A. Plans and Engineering Data Requirements: No permit shall be issued for any construction or use in any high-water table overlay zone (OW) until adequate plans and engineering data are delivered to the city showing that:
1. All structures and uses shall be designed and constructed so as not to adversely impact or be impacted by a high-water table.
2. Ground water is not pumped, diverted or allowed to flow into the sanitary sewer system or onto property owned by others.
3. The proposed use is not of a character to increase quantities of chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides or minerals or in any other way likely to contaminate the ground water.
B. Zoning Administrator Approval: All plans submitted will require approval from the zoning administrator prior to a permit being granted. The zoning administrator may request assistance from the city engineer for the reviewing of plans and setting of conditions prior to issuing a permit.
