A written construction plan shall be prepared and submitted for approval by the city for all construction projects within the city or the area of city impact. A more detailed plan may be required for larger projects as specified by the action of the commission. A developer and all contractors working at the site shall take care to maintain the construction site and access roads in a manner protective of the public and surrounding property owners or residents. The plan shall address the following elements:
   (A)   Traffic Control Signing: The plan shall describe the traffic control signing required, if any.
   (B)   Construction Sign: A four by four foot (4 x 4') sign shall be constructed at the main entrance or on the major frontage street of the development advising the public of the name of the development, the name and phone number of both the general contractor and developer, and a twenty four (24) hour emergency number. See title III, chapter 9, "Signs", of this code.
   (C)   Notification Of Damage To Infrastructure: Within twenty four (24) hours of notification by the city, repair and protect damaged service lines to prevent inflow, sedimentation, or other damage to the city's infrastructure. Service shall not be left in a damaged condition until service is restored to the property under construction.
   (D)   Repair Of Streets: Within forty eight (48) hours of notification by the city, potholes in asphalt or gravel streets shall be filled and compacted with like material.
   (E)   Final Repairs And Cleaning: Within seventy two (72) hours of notification by the city:
      1.   Cuts in asphalt shall be patched and rolled. Temporary patches may be approved if requested in writing with a permanent patch date given.
      2.   Paved areas shall be cleaned to remove dirt, mud, gravel, concrete and all other debris.
      3.   Sediment and debris shall be removed from any catch basin, valley drain, gutter, or sand and grease trap to prevent further flow into any receiving stream.
   (F)   Erosion And Sedimentation Control Plan: Submit an erosion and sedimentation control plan to the city for review two (2) weeks prior to the beginning of construction. The plan shall have addressed periodic maintenance and response to precipitation events. If precipitation events create a situation requiring mud or snow removal, the city shall review the project site to define appropriate measures and time lines for maintenance activities.
   (G)   Hours Of Operation: Equipment operation shall be limited to the hours of six o'clock (6:00) A.M. to ten o'clock (10:00) P.M. If construction is within one thousand feet (1,000') of a residential area, equipment operation shall be limited to the hours of seven thirty o'clock (7:30) A.M. to ten o'clock (10:00) P.M., and auxiliary construction lighting shall be limited to one hour before and after daylight, unless otherwise approved by the administrator. On Sunday, the hours of operation are limited to nine o'clock (9:00) A.M. to six o'clock (6:00) P.M. Hours of operation may be extended with the approval of the city depending on natural events or other concerns which may require continuous operation.
   (H)   Parking: Construction vehicle parking may be restricted at construction sites so as to not block reasonable public and safety vehicle access along the street and sidewalks.
   (I)   Deliveries: Deliveries of construction materials and supplies, including concrete, may be regulated as to time (hours of operation, but not to exceed the hours of subsection (G) of this section), and routing.
   (J)   Temporary Fencing: Orange safety fencing or other fencing materials shall be installed and maintained to prevent inappropriate pedestrian traffic from access to adjacent construction activity and to prevent damage to adjacent vegetation.
   (K)   Access: Access to private property shall be maintained. In the event that access must be cut off, notification shall be given to affected property owners forty eight (48) hours in advance explaining the construction and the time access will be restored. Access shall be restored no later than four thirty o'clock (4:30) P.M. each night and shall remain open until eight thirty o'clock (8:30) A.M. each morning.
   (L)   Grading And Excavation: Because of the truck hauling involved in grading and excavation, restrictions on trucking routes as well as the hours of operation may be necessary to mitigate the adverse impacts from such operations.
   (M)   Control Of Dust And Mud: Sediment control structures, basins, silt fences, catch basin filters and other items contained in EPA pollution prevention plans or in any sediment control plan shall be maintained at all times. A program for the control of dust or other airborne debris shall be required. Provisions must be made to prevent the tracking of mud onto streets, and it will be required to remove any such mud daily. Placing gravel on egress and ingress areas of sites is a method to control mud and dust problems.
   (N)   Storage On Public Streets: No equipment or materials shall be left parked or stored in public rights of way without traffic control devices in place, including signage and flashing lights, in accordance with the manual on uniform traffic control devices, as amended. Equipment or materials which may impede traffic flow on a public right of way shall be removed or relocated within four (4) hours.
   (O)   Stockpiling And Staging: In order to reduce the number of delivery trips to construction sites, the stockpiling of materials is required, with consideration of the space available on the property for stockpiling.
   (P)   Sanitary Facility: An approved and regularly serviced temporary sanitary facility shall be in place for use by contractor personnel. The number and location of facilities shall be appropriate to the site and the number of workers.
   (Q)   Trash Management: Construction sites shall provide adequate storage and a program for regular trash removal. Construction bins are encouraged on sites with adequate room for separation of materials. Burning of scrap wood or other materials on site is not permitted, except in an approved container and with a current burning permit, if required.
   (R)   Temporary Lighting: An approved lighting plan must be obtained from the administrator if any exterior, temporary lighting is necessary for construction.
   (S)   Dogs: Dogs are prohibited at active construction sites unless under strict leash control at all times.
   (T)   Area Restoration: In the event that the developer, builder or their contractors fail to protect and clean streets or public ways, including adjacent private property as is necessary to provide safe, unimpeded access to the public, the city may hire equipment, staff, or an outside contractor to restore the area. The direct cost for all associated work, along with the costs for staff time, consultants and attorney fees, if any, shall be paid for by the developer. (Ord. 822, 2-23-2006, eff. 3-16-2006)
