<div dir="auto">Seems to me the permit clearly prohibited the new

enforcement officer I think we would have had them cease
activity and have them amend their original permit rather than
require individual permits for each lot (regarding the earth
removal only). </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">A 14-lot residential subdivision is
approved and the limits of earth removal include a
100’ perimeter buffer of “no earth removal” up to
abutting property lines. Over time, the roadway is
built, a bond established, the earth removal permit is
closed out, and all lots are released. Now, the
builder seems to be removing earth all the way to the
back lot lines, completely disregarding the 100’
buffer previously established for the roadway
construction. The claim is, the new earth removal is
incidental<a

</a> to home construction which, is consistent with
building code. However, it’s an ENORMOUS amount of
earth removal, maybe 20,000-30,000 cy per lot. I
would love to have individual earth removal permits
for each house lot, but is that a stretch? Curious if
other communities have run into this and how it was
handled. Thank you in advance for your responses.</p>
