for high-density residential development, be on well-drained sites
and shall be so located that their drainage shall not endanger or
adversely affect any other property.

be made available in parking bays, at clearly designated places within
the park. The visitor parking shall be located within 250 feet of

with City and state requirements. Such plans shall be to a scale of
not less than one inch equals 50 feet. Plans shall be stamped and
