No person shall develop any land for residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional uses without having provided stormwater management measures that control or manage runoff from such developments, except as provided within this article. The stormwater management measures must be designed consistent with the Design Manual and constructed according to an approved plan for new development or the policies stated in §
325-8 for redevelopment.
[Amended 11-13-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-12]
The Department of Public Works may grant a written variance from any requirement of §
325-10 of this chapter, if there are existing site constraints such that strict adherence will result in unnecessary hardship and not fulfill the intent of this chapter. Economic reasons alone will not be considered as an obstacle to meeting the MEP requirements. A written request for a variance shall be provided to the Department of Public Works and shall state the specific variances sought and the rationale. The Department of Public Works shall only grant a variance after determining that sufficient justification has been provided by the applicant developing the land and that the implementation of ESD to the MEP has been investigated completely.
