The provisions of this chapter shall apply to any construction activity, public or private, including work performed by the City, which involves the clearing, grading or movement of earth within any dedicated public street right-of-way in the City. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to normal street repairs or small construction projects in which the amount of disturbed area lying within a public street right-of-way is less than 5,000 square feet or 100 cubic yards.
For the purposes of this chapter, the soil conservation standards currently in effect in the county regulating similar clearing, grading and construction operations within the county generally are hereby made effective within the City to regulate construction within any public street right-of-way.

The designated appointee shall immediately notify the permittee, in writing, of any exceptions to the approved plan noted in his inspection and shall specify a reasonable number of days in which the work must be corrected to conform to the plan. A final inspection shall be made by the designated appointee. In addition to any other permit fees and charges, the City may charge an additional fee in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of such inspections by the designated appointee.

No person shall fail to take directed corrective action within the time specified by the designated appointee of the City.
