Latest version.
  • The Council may impose additional conditions on the permit and the operation of any excavation site if it deems it necessary for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the city. These may include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
    (A) That the permittee properly fence any excavation site, or portion of any excavation site, which may be a hazard or create a danger to the public.
    (B) That the applicant or owner submit a landscape screening plan and provide such screening consisting of natural shrubbery or other device as the Council deems appropriate.
    (C) On completion of the operation, the applicant shall properly drain and level any excavation and restore the contour of the site to a condition as indicated on the plan submitted and approved by the Council.
    (D) The permittee shall remove any extracted material abandoned upon or along the highways, streets or other public ways in the city, as the City Engineer shall direct and order.
    (E) The permittee shall submit to the Council, a detailed map of the highways, streets, roads and other public ways within the city upon and along which the material removed shall be transported. The City Engineer shall inspect such roads proposed to be used by the permittee and shall recommend to the Council necessary upgrading or repairing of such roads prior to their use as routes for the hauling of material excavated. The Council may designate city roads and incorporate the recommendations of the Engineer into the permit issued. The permittee shall be responsible for any damage to those roads caused by its operations.
    (F) The permittee shall submit in writing to the Council, the estimated quantity of material to be removed, the anticipated route over which trucks will travel, the beginning and completion of time for operation, and the area of the pit which will be used for excavation during that 12-month period. It is understood that while the information may not be able to be submitted with certainty, the permittee must make his or her best estimate of the removal operation. If the quantity of material to be removed is for any reason likely to significantly exceed the original estimated amount, the permittee shall notify the city of such change in estimated quantity as soon as such information is available to it.
    (G) In the event that a development plan is submitted which anticipates a lake about which lots will be platted, the lake must be planned for at least a 15-foot depth. Any development plan indicating a lake development shall provide a means for level control or computations which proves that the lake can contain drainage directly to it by free board storage utilizing a 100-year storm.
    (H) Within a period of three months after the termination of operation of any excavation, or within three months after abandonment of such operation or within three months after expiration of a permit hereunder, the permittee, or owner of the premises shall dismantle all buildings and structures incidental to the excavation permit.
