Such private open space shall be maintained and operated by the Homeowners or Property Owners Association. Any portion of the water retention or detention areas that is in excess of the design requirements in the stormwater regulations may be included in calculating the open space requirement; provided those needs serve more than just the basic stormwater needs of the development.
