Each development site shall be provided with potable water and fire hydrants, and mains shall be installed as required by the city fire marshal.

The Planning Commission shall allow development only where adequate provisions for storm and flood water runoff have been made as determined by the city engineer. The stormwater drainage system shall be separate and independent of any sanitary sewerage system. Where possible, inlets shall be provided so surface water is not carried across any intersection or allowed to flood any street. Surface water drainage patterns shall be shown on every development proposal plan.

Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainageway, channel or stream, there shall be provided a stormwater easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such watercourse and such further width as will be adequate for conveyance and maintenance. Streets or parkways parallel to watercourses may be required.

A culvert or other drainage facility shall, and in each case be large enough, to accommodate potential runoff from its entire upstream drainage area whether inside or outside of the development. The city engineer shall determine the necessary size of the facility, based on the provisions of the construction standards and specifications and assuming conditions of maximum potential watershed development permitted by the Comprehensive Plan.

Where it is anticipated by the city engineer that the additional runoff resulting from the development will overload an existing drainage facility, the Planning Commission shall withhold approval of the development until provisions have been made for improvement of said potential condition.

In the absence of a drainage basin master plan, a development may be required to employ drainage management practices approved by the city engineer which minimize the amount and rate of surface water runoff into receiving streams. Drainage management practices may include, but are not limited to:
