Soil, sand or gravel shall not be stripped or removed except excess soil, sand or gravel resulting from excavations or grading operations in connection with the construction or alteration of a building or completion of a grading plan for which a permit has been issued.
No building or structure shall be erected within any area described by the Engineer as a drainage course. For the purpose of this Zoning Code, a drainage course includes any area such as drainageways, channels, streams and creeks, designated as such on geodetic or City topographic maps, and further includes any area designed or intended for use for drainage purposes as shown on a recorded subdivision.
No filling of land or excavation of land shall be permitted within a drainage course, or on any lands within 100 feet, or more than 100 feet when so designated on the Zoning Map, of the centerline of such drainage course, except upon issuance of a certificate by the Engineer that such filling will not obstruct the flow of water or otherwise reduce the water-carrying capacity of such drainage course, or affect the design and character of such drainage course.
