No land located in a Commercial Service District, Limited Industrial District or General Industrial District, as set forth in the Zoning Code, which, in whole or in part, is below the natural or established grade of the street upon which it abuts, shall be filled in with any type of material, except as hereinafter set forth, unless the owner thereof shall first secure a permit to do so. Application for such a permit shall be made in writing to the Building Inspector on forms supplied by him or her, showing a sketch of the land to be filled in, together with a sketch of the entire parcel owned by the applicant, and also the parcels and the roads abutting on its boundary lines, with dimensions of and elevations for all lot lines and streets, before filling, the area desired to be filled in, with dimensions, showing the depth of fill from the street and the width thereof in relation to the side lines of the parcel of the applicant, and showing elevations of the proposed filled-in area, both before and after filling, and the slope of the fill on all sides which shall exceed two feet vertically for each three feet horizontally. Said application shall describe the route of the trucks to the applicant's property, the auditor’s permanent parcel number for such land and such adjacent lands, the amount of material, in cubic yards, requested to be used as fill, the length of time requested for filling, and such other information as may be requested by the Building Inspector so that Council may understand the situation. In setting forth the elevations, the applicant, where a sketch is used, may approximate the number of feet below the natural or established grade of the street. Where any part of such land upon which said fill is to be deposited, or where any part of such adjacent land, is more than ten feet below such natural or established grade of the street, the applicant shall furnish the Building Inspector with a topographical survey of such land and such adjacent lands, prepared by a registered engineer, showing the same information as required by the sketch. Upon being satisfied that the application meets the requirements set forth herein, the Building Inspector shall forward the same to Council.
