(as may be amended) <br />. . . . . . . . . <br />2. <br />Building types, parking layouts, etc. must be selected and located with respect to the natural t—opog--ra-phy <br />to minimize grading and preserve sensitive areas. <br />3. <br />The rate of runoff from the site must not be increased over pre-development conditions. <br />4. <br />The stormwater management system must respect existing drainage patterns. <br />5. <br />Energy dissipaters such as rip rap aprons and other site features must be used where runoff is c-o-Ilected <br />and discharged; e.g., at downspouts from rooftops and storm drains at parking areas. <br />6. <br />Conflicts between on-site drainage and other features must be avoided; e.g., drainage across sidewalks <br />or ponding in parking/service areas. <br />i�1?*-",*­"-;"..: <br />1. <br />In LO-2 areas only, where ground absorption systems and/or wells are used for sewage disposal and/or <br />water supply, the installation of such facilities must comply with all local and state regulations governing <br />their design, construction, operation, and maintenance <br />2. <br />Public water and sewer shall be within all EDD areas except LO-2 areas (40,000 sf minimum). <br />3. <br />Each comprehensive site development plan must therefore be accompanied by documentation from the <br />utility provider that it has reviewed and approved: <br />Preliminary plans for the proposed water and/or sewer lines; <br />The adequacy of the existing system(s) to which the connection(s) will be made; <br />The capacity of the existing water and sewer treatment facilities; <br />The carrying capacity of the discharge stream or discharge point; and <br />The method of funding proposed extensions of water and sewer lines. <br />Certified Contract/Agreement between utility provider and applicant. <br />Documentation must be submitted that there is adequate water flow and pressure to meet required <br />fireflow and fire suppression. <br />
