§ 7-21. As-built grading survey.

Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, an as-built grading survey is required. An as-built grading survey is defined as a lot survey showing the elevations of the lot after construction of the building structure and prior to sodding the lot. In lieu of an as-built grading survey, the building official may issue a certificate of occupancy provided that a $1,500.00 escrow fee has been submitted. The escrow fee shall be returned to the permit applicant, without interest, upon successful completion and submission to the city of all of the following:

(1)

An as-built grading survey, signed by a licensed engineer or land surveyor and certified that the grades and elevations are in conformance with the city-approved grading plan and that permanent iron monuments are in place at each lot corner.

(2)

City staff review of the submitted as-built grading survey to assure that all final grades match the approved grading plan for the development, to within a tolerance of 0.2 feet.
