Due to the inability of the soil in our city to provide the necessary absorption of runoff from rainfall, it is necessary to establish regulations for the lessening of potential hazards from runoff as follows:

1.

It shall be the responsibility of the property owner of all private property in the city to maintain all necessary drainage ways on their property in a free-flowing condition. An obstruction must be removed so as not to impede the flow of storm water runoff within any yard within five feet of any side or rear yard line. This shall be mandatory on all new construction and repair of such fences, accessory buildings, landscaping or other improvements which obstruct or cause the obstruction of any drainage way.

2.

All existing conditions will be corrected upon the filing of a written complaint and verification of such condition.

3.

Corrections of any obstruction shall be made within 15 days unless there exists a condition whereby life or property may be endangered. Any such obstruction shall be deemed to be a violation of this ordinance.

All uses which conduct or transact their business from within the city limits, shall be required to have a permanent office facility on the property, and shall have a valid certificate of occupancy and business registration. Home occupations shall be exempt from the certificate of occupancy and permanent office facility requirement.
