7.
Stormwater

management of the rate and volume of stormwater runoff from the 10% and 1%
storms per the latest adopted version of APWA 5600 standards in effect at the
time of submission. The developer shall construct improvements necessary to

from the site.

14.
The
developer shall submit a storm drainage analysis from a Missouri-licensed civil
engineer to the Land Development Division evaluating proposed improvements and
impact to drainage conditions. Since this project is within a "Combined
Sewer Overflow" (CSO) district, the project shall be designed to retain
rainfall of 1.5
inch
depth over the entire site to simulate natural runoff conditions and reduce
small storm discharge to the combined sewer system and manage the 10-year storm
and 100-year storm per currently adopted APWA standards. The analysis shall be
submitted, and the developer shall secure permits to construct any improvements
required by the Land Development Division prior to recording the plat.

AASHTO adequate sight distance standards are met, prior to issuance of any
certificate of occupancy.

The
developer shall integrate into the existing streetlight system any relocated
existing streetlights within the street right-of-way impacted by the new drive
or approach entrances as required by the Land Development Division, and the
relocated lights must comply with all adopted lighting standards.
A copy of said development plan
