In general, lot Lot lines shall be laid out 1455 so as not to cross municipal and school district boundary lines. 1456 Sec. 82-219. - Monuments. 1457 The applicant shall place permanent reference monuments in the subdivisionplat as required by 1458 statute. 1459 Sec. 82-220. - Character of the land. 1460 Land which the council finds to be unsuitable for subdivision or development due to flooding, 1461 improper drainage, steep slopes, soil conditions, rock formations, adverse earth formations or topography, 1462 utility easements, or other features which will reasonably be harmful to the safety, health and general 1463 welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the subdivisionplat and/or its surrounding areas shall not be 1464 subdivided or developed unless adequate methods are formulated by the developer and approved by the 1465 council, upon recommendation of the city engineer, to solve the problems created by the unsuitable land 1466 conditions. Such land shall be set aside for uses as shall not involve such a danger. 1467 Sec. 82-221. - SubdivisionPlat name. 1468 The proposed name of the subdivisionplat shall not duplicate, or too closely approximate 1469 phonetically, the name of any other subdivisionplat in the area city covered by this chapter. The council 1470 shall have final authority to designate the name of the subdivisionplat, which shall be determined at 1471 preliminary subdivisionplat approval. 1472 Sec. 82-222. - Drainage and storm sewers. 1473 (a) General requirements. The city shall not approve any subdivisionplat which does not make adequate 1474 provision for stormwater or floodwater runoff. Surface water drainage patterns shall be shown for each 1475 lot and block. The stormwater drainage system shall be separate and independent of any sanitary sewer 1476 system. Storm sewers, where required, shall be designed by the method as approved by the city, and a 1477 copy of design computations shall be submitted along with plans. Inlets shall be provided so that 1478 surface water is not carried across or around any intersection, nor for a distance of more than 600 feet 1479 in the gutter in urban areas. When calculations indicate that curb capacities are exceeded at a point, no 1480 further allowance shall be made for flow beyond that point; and basins shall be used to intercept flow 1481 at that point. 1482 (b) Nature of stormwater facilities. 1483 (1) Location. The subdivision shall be required by the city to carry away by pipe or open ditch any 1484 spring or surface water that may exist either previously to or as a result of the subdivisionplat. 1485 Such drainage facilities shall be located in the road right-of-way where feasible, or in perpetual 1486 unobstructed easements of appropriate width, and shall be constructed in accordance with the 1487 city's construction standards and specifications. 1488 (2) Accessibility to public storm sewers. 1489 Commented [JB97]: We don’t need two playbooks.
