A. The Stormwater Enterprise Manager or City Engineer may enter upon any property at reasonable times to conduct inspections of grading and erosion control operations to determine compliance with stormwater requirements, policies, and procedures and to carry out duties in the enforcement of this Section 7.4.601, including abatement of violations.
B. In the event the owner of any property within the City refuses to permit entry to the Stormwater Enterprise Manager when entry is sought pursuant to this Section 7.4.603, or should permission to enter the property otherwise not be obtainable from the owner, the Stormwater Enterprise Manager may make application to any Judge of the Municipal Court of the City for the issuance of a warrant to inspect the property or carry out other duties, including the abatement of violations. A sworn application for entry and inspection shall identify the premises upon which entry is sought and the purpose for which entry is desired. The application shall state the facts giving rise to the belief that a condition that is in violation of the requirements of this Section 7.4.601 exists on the property, or that a violation in fact exists and must be abated. Any warrant issued shall command the owner to permit entry to Stormwater Enterprise Manager for the purposes stated in the application.
C. The property owner or the property owner's designated agent shall perform regular inspections of all grading and erosion control operations in accord with the policies and procedures set forth in the Engineering Criteria. (Ord. 23-03)
