Prior to the issuance of a permit required by § 118.095, the City Engineer shall inspect the land or area which is to be landscaped and shall take a grade reading of the soil. The City Engineer shall also render his or her opinion regarding any potential drainage problem. If, in the opinion of the City Engineer, flooding or drainage problems may arise as a result of the landscaping, no permit shall be issued until the landscape contractor agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the City Engineer, make the land and any adjacent land safe from flooding or drainage problems.
