Yards and areas must always be properly drained and connected to
a storm sewer or other approved outfall. Where stormwater or roof
water connects to a drain tile under a curb or open gutter, there
must be a six-inch "T" located adjacent to the curb or gutter and
a minimum six-inch pipe brought to finished grade, capped with a metal
perforated vent cap for overflow. The finished grade of the vent cap
shall be above the curb or gutter so that the stormwater overflow
from the vent cap will drain to the street or other approved outfall.
The stormwater discharge pipe from the roof-water collection system
to the street underdrain shall be a minimum of six inches in diameter.
4-2.
The front, side and rear yards of all lots upon which a structure

Grading of the lot with a one-percent grade, pitching from the rear
lot line toward the front property line, using the curb level or the
crown of the road as the base level; or
B.
An approved surface drainage system that will direct all water to
an approved outfall without spilling any on adjacent property and
only after the filing of appropriate deed restrictions or easements
to prevent the altering of the surface drainage system; or
C.
A stormwater drainage system designed to drain a minimum ten-year,
six-hour event storm. This system must have appropriate provisions
for cleaning and maintenance; or
D.
A stormwater drainage system approved by the Commissioner of Building.
