Soil, sand or gravel shall not be stripped or removed in a Residential District, except excess soil, sand or gravel resulting from excavations or grading operations in connection with the construction or alteration of a building for which a permit has been issued.
No building or structure shall be erected within any area described by the City Engineer as a drainage course. For the purpose of this Zoning Code, a drainage course shall include any area, such as drainageways, channels, streams and creeks, designated as such on geodetic topographic maps and City topographic maps, and shall further include any area designated or intended for use in drainage purposes as shown on a recorded subdivision or topographic plan approved by the City Engineer.
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 center line 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 impair the design and character of such drainage course.
