of erosion and sedimentation shall be concurrent with the approval of the
final plans of mobile home park development, and become a part thereof.
(6) During site construction, further inspection and consultative
technical assistance may be required by the Governing Body, to be accomplished
by the County Conservation District or other qualified agency or professional
contractor. All costs for such assistance shall be paid by the developer.
