upon the current land use plan and the current and proposed zoning of
the land within the drainage basin. Calculation of storm flows and

The City Engineer shall inform the Planning Commission in writing of
the effects of the proposed subdivision on the existing storm drainage
system based upon the above submitted drainage report. The City of
Salina reserves the right to require the developer of the proposed
subdivision to construct or cause to be constructed all necessary
storm drainage systems, designed in accordance with the design criteria
established by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of any building
permit."

after its adoption and publication once in the official city newspaper.
