12.28.080 Drainage of surface water.
A. Paved or Hard Surfaced Areas.
1. Whenever any area in connection with a service station, parking lot or similar place is to be paved or hard surfaced, a plot plan of the entire area to be improved shall be submitted to the city engineer. In addition to the information required under Section 12.28.030(B) for application for a driveway permit, the plot plan shall show the details of grading drainage and surfacing including the surfacing material to be used. Developers of public parking areas shall also meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance.
2. All such paved or hard surfaced areas shall be provided with approved catch basins or drainage to dispose of all the water that may fall upon such areas. Under no circumstances shall water be allowed to run across a sidewalk area. All drainage provisions shall be of such design as to carry surface water to the nearest practical storm sewer or other means of disposal approved by the city engineer.
3. No person shall construct or alter any such storm drainage structure without having first obtained a written authorization therefor from the city engineer.
4. No permit shall be issued until the proposal has been approved by the city engineer and where necessary by the planning commission.
B. Any person wishing to construct a pedestrian or vehicle accessway over a drainage ditch located on the public right-of-way shall provide at his expense, when so directed by the city engineer, a culvert pipe in said drainage ditch for the full length of his abutting property footage, including the fill therefor. Said culvert pipe shall be of the size, type and placed as directed by the city engineer and in accordance to the requirements of Chapter 12.32 of the Aberdeen Municipal Code.
