(A) Plans will be required with all applications for grading permits. Each plan sheet shall be of suitable scale and size. All applications shall be signed by owners of each parcel of property on which grading will be conducted. Plans and specifications shall be prepared and signed by a civil engineer when the grading or filling is over 1,500 cubic yards; or a dam, retaining wall or fill over four feet in height is required; or when grading will occur on slopes greater than 20%.
(B) Plans shall be drawn to suitable scale and size upon substantial reproducible material and shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the nature and extent of the work proposed and show in detail that it will conform to the provisions of this chapter and all other relevant laws, ordinances and regulations. The location of the work, the name and address of the owner, and the parcel number of the property on which the grading is to be done shall be clearly shown on each set of plans. The plans shall include the following information:
(1) A statement as to the specific intentions or ultimate purpose for which the grading is being done;
(2) General vicinity of the proposed site;
(3) Property limits and accurate contours of existing ground and details of terrain and area drainage;
(4) Limit dimensions, elevations or finish contours to be achieved by the grading, and proposed drainage channels and related construction;
(5) Detailed plans of all surface and subsurface drainage devices, walls, culverts, bridges, retaining walls, cribbing darns and other protective devices to be constructed with, or as a part of, the proposed work together with a map showing the drainage area and the estimated runoff of the area served by any drains;
(6) Location of any building or structures on the property which may be affected where the work is to be performed and the location of any buildings or structures on land of adjacent owners which are within 15 feet of the property or which may be affected by the proposed grading;
(7) Starting and completion dates;
(8) Proposed methods to control erosion and drainage such that it does not leave the site unless contained in an approved drainage channel and does not cause damage to neighboring properties and methods to establish vegetation on disturbed slopes;
(9) Provide an estimated amount of cut and fill material, and vertical dimensions of cut and fill material;
(10) Provide erosion and drainage control plan;
(11) Location of utility connections, septic tanks/leach fields and wells; and
(12) Other information required by the county necessary to adequately describe and analyze the proposed project.
(C) Applications for grading that do not contain the required information will not be accepted.
