   Land filling is not permitted unless specifically authorized as set forth in this section:

   (a)    An owner may file with the Planning and Zoning Commission an application for land filling, setting forth the proposed land fill conditions, which must include the purpose, area to be filled, time required and all other pertinent facts which are the basis for the request.

   (b)    The request must specify the land fill material to be used, and such material only shall be noncombustible, nonputrescible, nonmetallic, nonsynthetic fill material consisting of loose soil, concrete, asphalt, paving materials, stone, concrete blocks and similar solid or inert material.

   (c)    After consideration, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall recommend a grant or denial of any application or recommend a grant of the application and specify safeguards for the community, including, but not limited to, the length of time for such land fill, the hours and days that the land filling should be permitted, the fencing or other security efforts to be taken and other conditions which may be necessary in view of the nature of the individual request.

   (d)    The Planning and Zoning Commission shall recommend either a grant or denial of the application within 120 days after its filing, and the Commission shall forthwith file with the Clerk of Council a written report of its decision and suggested safeguards, if any.

   (e)    Within sixty days after the filing of such report by the Planning and Zoning Commission, Council shall either grant or deny the application and may condition any grant upon safeguards for the community, including, but not limited to, those suggested by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

   (f)    In the event the Planning and Zoning Commission shall have recommended denial of the request, an affirmative vote of five Councilmen is necessary to grant such application. If the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended a grant of the application or grant the application with certain safeguards, the affirmative vote of four Councilmen is necessary to grant such application.

   (g)    Upon any such application, the Building Commissioner shall issue a special permit setting forth safeguards approved by Council.
