It is recognized that most streams and drainage channels serving the town do not have sufficient capacity to receive and convey storm water runoff resulting from continued urbanization. Accordingly, the storage and controlled release of excess storm water runoff as well as compensation for loss of floodplain storage shall be required for all developments and re-developments (as defined in § 50.006 of this chapter) located within the town. Release rate requirements, downstream restriction considerations, acceptable outlet, adjoining property impact considerations and compensatory floodplain storage rates are detailed in the town’s Storm Water Technical Standards Manual.
