The City Engineer and Appropriate City Official shall also require the developer's qualified engineer to study the effect of each subdivision on existing downstream drainage facilities outside the area of the subdivision. City storm drainage studies together with such other studies as shall be appropriate, shall serve as a guide to needed improvements. Where it is anticipated that the additional runoff incident to the development of the subdivision will overload an existing downstream drainage facility, the Planning Commission may withhold approval of the subdivision until provision has been made for the improvement of said potential condition in such sum as the Planning Commission, City Engineer and Appropriate City Official shall determine. No subdivision shall be approved unless adequate drainage will be provided to an approved drainage watercourse or facility.
