3. If the City Engineer or designee finds the plan does not comply with this chapter, the City shall advise the applicant in writing of the items required to bring the plan into compliance.
4. No building permit or land use application shall be approved until the sedimentation and erosion control or stormwater plan complies with the standards of this chapter. No ground-disturbing activity shall commence until the City has approved a stand-alone plan.
B. Sedimentation And Erosion Control Plans And Stormwater Plans Filed With Applications Requiring Public Hearings:
1. Any application, other than a preliminary plat, which is subject to the public hearing procedural requirements set forth in the City zoning regulations, shall be submitted at the same time as the land use application.
2. The City Engineer or designee shall review the plan to determine whether it complies with the standards of this chapter.

4. Once the plan is determined to comply with this chapter, the plan shall be considered by the City Council concurrently with the land use application.
5. No final approval of an application shall occur until the sedimentation and erosion control or stormwater plan is approved.
C. Preliminary Stormwater Plans And Final Stormwater Plans:
1. The preliminary stormwater plan shall be filed concurrently with the preliminary plat application.
2. The City Engineer or designee shall review the preliminary plan to determine whether it complies with the standards of this chapter.

No final plat shall be approved by the City until the stormwater management facilities are in place and functioning as designed unless a surety in lieu of completion is accepted by the City, pursuant to the subdivision procedures of title 9 of this Code. As-built, final drawings illustrating the placement of the components of the stormwater management system shall be filed with the City prior to final plat approval.
D. Modifications To Sedimentation And Erosion Control Plans And Stormwater Management Plans: During any aspect of site preparation, development or construction, if field conditions prove to be substantially different from conditions assumed by the design professional in the creation of a stormwater management plan or sedimentation and erosion control plan, such that designed features may not function as planned, the design professional or owner shall apply to the City for permission to make a modification to the plan. If the City Engineer finds the modification is necessary and is in substantial accord with the approved plan and standards of this chapter, the Engineer shall notify the design professional or owner in writing, and construction may proceed. Any such modifications approved by the City shall be shown on final drawings of the stormwater management plan on file with the Administrator. (Ord. 214, 5-2-2017)
