When completing the rorrrk the first s~ep is to locate the latest County approved Nlaster Drainage Plan as reference for proposed elevations. 3. If no master drainage plan exists, we recommend a minimum of 2% (I/4" per ~.) cross slope for open areas and a 0.5% (1/16" per ~.) longitudinal slope in flow ways (lot lines). This is a recommendation, not a requirement. 4, If no neighboring structures exist, a simple N/A (not applicable) For FIN FLR. __ will su~ce. S.

No significant storm water run-otTis permitted to flow from the subject premises onto abutting properties (Ordinance 95-20 & Ordinance 95-61). 8. Any major deviation from this proposed lot drainage plan shall be submitted for review and approval to Engineering Plan Review and Inspection prior to request for Certificate of Occupancy 9. The lot drainage plan may be submitted by the homeowner. developer, builder or an agent, A lot drainage plan will not be required to obtain a building permit For remodeling when no addition impervious areas are being created.
