It shall be unlawful for any person to dump on or remove or strip any soil from any land within the village without first securing a permit from the Village Council. No permit is required for the removing, grading or leveling of the aforesaid materials if carried on for the immediate use or development of the land upon which the soil is found or pursuant to a building permit issued by the Building Inspector; provided, however, that where soil is removed from the location where found to another location, a permit is required. No permit is required for the dumping of 20 cubic yards of soil or less within one calendar year upon land improved with an occupied residence, provided that such soil is used for landscaping and/or general grounds maintenance. Any person who shall violate this section shall be deemed responsible for a municipal civil infraction and, upon a determination of responsibility, shall be punished pursuant to § 32.03. The fine for violations of this section shall be $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for each repeat offense.
