(01) All residential landscaping requirements shall be completed prior to occupancy of the dwelling unit, or by June 1 following occupancy if occupancy occurs October 15 through May 31.

The City may also require a deposit as part of the building permit fee to secure compliance with the landscaping requirements. 14. Surface and Groundwater Management. (01) Dewatering. Due to the variable nature of groundwater levels and stormwater flows, it will be the Developer’s and the Developer’s contractors and subcontractors responsibility to satisfy themselves with regard to the elevation of groundwater in the area and the level of effort needed to perform dewatering and storm flow routing operations. All dewatering shall be in accordance with all applicable county, state, and federal rules and regulations. DNR regulations regarding appropriations permits shall also be strictly followed.
