This Chapter is intended to regulate Excavation, Grading, or Filling involving a cumulative mass of two hundred (200) cubic yards or more in any six (6) month period. By not regulating smaller excavations, or fills (i.e., less than two hundred (200) cubic yards), the City Council finds that most typical construction of single family homes and of business buildings should be achievable without being subjected to the provisions of this Chapter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any smaller excavations or fills which occur closer than twenty (20) feet from any property line shall require a drainage, erosion, and sedimentation control plan in sufficient detail to guarantee adjacent properties or roadways are not impacted. Land owners are advised that the limited scope of this Chapter does not relieve them of the responsibility to ensure that their small excavation or fill meets the requirements of the local watershed management, the county, or the state or federal government.
