A. All development shall be provided with a drainage system that is adequate to prevent the undue retention of surface water on the development site. Surface water shall not be regarded as unduly retained if:
1. The retention results from a technique, practice or device deliberately installed as part of an approved sedimentation or storm water runoff control plan; or
2. The retention is not substantially different in location or degree than that experienced by the development site in its pre-development stage, unless the retention presents a danger to health or safety.
B. No surface water may be channeled or directed into a sanitary sewer.
C. Whenever practicable, the drainage system of a development shall coordinate with and connect to the drainage systems or drainage ways on surrounding properties or streets.
D. Use of drainage swales rather than curb and gutter and storm sewers in subdivisions is provided elsewhere. Private roads and access ways within unsubdivided developments shall utilize curb and gutter and storm drains to provide adequate drainage if the grade of the roads or access ways is too steep to provide drainage in another manner or if other sufficient reasons exist to require the construction.
