1502.080. FAILURE TO COMPLY. The Council may, for failure of any person to comply with any requirement made of him in writing under the provisions of such permit, as promptly as same can reasonably be done, proceed to cause said require- ment to be complied with, and the cost of such work shall be taxed against the property whereon the excavation is located, or the City may, at its option, pro- ceed to collect such costs by an action against the person to whom such permit has been issued, and his superiors if a bond exists. 1502.090. COMPLETION OF OPERATION. (a) All excavation operations shall be completed within ninety (90) days of the issuance of the permit. Upon completion the permit holder shall notify the Building Official in writing of the date of completion. If additional time beyond the ninety (90) days is needed for completion, the permit holder may apply to the City and upon a satisfactory showing of need, the City Council may grant an extension of time. If such extension is granted, it shall be for a definite period and the Building Official shall issue an extension permit. Extensions shall not be granted in cases where the permit holder fails to show that good faith efforts were made to complete the excavation operation within ninety (90) days and that failure to complete the operation was due to circumstances beyond the permit holder's control, such as teamster's strike, unusually inclement weather, illness or other such valid and reasonable excuse for noncompletion. In the event a request for an extension is denied, the permit holder shall be allowed a reasonable time to comply with the other provisions of this Section relating to grading, leveling and seeding or sodding. What constitutes such "reasonable time" shall be determined by the City Engineer after inspecting the premises. (b), At the completion of an excavation, the premises shall be graded, leveled, and seeded or sodded with grass. The grade shall be such elevation with reference to any abutting street or public way as the Engineer shall prescribe in the permit. The site shall also conform to such prerequisites as the Engineer may determine with reference to storm water drainage runoff and storm water passage or flowage so that the excavation cannot become a source of, or an aggravation to, storm water drainage conditions in the area. The Engineer shall inspect the project following completion to determine if the applicant has complied with the conditions required of him." 10
