Title
An ordinance to amend the St. Charles Parish Code of Ordinances, Appendix C of the Subdivision Regulations, Section III.A.2.a., Section III.A.2.b., Section IV.D.2., and Section IV.D.2.b., concerning subsurface drainage for subdivision streets.

WHEREAS, It is the desire of the St. Charles Parish Council that drainage ditches function efficiently.
