(A) No clearing of trees or ground cover, excavation, or filling of land covered by a preliminary subdivision plan shall be performed except in accordance with a site disturbance permit, issued in accordance with the Chapter 156, or a work order issued pursuant to § 155.220. A work order must be obtained prior to the placement of roadway fill. No trees, stumps, or other perishable materials shall be buried at any location where a road is to be constructed. Approval for site clearing and grading may be issued by the MSD and the Director of Works. A plan depicting existing and proposed grade elevations, limits of disturbance, and erosion and sediment controls in accordance with Chapter 156 shall be submitted to the MSD, Public Works, and the Planning Commission for review and approval. No land disturbance may begin until a site disturbance permit has been issued by MSD. Once a preliminary subdivision plan is filed, clearing and site disturbing activities shall be limited to site investigation work, until such time as the preliminary subdivision plan and site disturbance plan are approved.
(B) If the subdivision construction entrance is accessed from a roadway classified as a local street, the subdivider or applicant shall post an encroachment bond with Public Works. The bond shall be for potential damage to existing public roads caused by hauling or other work performed in conjunction with the site disturbance. The bond amount shall be $5,000 or greater as may be stipulated by the Director of Works. No bond shall be required for construction entrances located off collector or arterial level roadways.
