When stormwater drainage facilities and control structures are of permanent nature the City may assume responsibility for such structures located within the corporation limits once they have been constructed and accepted by the City. Funding for the maintenance of these major facilities may be by assessment of property owners in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code. The maintenance of minor detention areas such as swales, etc. on individual parcels or lots in new subdivisions shall be the responsibility of the individual parcel or lot owners. Special provisions shall be written into the deeds for the individual parcels or lots in new subdivisions so the owners are aware the parcels or lots are used for temporary stormwater storage. The City will require all of these stormwater drainage facilities and control structures to be designed to minimize maintenance costs. The property owner or owners shall provide all necessary easements and rights of way to the City in order to permit the maintenance and repair of the required stormwater drainage facilities and control structures.
