(A) For individual lots disturbing less than one acre, developed within a larger permitted project, a formal review and issuance of an individual lot plot plan permit will be required before a building permit can be issued. The individual lot owner must complete a residential lot plot plan permit request, containing the certified site layout for the subject lot and an erosion and sediment control plan in accordance with the city’s Utility and Infrastructure Construction Standards and Specifications Manual, the name and contact information for the trained individual in charge of the stormwater pollution prevention self-monitoring program for the individual lot. In submitting the individual lot plot plan for plan review, applicable fees for the permit, plan review, and site inspections are due in accordance with the city’s inspection fee ordinance. These fees are due before approval for a plan can be issued. The individual lot owner is responsible for installation and maintenance of all erosion and sediment control measures until the site is stabilized. In instances where an NOT has been issued to the developer and there are multiple lots being developed and a violation of this chapter occurs that cannot be attributed to an individual lot owner, then all lot owners with active construction shall, collectively, be found in violation.
(B) As a condition of approval and issuance of the permit, the city shall require the applicant to provide financial performance and maintenance guarantees. Said assurance will guarantee a good faith execution of the stormwater drainage plan, the SWPPP, the stormwater quality management plan, and any permit conditions.
(C) Notice of the scheduled date for completion of construction shall be provided to the Department at least 72 hours prior to its planned completion. The owner will schedule the final inspection, the storm drain and site grading performance sureties will be released after submittal and approval by the Public Works Department of the following information:
(1) “Record” drawings prepared under the supervision of and certified by a professional engineer registered in the state;
(2) For subdivided and platted or developments larger than five acres, a copy of the storm drain maintenance bond in a form approved by the jurisdictional entity; and
(3) A certificate of completion and compliance certifying that the completed storm drainage system and stormwater management facilities substantially comply with construction plans and the stormwater management permit as approved by the Public Works Department.
(D) For platted single- and double-family developments, the performance surety for installation of required erosion and sediment control measures will be released only after construction has been completed, inspected by the Public Works Department and a three-year maintenance bond has been submitted for approval. Bonds are required for each individual section of the development.
(E) The property owner, developer or contractor shall be required to file a three-year maintenance bond with the city, prior to final project acceptance (the issuance of a verified “NOT”).
