§ 13.16.190. Creek protection permit—Conditions for issuance.  


Latest version.
  • In granting a creek protection permit, the Chief of Building Services may attach such conditions thereto as he/she deems reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this chapter, including without limitations, protecting the creek, the riparian corridor and vegetation, safeguarding life, public and private property, and to assure all development or work is carried out in an orderly manner in conformance with all regulations and without creating a public nuisance; and he/she may add to, remove, or change such conditions from time to time during the duration of the permit as deemed reasonably necessary as a result of changed conditions or otherwise.

    At the discretion of the Chief of Building Services, a permit may be withheld until the applicant has posted security in an amount satisfactory to the Chief of Building Services for either the faithful performance of the development or work or the cost of removing the development or work or otherwise reconstructing or restoring a creek to conditions existing prior to such development or work in the event of default on the part of the permittee. Said security shall be in the form of cash, a certified or cashier's check, performance bond, or an irrevocable letter of credit.
