No person, firm or corporation shall change the grade of any
land in the Borough of Collingdale and/or perform any excavation therein
without first obtaining a permit from the Building Inspector of the
Borough of Collingdale.
The application for such permit shall be accompanied by a plan
approved by the Borough Engineer, which plan will demonstrate, along
with the building plans, that such proposed change of grade will not
cause damage to adjoining and adjacent property owners by reason of
drainage of surface or subsurface waters. Any such grade change and/or
excavation shall maintain the topography in the surrounding areas.
Application for such permit shall be further accompanied by
a permit fee as established from time to time by resolution of Council
and payable to the Borough of Collingdale.
The granting of such permit shall not impose liability on the
Borough of Collingdale, and the granting of any such permit shall
constitute an indemnification by the permittee to indemnify and save
harmless the Borough of Collingdale from any claims or damages caused
by reason of the change of grade and/or excavation, and the liability
for any such change of grade shall remain the sole responsibility
of the permittee.
