(C) Permittees who reside on the property and are obtaining the permit for land disturbance purposes on their own residential property shall not be required to post a fiscal surety, but are bound by all other requirements of this chapter.

Upon declaration of default, the City of Berea shall demand such amounts form the surety as required to remedy the default.
