A. Application for renewal of the excavation permit shall be made in writing not less than thirty (30) days before the expiration of the permit. Application for renewal shall contain a statement of any changes in the information submitted in the last approved permit application or renewal. Failure to submit such information shall be grounds for revocation or for not granting renewal of the permit. If there are no changes, it shall be so stated in the renewal application.
B. Renewals may be made by the administrator, provided the operation is in conformance with the provisions under which the permit was granted. If the administrator is of the opinion that the operation, as conducted, is not in accordance with the terms of the permit, or that the renewal application indicates substantial changes in the operation, the renewal application shall be referred to the council. The council may refer the renewal application to the planning commission for review, order a public hearing, or approve or deny the permit in accordance with the provisions of this section 9-4-1. (1974 Code § 420.11)
