A. Notice Required: Prior to the suspension or revocation of a land disturbance permit, the city engineer shall give the land disturbance permit holder written notice of intention to suspend or revoke the land disturbance permit. The notice shall specify the grounds for such intended action and the time and place for the holding of a conference between the city engineer and the land disturbance permit holder, or its authorized representatives, to review the grounds for the proposed action. Notice of the proposed action shall be given to the land disturbance permit holder at least forty eight (48) hours before the time set for the conference, if given by personal service, and at least ninety six (96) hours before the time set for the conference, if given by first class mail. Weekends and holidays are not counted in determining the time for the giving of notice and the holding of the conference. With the consent of the land disturbance permit holder, the time periods provided for herein may be shortened or extended.
B. Emergency: In the case of an emergency, and only where an unacceptable level of risk to public health, safety and welfare would incur from any delay, the notification deadlines may be disregarded and the city engineer may act decisively to reduce or eliminate the hazard. In such a situation, the city engineer will then make every reasonable effort to confer with the land disturbance permit holder in a timely manner to resolve the concerns which resulted in the suspension. Costs, including additional city staff time and equipment, shall be borne by the land disturbance permit holder. (Ord. 419, 6-5-2001)
