independent of any wastewater system. An approved drainage plan shall be required to be
submitted with each application for a building permit for any new structure. This requirement

land use. The drainage plan (preferred scale 1" =20', optional scale 1" =50') shall include the
following: existing and proposed nnprovements, existing and proposed contours, existing and
proposed easements, snow storage areas, utility lines, spot elevations and flow direction
arrows, as needed, to clearly portray the proposed drainage layout and detail, and any
drainage facilities needed to mitigate the anticipated impacts. If swales are proposed, include a
cross-section detail of the proposed Swale with dimensions. Silt fences, sediment traps, catch
basins and/or detention ponds may be required at the discretion of the Town. The drainage
plan shall also indicate temporary and permanent methods to be used to stabilize and prevent
the erosion of soils. Revisions to a submitted drainage plan may be required at the discretion
of the Town. No approval for occupancy shall be issued and no structure shall be used or
occupied until the provisions of the approved drainage plan have been implemented. The
owner of the property shall be responsible for maintaining all facilities required by the
approved drainage plan after completion of construction.
