Site development has impacts on the land's ability to absorb water, regional and site hydrology, natural resources, the natural hydrologic regime, drainage patterns, and surface water flow conditions. Stormwater runoff may cause erosion and may increase flooding. Stormwater runoff may also cause excess pollution by transporting sediment, chemicals, nutrients, pesticides, metals, bacteria, debris, and trash to property and waterways located downstream. The Village Board finds that establishing drainage regulations in Chapter
74, and in Chapter
139 for any project that results in land disturbance equal or greater than one acre, are in the best interest of the health, safety, and welfare of the Village and its residents.
No Owner may permit to exist the concentrated flow of water on their property, or alter the natural flow of water to create concentrated flow on their property that would divert it to another property or onto a public road or street, a Private Road, or Private Street, unless it is part of a drainage conveyance system in conformance with the provisions of this chapter, and where applicable, Chapter
139 of the Village Code.
No person shall, without a permit from the Village, discharge
or drain water from a swimming pool. All water from a swimming pool
must be discharged to a subsurface disposal structure which has capacity
for 1/3 the total pool water volume. In no event will a person be
permitted to drain a swimming pool onto the property of others, including
onto public or private roads or streets.
A drainage plan is required for all applications for subdivision,
site plan approval, or for any application that includes filling,
excavating, grading, altering, or the developing of land within the
Village that requires approval from the BZA based on an application
for a variance, fill permit, site plan approval, Sports Court, or
for any other application as required by the Superintendent of the
Building Department or the Village Engineer.
