Whenever the surfaces of a lot or plat is excavated, filled, graded or hard-surfaced, positive drainage in accordance with the provisions of this chapter shall be provided so that a nuisance will not be created. Catch basins properly connected to storm sewers or other approved provisions, such as underdrains, shall be made where water may pocket, to preclude the accumulation of surface water. Surface water shall not be drained onto adjacent properties not in the same ownership without written permission, in the form of an easement, from the owner of the adjacent property, and existing natural ground drainage of the ground area surrounding the lot or plat excavated, filled or graded shall not be impeded. If required by the Engineer, the improvement of the land shall include stormwater detention.
