CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASB INGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE 97-?1_7_5 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 503.13 AND 505.13 SUBDIVISIONS 1, 2 AND 3, AND ADDING SECTIONS 505.13 SUBDIVISIONS 3 AND 4. Section 1. Amendment: Section 505.13, 505.13 Subd 1, Section 505.13 Subd. 2, and Section 505.13, Subd. 3 are hereby amended and shall read as follows; to wit: 505.13. Construction Site Erosion Control Subd. 1. Purpose and Intent The City finds that construction sites where natural ground vegetation has been disturbed by construction activities are sources of erosion of and the depositing of sediment on adjoining properties, public streets, and in surface water conveyance and retention facilities. This erosion and sedimentation defaces the public streets; damages adjacent properties; and, reduces the designed capacity of surface water conveyance and retention facilities. The City finds that it is in the interest of the General Public Welfare to establish standards and regulations regarding the grading of building sites; and, the installation of and continual maintenance by builders and home owners of erosion control measures on those building sites, until such time as natural vegetation has been re-established over the disturbed areas of the building site. The standards and regulations found in this Section are intended to provide the City with the means to permit individual site grading in keeping with approved subdivision plat grading plans; to insure retention of sedimentation within the building site peripheries until the point in time that re- established surface vegetation precludes such sedimentation; and; to remove sedimentation originating from the site from public streets. Subd. 2 Site Gradin A. Submission Requirements. All applications for a Building Permit shall include a plot or site plan detailing the proposed finished grades of the site at all building comers and all lot comers. All grades proposed shall be consistent with the approved grading plan for the subdivision in which the building site is located. B. As Built Grades Certification. No Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued by the City for any structure until the builder or the property owner have provided the City with a Certificate of a Registered Surveyor or Civil Engineer attesting to the "as built" grades of all building comers and site comers; and, said Certificate shows all such grades to be consistent with the plot or site plan attached to the building permit application.
