The following standards shall apply to all applications for "Excavation and Fill Permits":
A. Water Bodies. Creation of water bodies. In instances involving the creation of water bodies as a result of excavating materials, work shall comply with the requirements of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) except the city may impose more stringent requirements when judged to be in the public interest. Those requirements include but are not limited to littoral and upland plantings in accordance with Chapter 4, Article II, Section 4.A.9.
All water bodies such as lakes, canals, and other stormwater detention areas used for stormwater management shall be placed in water management tracts shown on recordable documents and dedicated to the entity responsible for their maintenance. All water management tracts shall be constructed in accordance with city standards.
The ownership and maintenance responsibility for drainage facilities, including lakes, shall be clearly stated in documents recorded in the County Clerk's records. Official copies of the recorded documents will be given to the city prior to issuance of a certificate of completion.
B. Inspections. In connection with the administration of this section, inspections shall be requested by the developer as prescribed by the City Engineer.
C. Reports. A certified report shall be submitted each month by the applicant's Florida registered engineer.
Each report shall certify that the work is (or is not) conforming with the requirements of the permit. If the work is not in conformance, then the report must list each item of work not consistent with the stipulations of the permit and the remedial action that the engineer has taken concerning each item.
D. Mitigation. If building construction on the site is to be delayed more than sixty (60) days after the site is cleared or partially cleared, all disturbed portions of the site shall be seeded and mulched as described in Chapter 4, Article I, Section 4.E. The intention of this paragraph is to provide adequate ground cover to all portions of a disturbed site until permanent ground cover is installed.
The applicant shall control blowing sand, dust and other airborne particulate matter during clearing, grubbing, excavation and filling and until such time as permanent ground cover is installed. All Melaleuca, Brazilian Pepper and Australian Pine which occurs on the site shall be removed.
E. Archeological Artifacts. Construction must immediately cease upon discovery of archeological artifacts, and certified notification must be forwarded within twenty-four (24) hours to the Division of Archives, History and Records Management, Florida Department of State. Artifacts must be protected by the developer to the satisfaction of the division prior to recommencement of construction in the immediate area of the discovery.
