(A) The use of land for the excavation, removal, filling, or depositing of any type of earth material, topsoil, gravel, rock, garbage, rubbish, or other wastes or byproducts, is not permitted in any zoning district except under a certificate from, and under the supervision of the Zoning Administrator in accordance with a topographic plan, approved by the City Engineer, submitted by the feeholder owner of the property concerned. The topographic plan shall be drawn at a scale of not less than 1 inch equals 50 feet and shall show existing and proposed grades and topographic features and other data as may from time to time be required by the City Engineer. The certificate may be issued in appropriate cases upon the filing with the application of a cash bond or surety bond by a surety company authorized to do business in the state running to the city in an amount as established by the City Engineer which will be sufficient in amount to rehabilitate the property upon default of the operator or other reasonable expenses. This regulation does not apply to normal soil removal for basement or foundation work when a building permit has previously been duly issued by the Building Official.
