Any person, being the owner, manager, operator or
otherwise in charge of any parking area or driveway, shall provide
suitable drainage at his or her own cost or expense to prevent water
quantity or manner as to create a nuisance or hazard.
No use of lands shall be permitted which changes or
alters existing drainage patterns, nor shall any changes of existing
ground elevations be permitted which would allow surface drainage
to drain onto any abutting property. If alternate drainage facilities
are provided, they shall be equal to, or superior to, the previous
existing drainage patterns on said lot. Any alternate facilities shall
be certified by a registered architect or licensed engineer or approved
by the Code Enforcement Officer, or both.
Any person violating any provision
of this chapter shall be subject to a fine or penalty not to exceed
$250.
