A.
Any person constructing any building, addition thereto
or any improvement under a building permit issued under this article
shall make the necessary provision for carrying roof rainwater, roof
downspouts, foundation drains, areaway drains or other sources of
surface runoff or groundwater to any paved street upon which the property
shall abut or to a storm sewer where possible. All such drainage facilities

it would be impossible to comply with this provision, the matter shall
be brought to the attention of the Building Inspector with a request
for his approval of any submitted alternate method of disposal. If
the Building Inspector shall refuse such permission, the appeal procedure
under this article for refusal of building permits shall apply.
