control plan, the presence of a police detail at the applicant's expense,
dust/debris mitigation requirements, and/or procurement of insurance

of demolition permit fees.
Any person, firm or corporation issued a demolition permit shall
clean the lot subject to demolition activities within 30 days of demolition.
The cleaning shall include clearing and appropriate disposal of all
