(a) For all new and pending developments within the City, the City Engineer shall follow the current Wayne County Stormwater Standards Manual in the need to determine on-site detention or retention facilities whether the receiving drainage course possesses sufficient flow capacities to protect downstream properties from damage resulting from developed stormwater flows. The City Engineer shall also determine if the existing public stormwater sewer system is capable of adequately evacuating stormwater runoff from a proposed residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use, or similar type of development.
(b) Where a receiving drainage course does not possess sufficient flow capacities to protect downstream properties from damage resulting from developed stormwater flows, or where the existing public stormwater sewer system is determined to be incapable of adequately evacuating stormwater runoff from a proposed residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use, or similar type of development, the new development shall provide an on-site stormwater detention or retention facility or facilities in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in this chapter and any other applicable ordinances.
(c) Any owner or developer aggrieved by a determination of the City Engineer made pursuant to this chapter shall have the right to a hearing before the Council, provided a written request therefor is filed with the City Clerk within ten days following the personal delivery or the date of mailing of the determination of the City Engineer. The City Council, prior to taking any action, shall refer this matter to the City Planning Commission for review and recommendation. Further review may be had in a court of competent jurisdiction.
