A grading or building permit may not be issued for any parcel
or lot unless final erosion and sediment control and stormwater management
plans have been approved by the Department of Public Works as meeting
all the requirements of the Design Manual and this chapter. Where
appropriate, a building permit may not be issued without:
A. Recorded easements for the stormwater management facility and easements
to provide adequate access for inspection and maintenance from a public
right-of-way;
B. A recorded stormwater management maintenance agreement as described in §
465-25 of this chapter; and

VII of this chapter.
Nonrefundable permit fees will be collected at each phase of
stormwater management plan submittal. Permit fees will provide for
the cost of plan review, administration and management of the permitting
process, and inspection of all projects subject to this chapter. A
permit fee schedule shall be established by the Department of Public
Works based upon the relative complexity of the project and may be
amended from time to time.
Any grading or building permit issued by the Department of Public
Works may be suspended or revoked after written notice is given to
the permittee for any of the following reasons:
A. Any violation(s) of the conditions of the stormwater management plan
approval;
B. Changes in site runoff characteristics upon which an approval or
waiver was granted;
C. Construction is not in accordance with the approved plan;
D. Noncompliance with correction notice(s) or stop-work order(s) issued
for the construction of any stormwater management practice; and
E. An immediate danger exists in a downstream area in the opinion of
the Department of Public Works.
In granting an approval for any phase of site development, the
Department of Public Works may impose such conditions that may be
deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of this
chapter and the preservation of public health and safety.
