Location.

(1)

The locations of all stormwater structures will be accurately shown on plans submitted for approval. Permanent maintenance easements will be indicated to provide a width as determined by the commissioner. Easements must be properly drawn and conveyed to the city prior to final approval of any development.

(2)

Building or grading over any sewer shall first be approved by the commissioner. The commissioner shall examine the application, and, if satisfied that the proposed work will not place an excessive load on the sewer, injure the sewer or not prevent reasonable access for repair and maintenance or harmfully affect the drainage system of the city nor any of its streets and sidewalks, the commissioner may issue a permit to do so.

(3)

All storm sewers shall terminate at a point of discharge acceptable to the commissioner.
