A grading or building permit may not be issued for any parcel
or lot unless a final erosion and sediment control plan has been approved
by the Caroline County Soil Conservation District (SCD) and the stormwater
management plan has been approved by the Town 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 for the Town, with maintenance by the Town performed only as necessary to address the failure of the owner to do so as provided in §
106-26 of this chapter;
B. Recorded easements for the stormwater management facility and easements
to provide any known person who will have future maintenance responsibilities
adequate access for maintenance from a public right-of-way;
C. A recorded stormwater management maintenance agreement as described in §
106-25 of this chapter; and
D. A performance bond as specified in Article
V 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 Town based upon the
relative complexity of the project and may be amended from time to
time.
Any grading or building permit issued by the Town 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 the stormwater management practice; and
E. An immediate danger exists in a downstream area in the opinion of
the Town.
In granting an approval for any phase of site development, the
Town may impose such conditions that may be deemed necessary to ensure
compliance with the provisions of this chapter and the preservation
of the public health and safety.
