               For purposes of this section, minor drainage easements are defined as those providing
               for drainage of surface waters from four or fewer lots, and not involving water bodies
               of substantial significance in the ecology of the area, as determined by the Planning
               Director. Minor drainage easements, where required, shall be permitted to cross lots
               at other points only where such arrangement is found by the Planning Director to be
               practically necessary as a result of topography or soils conditions or improved flow
               and where such arrangement will leave a suitable buildable area, safe from inundation,
               erosion or subsidence, and safely accessible from approved roads. Where necessary
               for operation, construction or maintenance, the Planning Director may require, in
               accord with the terms of the easement, minor drainage easements to be kept free of
               trees and other obstructions.
