deepening, relocating, or protecting such drainage course as may be required by the Director of Community Development.
