Permits - Landscape Guidelines

In order to process your landscape permit the following information must accompany the permit application.

1.  "As Built'' final grade survey that identifies the final grades established by the builder. This survey is necessary so the Building Department can check the "as built'' to verify that the grades are in conformance with the engineered plan of the subdivision. The General Contractor is responsible for this survey. However, it may not have been available at closing due to wet soils conditions. That would have restricted the General Contractor from establishing the final grades. Please secure a copy from your General Contractor and submit with your permit application.
 

2.  Identify on the plat of survey location of drainage swales, size of swales and direction of storm water runoff.
 

3.  Identify on the plat of survey location of planting areas and distances from lot lines. Planting area/berms may not encroach into drainage swales. All drainage swales must be grass - no mulch, rock etc.
 

4. If grade adjustments are required as defined on the as-built survey it will be the responsibility of the General Contractor to grade accordingly. A landscape permit or irrigation permit will not be issued until grades are established in accordance with the drainage plans of the subdivision.
