(a) Construction
sites that do not provide permanent restroom facilities shall provide
a portable water closet at all times during periods of active construction
and while any permits are active. Portable water closets shall be
located in the rear of the property if accessible. When the rear of
the property is not accessible by alley or street, portable water
closets are permitted to be located within the front yard but shall
be placed a minimum twenty (20) feet from the front property line.

(a) All
contractors and subcontractors shall prevent the dispersal of trash
and debris from a project site by providing appropriate waste containers
on-site and by daily clean-ups of such debris on the project site
and off the project site when such debris has migrated from the site.
Other construction debris created by the project shall be cleaned
up daily and deposited in appropriate waste containers or otherwise
removed from the site. Construction debris from other project sites
controlled by a contractor or a property owner shall not be brought
to another project site or owned property under the control of the
contractor or property owner for the purposes of disposal in any type
of waste container that may be located on the latter site. Any waste
container set out on a project site shall be removed from the site
within five (5) working days of the completion of the project for
which the waste container was placed on such site. Each project that
may occur on a construction site is considered to be a separate project
for the purposes of this subsection. Construction dumpsters and/or
trash receptacles shall be placed at a construction site only during
active periods of permitted construction and shall be placed in a
location on the property that is outside the city's paved right-of-way,
obscured from the public view where practical, and shall not obstruct
visibility from any street, alley, or driveway intersections.
(b) All
contractors and subcontractors shall control the potential dispersal
of particulate material and noxious or nuisance fumes occurring on
a project site, and to minimize their effects on persons outside of
the limits of the project site.
(c) All
contractors and subcontractors, before creating a potential dispersal
of particulate material or noxious or nuisance fumes, shall endeavor
to familiarize themselves with potential concerns of the surrounding
neighborhood and advise those with respiratory and other medical problems
that might be adversely affected by particulate material and noxious
or nuisance fumes of the approximate time that such potential dispersal
will be occurring so that they might remove themselves from the affected
area, stay indoors or take other appropriate steps to reduce the impact
of such dispersal on themselves.
