A. 
A permit required by this Article shall be issued and shall remain in force only upon compliance with the following requirements:
1. 
Adequate provision shall be made to prevent any surface water from damaging the cut-face and excavation of the sloping surface of a fill.
2. 
All drainage provisions shall be of such design as to carry surface water to the nearest practical storm drain, natural watercourse, or street approved by the Building Official as a suitable place to deposit and receive such water.
3. 
No excavation or grading shall be made so close to the property line as to endanger any adjoining public or private street without supporting and protecting such public or private street of property from settling, cracking or other damage.
4. 
No fill shall be made so as to cause or to allow the same to be deposited upon or to roll, flow or wash upon or over the premises of another without the express written consent of the owner of such premises so effected, or upon or over any public street, walk, place or way; nor so close to the top of a bank of a channel as to create the possibility of bank failure and sliding.
5. 
Limitation on the use of various kinds of materials. Frozen material or soft, mucky, friable, easily compressible materials shall not be incorporated in fills intended to support buildings, structures, sewers or conduits, or in the embanked ends of fills.
6. 
Timber, logs, trees, brush, vegetable matter and rubbish of any description shall be removed and disposed of so as to leave the disturbed area with a neat and finished appearance.
7. 
All slopes shall be brought to finished grade.
8. 
All excavated areas and fill areas including areas of piles of dirt, shall be graded smooth to uniform slopes concurrent with excavation and/or filling operations. The portion of the areas no longer being excavated or filled shall be seeded and maintained.

Every permit under this Article shall expire at the end of the period of time set out in the permit. If the permittee shall be unable to commence or to complete the work within the specified time, he/she shall, prior to the expiration date, present in writing to the Building Official a request for an extension of time, setting forth the reasons for the requested extension.

[R.O. 2006 §510.170; CC 1985 §21-50; Ord. No. 64 §§40.810, 40.900, 1-15-1985]

3. 
Existence of any condition or the doing of any act constituting a nuisance or endangering lives or properties of others.
B.

C. 
Written notice of any of the above designated violations or conditions shall be served upon the holder of the permit or his/her agent engaged in the work.

All such expenses incurred in such restoration shall be recovered from the bond required under the terms of this Article.
