Site development may have 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, excess pollution in the form of sediment and chemicals, and may negatively impact water quality and it may increase flooding. Residential runoff may cause pollution, as it has the potential to transport sediment, nutrients, pesticides, metals, bacteria, debris and trash to property and waterways. The provisions of this chapter are in addition to those standards found in Chapter
274 of the Village Code.
A drainage plan is required for all subdivisions, new houses, and for site plans where there are changes in coverage types and amounts or increases in impervious coverage and for all site plans that would require site plan review pursuant to Chapter
264 of the Village Code.
In addition to the penalties enumerated in Article
X of Chapter
320, Zoning, the Building Inspector shall stop all work and construction activity on any premises where a violation of this chapter has occurred and is prohibited from issuing any certification of occupancy or additional permits for construction at the property or permitting work to resume unless and until the provisions of this chapter have been satisfied.
