(a) An approved plan bearing the City Engineer's stamp of approval shall be maintained at the site, along with any required permit, during progress of the work.
(b) Inspection and notification procedures and the time allowed to correct deficiencies shall be established by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee.
(c) The Inspector shall inspect the work covered by the plan and permit. At any stage of the construction when conditions are not stated or shown on the plan, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee acting with the expressed approval of the City Manager, may order further work stopped until approval is obtained for a revised plan conforming to the existing conditions.
(d) If at any stage of the work the Inspector determines that the conditions are such that further work as authorized by the existing permit is likely to imperil any person, property, public way, watercourse, or drainage structure, the Inspector may require, as a condition to allowing work to proceed, that such reasonable safety precautions be taken as considered available to avoid the likelihood of such peril. Where it appears that storm damage may result because the grading is not complete, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee acting with the expressed approval of the City Manager, may order work to be stopped and the property owner or agent required to install temporary planting to control erosion, install temporary structures or take such other measures as may be required to protect adjoining property or the public safety.
(e) Where no permit has been required and it is evident that construction and grading has caused the existing surface drainage in the general area to be impaired, created an erosion hazard or become a source of sediment to any adjacent land or watercourse, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee shall:
(1) Have the property owner or agent verbally notified to take measures necessary to correct the situation within a specific length of time, or
(2) Take immediate action, if necessary to protect persons or property from damage, by causing corrective measures to be taken, and charging the property owner or agent for all cost incurred by the City as a result of such action;
(3) Have the corrective measures performed by a party other than the property owner or agent, with the incurred expense charged to the property owner or agent, if not completed by the property owner or agent within the specified time period;
(4) Recommend that the Building Department withhold the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for all structures on the project area until all costs incurred by the City have been paid in full by the property owner or agent. The withholding of a Certificate of Occupancy shall require the written approval of the City Manager.
