(a) Where any excavation or grading is proposed or where any existing trees, shrubs or other vegetative cover shall be removed, the developer shall consult the York County Conservation District Office concerning plans for erosion and sediment control and shall also obtain a report on the soil characteristics of the site so that a determination can be made by the City Engineer as to the type and degree of development that site can accommodate. At the same time a determination should be made as to whether or not any flood hazards either exist or shall be created as a result of the subdivision or development.
(b) All subdivision proposals and new development proposals either partially or completely within the Flood Plain District shall utilize natural features, such as topography, ground cover, etc., to the greatest extent possible in an effort to minimize damage due to flooding. (Ord. 12-1982 §4.70. Passed 11-3-82.)
