Community Development Supervisor Kayla Cornett addressed the Board -Richard and I discussed our drainage and earth work permits that we have -making sure regulations are correct -building permit covers earth change from commercial standpoint -developers don’t wait to receive this before moving dirt even though they are supposed to -City normally tries to play nice and let person know they need to come in and get permit to do work  -if they don’t we send a letter requesting or write a complaint with the Court -once drainage plan received it goes to engineer for review -requiring them to get earth change prior to building permit would just depend on instance -for example subdivision vs. private 5 acres Chairman Richard Felton addressed the Board -earth change permit only being issued to private homeowners -is ordinance clear enough to require commercial contractors to apply -would require them to turn in their drainage plan ahead of time -does every developer wait for building permit to do earth change -if someone doesn’t pull permit and does major dirt work what are repercussions -would it be easier to require them to get the earth change prior to building permit -put on next agenda and have City Inspector John Moore here for questions 5.
