The regulations of grading and filling promote the protection
of environmental interests and protect the rights of adjacent property
owners. All grading and filling operations are to be closely reviewed
to protect the interests stated.
All lots where fill material is deposited shall have clean fill
and/or topsoil deposited which shall be graded to allow complete surface
drainage of the lot into local storm sewer systems or natural drainage
courses. No regrading of a lot shall be permitted which would create
or aggravate water stagnation or a drainage problem on-tract or on
adjacent properties, or which will violate the provisions of the soil
erosion and sediment control, soil removal and redistribution, and
floodplain provisions of this chapter. Grading shall be limited to
areas shown on an approved site plan or subdivision. Any topsoil disturbed
during approved excavation and grading operations shall be redistributed
throughout the site.
