On parcels on which construction is taking place, the property owner <br />shall be responsible to contain all rubbish, debris and excess construction material within the <br />construction site. <br /> <br />(B) Removal of debris. <br /> <br />(I) The property owner is responsible to remove all rubbish, debris and excess construction <br />material from the construction site bi-weekly. <br /> <br />(2) In the event the property owner fails to contain or remove rubbish, debris or excess <br />construction material, the city shall be authorized to clean the premises and the property owner shall be <br />responsible for the costs thereof. <br /> <br />(C) Site maintenance deposit. <br /> <br />(1) A site maintenance deposit shall be placed in escrow to the city at the time that a building <br />permit is issued. The escrow charges shall be established according to the annual fee schedule <br />approved by City Council. <br /> <br />(2) Contingent upon no city action being required to monitor and/or clean the site, the escrow <br />amount as established per the annual fee schedule shall be refunded to the individual/company that <br />originally supplied the escrow deposit along with the building permit, less an administrative fee also <br />established per the annual fee schedule, at the time that construction on the parcel has ceased, and the <br />construction site is free of rubbish, debris and excess construction materials. <br /> <br />(D) Payment or assessment of costs. <br /> <br />(I) The cost for any action taken by the city to monitor or clean the site will be deducted <br />from the maintenance deposit. Should the costs for city action exceed the escrow deposit established <br />by the fee schedule, the property owner will be billed for the excess. <br /> <br />(2) A certificate of occupancy will not be issued for newly constructed buildings until this <br />bill is paid in full. <br /> <br />(3) Periodically, the Administrator shall list the total unpaid charges for monitoring and <br />removal of rubbish, debris or excess construction materials against each separate lot or parcel to which <br />they are attributable under this section. The City Council may then spread the assessment charges <br />against the property benefitted as a special assessment under M.S. ~ 429.101, as amended, and other <br />pertinent statutes for certification to the County Auditor and collection along with the current taxes the <br />following year. <br /> <br />(4) A fee established by the annual fee schedule for final site inspection shall be retained by <br />the city. <br />(Ord. 52, passed 6-12-1991; Am.
