The City's choice of one enforcement remedy does not prevent the use of other available remedies. A person receiving a notice of violation may appeal. Notice of appeal must be received by the city within five working days from the date of the notice of violation. A hearing on the appeal before the City Council must occur within 15 days from the date of the receipt of the notice of appeal. The City's decision is final. If the violation has not been corrected pursuant to the notice of violation or within 3 days of the City's decision on appeal, then the City is authorized to take any and all measures necessary to abate the violation and/or restore the property. The City may assess the costs for abatement by notifying the property owner of the cost within 30 days after abatement of the violation. The property owner then has 10 calendar days to file a written protest to the amount. If the amount is not paid in a timely manner it will become a special assessment against the property and will constitute a lien. EXCEPTIONS. Discharges relating to: water line flushing; landscape irrigation; rising ground water; uncontaminated pumped ground water; foundation or footing drains; crawl space pumps; air conditioning condensation; natural springs; non- commercial washing of vehicles; dechlorinated swimming pools; fire fighting activities; dye testing (with notice to the City); NPDES permitted discharges; and other discharges specified in writing by the City as being necessary to protect public health and safety. 3. Good Housekeeping Provisions. Owners and occupants of property within the City may not discharge or otherwise expose any chemical or septic waste in an area where discharge to streets or the storm drain system may occur. Objects containing grease, oil, or other hazardous substances cannot be stored in areas susceptible to runoff. Hazardous wastes must be disposed of properly, and hazardous household waste must not be placed in regular trash containers. Residential water runoff must be minimized. Water runoff from washing paved areas in commercial or industrial property is prohibited unless necessary for health or safety. D. The City must review the stormwater management plan. Plans meeting the requirements of this ordinance entitle the owner to a permit valid for a period of one year authorizing the land disturbance activity. Insufficient plans will be denied, and must be resubmitted and approved before the activity may begin. All land use and building permits on the property must be suspended until the approval of the stormwater plan. E. Modification of Plan. An approved stormwater plan may be modified by submitting and an application for modification to the City. In reviewing the application, the City may require additional reports and data.
