(a) The developer or builder of any parcel, lot, structure, driveway or road within the City shall properly rough grade the lot or land so that positive drainage is maintained in conformity with the approved grading plan, during and after the construction period. For the purposes of this chapter, “rough grade” means the grading and leveling of the property, after backfilling of the below-grade foundation walls, but prior to any landscaping or grass planting. “Rough grade” also means the elevation approximately two to three inches below the finish grade in planting areas, and finish grade minus depth of paving in areas to receive paving.
(b) The developer or builder of any parcel, lot, or structure within the City shall install the final grade upon the lot, parcel or land being developed or upon which a structure is being erected. The “finished grade” or “final grade” means the elevation of the finished surface of the ground on all areas of the lot and adjoining the building, walks and drives after the normal settlement of the rough grade and the placement and the final grading of the topsoil.
