The drainage plan includes detailed plans of all stormwater drainage facilities, street profiles and other utilities which may be required by the Planning Board. These plans are considered to be an integral part of the final plat submission and are, therefore, the basis for the performance bond and inspection fee.A.It is intended that all drainage problems within the limits of the development or subdivision area will be completely resolved by the design as approved by the Planning Board before any work is started. However, in the event that an error on the part of the designing engineer, either of design or judgment, becomes apparent during the progress of the work or after completion of the work, the Planning Board reserves the right to stop the work and/or order the necessary changes to correct the situation. The Planning Board shall be held blameless for any change so made.B.In order to achieve better comprehensive drainage design, subdivision storm drainage systems shall, upon recommendation of the Planning Board, be partially or completely integrated with the area storm drainage system or designed in such a manner as to be partially or completely integrated with the area storm drainage system. In the following cases, developers may be required to pay to the Town a drainage contribution towards the cost of such area storm drainage system:(1)Subdivisions lying within drainage areas for which the Town has designed storm drainage collection and disposal systems. The drainage contribution toward the cost of participating in the Town drainage system shall be borne by the developer on the basis of his proportional share of the drainage contributed to the total system and shall be computed by the Engineer for the Town.(2)Subdivisions which, because of the small area being drained, would result in a disproportionate high cost of maintenance for the system. In such case, the developer shall participate in the cost of the future drainage systems on the basis of the alternate cost to him of a drainage system if constructed within the subdivision.
