The purpose of this regulation is to establish technically feasible and economically reasonable storm water management standards to achieve a level of storm water quality and quantity control that will minimize damage to property and degradation of water resources and will promote and maintain the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Mayfield Village: B. This regulation requires owners who develop or re-develop their properly within Mayfield Village to: Control storm water runoff from their property and ensure that all storm water management practices are properly designed, constructed, and maintained. 2. Reduce water quality impacts to receiving water resources that may be caused by new development or redevelopment activities. Control the volume, rate, and quality of storm water runoff originating from their property so that surface water and ground water are protected and flooding and erosion potential are not increased. 4. Minimize the need to construct, repair, and replace subsurface storm drain systems. Preserve natural infiltration and ground water recharge, and maintain subsurface flow that replenishes water resources, except in slippage prone soils. 6. Incorporate storm water quality and quantity controls into site planning and design at the earliest possible stage in the development process. 7. Reduce the expense of remedial projects needed to address problems caused by inadequate storm water management. 8. Maximize use of storm water management practices that serve multiple purposes including, but not limited to, flood control, erosion control, fire protection, water quality protection, recreation, and habitat preservation. 9. Design sites to minimize the number of stream crossings and the width of associated disturbance in order to minimize Mayfield Village future expenses related to the maintenance and repair of stream crossings. 10. Maintain, promote, and re-establish conditions necessary for naturally occurring stream processes that assimilate pollutants, attenuate flood flows, and provide a healthy water resource.
