A. All projects with a clearing and grading permit are subject to city inspections to ensure compliance with the permit. As a condition of permit issuance, the applicant must grant right of entry for such inspections and city emergency corrective measures.

B. At a minimum, city inspections are required before clearing, grading, or construction and during construction to verify proper installation and maintenance of required erosion and sediment controls, and upon completion of construction. The director will specify other stages of work when city inspection is required. The director may also require inspection and testing by an approved testing agency, to be paid by the applicant.

C. The director shall specify inspection and testing requirements applicable to a given project prior to permit issuance; however, the director may require additional inspection, testing, or professional analysis and recommendations when conditions exist that were not covered in the permit application documents or were not sufficiently known at the time of permit issuance.

D. The permittee must give the director at least 24 hours of advance notice prior to needed inspections. Inspections will be scheduled for the next working day after receiving the request, except if the notice is received on Friday, the inspection will be scheduled for Tuesday. If the city does not inspect the project within eight working hours of the scheduled inspection time, the permittee may proceed, but must still comply with all permit conditions and the requirements of this chapter.
