use <br />V - B. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT <br />V B - 1. it shall be the responsibility of the <br />subdivider to provide a design which shall <br />meet the following objectives. <br />A) Provide a suitable building area on each <br />lot which is safe from inundation and <br />erosion. <br />*B) Protect the characteristics and capacity <br />of natural drainage ways, and encourage <br />reliance on natural drainage ways or <br />the removal of runoff by preventing their <br />impoundment, except where there may be a <br />site for intentional storm water detention. <br />C) Prevent natural runoff levels from sub -'. <br />stantially increasing by insuring that <br />the runoff from the 10 year storm on the <br />developed site shall not be greater than <br />the rate of runoff on the same site in <br />a natural condition. <br />D) Prevent inundation of surface water into <br />sanitary sewer systems, septic tank ab- <br />sorption fields, public or individual <br />water systems, and onto adjacent lots. <br />E) Protect all roads, driveways, utilities, <br />and other types of development from damage <br />caused by improper stormwater management. <br />F) Generally minimize the disturbance to <br />natural vegetation, minimize the area of <br />impervious surface and maximize the infil- <br />tration of storm water into the groundwater <br />system. <br />To achieve these objectives the subdivider <br />may use whatever combinations of mechanical <br />devices, natural buffers, large lots, or other <br />technical means that are available.
