A. A fee for each grading permit shall be paid to the city official prior to issuance of a grading permit as approved by resolution of the city council and as provided in Subarticle 6 of the grading manual.
B. Failure to pay fees and obtain a permit before commencing work shall be deemed a violation of this code, except when it can be proven to the satisfaction of the city official that an emergency existed which made it impractical to first obtain the permit. A violation shall result in an assessment of double permit fees for work done prior to permit issuance. Payment of a double fee shall not relieve any person from fully complying with the requirements of this code nor from any other penalties prescribed herein.
