ARTICLE VIii GENERAL REQUIP~EME~iTS 8.1 Particular Attention b.~ the Planning~ Commission o°.1-1 The Planning Commission, in the examination of s~division plats for approval, ahd in the application of this ordinance, shall take into consideration the requirements of tile community and the best use of the land being subdivided. I~'articular attention shall be g].ven to width and location of street, suitable sanitary utilities, surface drainage, lot sizes and arrangements, ss well as local requirements such as parks and playgrounds, schools and recreation sites, and other public uses. 8.1-2 No land shall be subdivided which~is held by the Planning Commissio], after a determination by the County Engineerinc~' Department in accorosnce with the standar~s of Section 8-4.2 not to adequately provide for storm or flood water run-off.channels or basJ.~s. 8.1-3 In all subdivisions due regard shall be given to the preservation of natural features such as large trees, watercourses, historical, and similar features. i"~es erved 8.2 8.3 Dedication of Land for Public Use 8.3-1 When a final plat of a subdivision has been approved and all other required approvals are obtained and the plat is recorded, such recordation shall constitute acceptance for the purpose designated on the plat of all lands shown on the plat as dedicated to the public use, including street dedications. 8.3-2 %~henever a tentative plat includes a proposed dedication of land to public use and the Plannin? Commission finds that such ].and is not required or not suitable for public use, the PlannJn~ Commission may either refuse to approve such dedication or require {he rearrange- ment of lots in the proposed subdivision to include such land. 8.4 . Preservation for Public S~aces and Flood Plains ~.4-I Preliminary Plat to Accommodate Planned Public S~ Whenever a tract to be subdfvi~ed"~ihcl~des a proposed street, hi,h- way, or parkway, or proposed site for a park, playground, school, or other public use as indicated on the Chesterfield Genera] ~lan, such space shall be suitable incorporated by the developer into his subdivision plat after proper determination of its necesb[tv by the Planning Commission and the appropriate County Officer or o%he~ public agency involved in the acquisition and/or use of each such site. 8.4-2 Requirements for Flood Plain Computations The computation of flood plain areas (land subject to inundation by flood waters) is to be given consideration by engineers v~ho are skilled in and familiar with this particular type of engineering problem. It is expected that all flood plains shall be deline8te~ based on a 100 year frequency and the balance of energy concept of computing water surface profiles. If the County Engineer fi~s it ~ecessary, the engineer may be recruited to submit complete documenta- tion of all computations for floo~ plains which shall include: a. Topography of the contributing watershed, profiles of the reach of stream in question, cross sections of the stream in question and data concerning any constrictions or control points which may affect the flow. b.Runoff computations based on either the "Rational Fermula" other suitable method. c. Water surface profile computations. (P;ben computations are made by electronic computer the Engineer need not submit computa- tions, however tile County Engineer should be informed of what program was used and, if not previously approved, a printout of the program should be provided.) Flood plain computations will be made whenever the contributing watershed is greater than !00 acres~ however, certain instances may necessitate such computations for smaller areas. The computations should reflect development trends in the upstream watershed 20 years hence in selecting a design discharge. Computations required iD. this section shall be accomplished accordance with "Open Channel Hydraulics" by V. T. Chow and "Hydrologic an6 Hydraulic Analyses" Engineering Manual Ii0.~2-i$:09 Department of the Army Corps of Engineers. 8.4-3 Acquisition of Lan5 for Public Use The Planning Com~uission shall c - . onsimer all tentative plats and plans or studies related tb =~ er ..... o, ~.o determine the need for acquisition for public use of any of the lan~ included in the preliminary plat. If such studies or plans do relate thereto, the Pl~nnJ. n~ Com~issJor~ may refer the 10]at to %he public body concerned with scGuisjtior, for its consideration and report. The Planning Commission may propose alternate areas for sucl~ acouisition and shall allow the public body or agency 30 {~ays for reply. The agency's -- affirmative, shall include a map showin~ the boundaries an~ area the parcel to be acquired and aD estimate of the tiD/e required to complete the acquisition.
