To prevent an increase in non-point source pollution, this chapter shall apply to any earth-disturbing activities greater than or equal to one acre for new development or redevelopment projects or earth disturbing activities less than one acre on parcels with greater than or equal to 50% impervious surface which will alter storm water drainage characteristics of the development site. Typically these developments require approval of a plat, a site development plan, building permit, and other permits to be obtained. However, this chapter shall not apply to the following:
(a) Development on one single-family lot, parcel, or condominium unit where the City of Davison determines that due to the size of the development site or other circumstances, the quantity, quality, and or rate of storm water flow does not materially alter storm water flow from the property in terms of rate and/or volume.
(b) The installation or removal of individual mobile homes within a mobile home park. This exemption shall not be construed to apply to the construction, expansion, or modification of a mobile home park.
(c) Ongoing farm operations such as tilling or plowing. Earth disturbances that are not directly related to farming are not exempt from this chapter.
(d) Plats with preliminary plat approval and other developments with final land use approval prior to the effective date of this chapter, where such approvals remain in effect.
