Comment on there's a Costco at the other end

Is this requirement mainly due to drainage or something else? (I’m guessing “just to make things look nicer” isn’t why?)

It’s a combination of drainage and allowing some rainwater to flow into the water table. If I recall correctly, areas with limestone aquifers are going to require more permeable space.
