(a) Unless watercourses or drainageways are enclosed, the lot design shall be adjusted so that rear lot lines are as nearly coincident as possible to the natural or relocated drainage course. Where such a design is not possible, the side lot line may be arranged coincident to an open drainage course only when each abutting lot is increased in width by at least half the width of the required easements.
(b) Low-lying areas, which are subject to flooding, and easements for drainage, shall not be allowed in the buildable area of the site or included in calculating the required lot area.
(c) When a lot is traversed by a storm sewer or drainage swale, a utility easement of adequate width, as determined by Section 727.05, shall be provided.
(d) The subdivision shall be designed in compliance with Chapter 1324 "Storm Water Management" and Chapter 1326 "Erosion and Sediment Control".
(e) All drainage facilities shall be designed in accordance with the Cuyahoga County Uniform Standard for Sewerage Improvements and the Ohio Department of Transportation Location and Design Manual, Volume 2.
