Development

All land proposed for development within SSCAFCA’s jurisdiction must meet the drainage requirements of SSCAFCA’s Drainage Policy. Except as permitted by this policy, the natural topography, drainage pattern and perviousness of any lot, tract or parcel of land within the territory of the Authority may not be altered by grading, filling, excavating, or subdividing.

No plat, replat, summary plat, development plan or subdivision of any land within the territory of the Authority may be approved by the governing authority of a public body without SSCAFCA’s written approval. Applications for plat, summary plat, replat, development plan, or subdivision approval filed with any public body must be accompanied by certain submittals to SSCAFCA, as spelled out in SSCAFCA’s Drainage Policy (for a downloadable PDF version click here). SSCAFCA has prepared a Drainage Report Checklist to help in preparing Grading and Drainage Plans for projects located in southern Sandoval County. This checklist must be included with all drainage report submittals to SSCAFCA.
(Note: the pdf file is form-enabled and the checklist may be completed on the computer or by hand.)
