(a) The issuance of a grading permit shall constitute an authorization to do only that work which is described on the permit and on the plans and specifications approved by the director of public works.

(c) In granting any permit, the director of public works may attach such conditions as may be reasonably necessary to prevent creation of a nuisance or hazard to public or private property. Such conditions may include, but shall not be limited to: (1) Improvement of any existing grading to bring it up to the standards of this chapter; (2) Requirements for fencing of excavations or fills which otherwise would be hazardous; (3) Screen planting, landscaping, erosion control planting, or other treatments to maintain good appearance of graded area and reduce the detrimental impact on adjacent properties of the community; (4) Cleaning up the area; and (5) Days and hours of operation.

(a) Every grading or grubbing permit shall expire and become void unless the work permitted herein is started within ninety days after the date of issuance or within ninety days after the completion date specified thereon but not later than one year after the date of issuance. Extension of time may be granted if, in the judgment of the director of public works, the work authorized under the permit would not be exceeded. In such cases, no additional fee will be imposed. (b) Every stockpiling permit shall expire and become void one year after the date of issuance. All stockpiled material temporarily stored on the premises shall be removed from the premises or used on the premises as fill material under a grading permit for fill prior to the expiration date. Extension of time may be granted if, in the judgment of the director of public works, the work authorized under the permit would not be exceeded. In such cases, no additional fee will be imposed.
