fence and/or sod for model homes must be in placed prior to the issuance of the building permit. • On lots that require silt fence,the builder is responsible for determining where a 20 foot opening to the lot will be placed. However, when necessary,the silt fence may be temporarily taken down by a builder to gain access around the house, but it must be properly replaced by them. • Silt fence and sod disturbed by others due to plat improvements, such as utilities, is the responsibility of the developer to see that it is repaired. The City Engineer's inspector will order these corrections. If silt fence and/or sod is disturbed for the construction of a house or providing utilities to a house, it is the builder's responsibility to see that they are repaired. The building inspectors will order these corrections. • Rock driveways or the equivalent will only be required for lots that need silt fence (steep lots). The builder is responsible for the rock driveway. These driveways are to be in place immediately after backfilling. The building inspectors will deny inspections until this accomplished. • Developers reimburse the city for cost of sweeping streets as needed until 75% of the certificates of occupancy for homes in the plat are issued. The Building and Zoning Department will keep tack of the certificates of occupancies. The Street Department determines when sweeping is needed. The developer is also responsible for cleaning storm sewer, storm ponds, etc., if needed, during this same period. • These requirements will be made part of the developer agreement for a plat and covered under the letter of credit. A letter of credit in a sufficient amount to cover a estimated year's worth of sweeping will remain in place until 75% of the certificates of occupancy are issued. • Builders who's site is excessively dirty will be identified so the developers can determine if they want to pass the additional cost of cleaning the streets on to them or not. A site that is considered excessive is one where mechanical equipment is needed to remove dirt prior to it being swept. In addition, the building inspectors will order the builder to clean the street if it is excessively dirty and will deny inspections if the order is not followed. • The policies listed will be placed on lots in new plats. Builders will still be required to erect silt fence on existing lots, unless the plat has sod in place next to the curb. Enforcement of clean up in front of existing lots will continue to be the denial of inspections. However, rock driveways will no longer be required unless the lot has a steep grade to the street. This recommended policy is realistic about the fact dirt is going to find its way to the streets and that home construction requires a lot to be accessed from more than one point. This policy also still protects the storm sewer systems and clearly identifies who is responsible for what. The Planning, Street, and Building and Zoning Departments all endorse the recommended changes to the erosion control policies. In addition, staff sought input •
