§ 253-1. Purpose and authority.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish an enabling ordinance which will allow for creating unique stormwater drainage standards within individual drainage basins or areas which demonstrate a need for water quantity or quality standards different than existing stormwater regulations. These standards may apply to new subdivisions and site plans, existing platted lots or unplatted land, as needed.

As individual areas or drainage basins requiring unique stormwater management standards are identified, the county will undertake adequate studies to determine the deficiencies of the area and additional stormwater standards needed to address these deficiencies. This chapter will then be amended to incorporate the standards for any particular deficient area.

Provisions for waivers shall be included within each individual special area of stormwater concern (SASC).
