be created by the development should be controlled, there shall be
provided easements or drainage rights-of-way with swales, culverts,
catch basins or other means of channeling surface water within the

engineer that the proposed development will not create erosion, drainage
or runoff problems either in the development or in other properties.

is increased either in volume or duration, easements from the abutting
property owners allowing such additional discharge shall be obtained.
