A.
In the process of subdivision of parcels of land or in the process of development of single lots and lots of record, the subdivider or developer will be required to construct drainage systems shown on the Official Drainage Systems Map, providing easements or dedicated rights-of-way as shown on the Official Drainage Systems Map.
B.
To facilitate maintenance by property owners, local drainage ditches that will generally be located at or near lot lines shall have minimum side slopes of 3:1 (one foot of vertical rise for each three feet of horizontal distance). Other channels and ditches shall have side slopes as indicated on the Official Drainage Systems Map. To prevent erosion and facilitate maintenance, no channel or ditch shall be constructed with side slopes steeper than 21/2:1 (one foot of vertical rise for each 21/2 feet of horizontal distance), except that the Town Engineer may approve steeper slopes where stone-filled gabions or riprap are to be used to support banks.
C.
Where sizes of culverts, pipes and conduits or areas of required stormwater detention facilities or widths of ditches, easements or rights-of-way are not indicated on the Official Drainage Systems Map, dimensions, elevations, areas, widths and other design details shall be submitted to the Town Engineer for approval. Local drainage systems shall have minimum capacities to accommodate runoff to be realized from ten-year storms. Drainage improvements, channels, ditches and culverts along the line of major natural waterways shall have capacities adequate for runoff that will result from fifty-year storms. The basis of design for all proposed drainage systems shall be submitted to the Town Engineer for approval.
D.
The Town Board of the Town of Cheektowaga may consider the construction of a drainage system to be a town responsibility. In such case, the subdivider or developer shall provide a dedicated right-of-way, conforming to widths and areas shown on the Official Drainage Systems Map, to allow for the eventual construction of said drainage system by the Town of Cheektowaga.
