Notary Public MARY ANN CARLSON NOTARY PUBLIC — MINNESOTA MY COMMISSION EXPIRES 1 -31 -14 ORDINANCE NO. 2009-02 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 3 OF THE NEW HOPE CITY CODE BY ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS TO SECURE VACANT BUILDINGS The City Council of the City of New Hope ordains: Section l . Section 3 -34 "Vacant Buildings" of the New Hope City Code is hereby added to read as follows: Sec. 3 -34. Vacant Buildings (a) P=ose. The purpose of this Section, pursuant to the authority of Minn. Stat. §463.251, is to regulate vacant and hazardous dwellings and buildings in order to enhance the livability and preserve the tax base and property values of buildings within the City by assuring that vacant buildings that are capable of rehabilitation are adequately secured to prevent further dilapidation and those buildings that are not capable of rehabilitation are promptly demolished. (b) Findings The City Council finds, determines and declares that buildings which remain vacant and unoccupied for an unreasonable period of time become an attractive nuisance to children, a harborage for rodents, an invitation to derelicts, vagrants and criminals as a temporary abode and an increased fire hazard; that the owners of such buildings may permit the buildings to become dilapidated since the buildings are often economically obsolete and the owners of such buildings are unwilling to expend the necessary funds to secure the buildings; that such buildings contribute to the growth of blight within the City, depress market values of surrounding properties, require additional government services, constitute an unreasonable use and condition to the annoyance, discomfort and repose of a considerable number of the public, and thus may constitute a nuisance condition. Adequate protection of the public health, safety and welfare, therefore, requires the establishment and enforcement of the means by which such nuisance conditions may be abated. (c) Securing Vacant Buildings (1) Notice and order. In general, if any building becomes vacant or unoccupied and is deemed hazardous due to the fact that the building is open to trespass and has not been secured and the building could be made safe by securing the building, the City Manager or the Building Official or their designated representatives may order the building secured and shall cause notice of the order to be served upon the owner of the premises or the owner's agent, the taxpayer identified in the property tax records for the parcel, the holder of the mortgage or sheriff's certificate and any neighborhood association for the neighborhood in which the building is located that has requested notice. Such notice may be served personally or by mail. Service by mail is completed upon mailing a copy of the order to the parties designated herein, by first class mail, at their last known address. (2) Securing building by ci • lien If the owner fails to comply with or provide a reasonable —1— plan and schedule to comply with the order within six (6) days after the order is served, the building shall be boarded up or otherwise properly secured. Whenever a building is boarded up pursuant to the authority of this Section, all openings to the building shall be boarded and secured. In securing the building, any reasonable action may be taken to insure that the gas, electric and water utilities serving the building are in an appropriate condition so as not to contribute any further damages to the property during the period that the building remains vacant and unoccupied. (3) Emergencies When it is determined by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee that an emergency exists with respect to the health or safety of persons in the community, and an immediate boarding and securing of a building is required, and where danger will exist to children, transients or others or the building itself in the absence of an immediate boarding or securing of the building, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee may waive all requirements herein and immediately cause the building to be boarded or otherwise secured, provided that: a. The conditions showing the existence of an emergency are documented by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee, and b. Notice is mailed immediately by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee invoking this Section to the last known address of the owner of the premises or the owner's agent, the taxpayer identified in the property tax records for the parcel, the holder of the mortgage or sheriff's certificate and any neighborhood association for the neighborhood in which the building is located that has requested notice, of the date of the boarding or otherwise securing of the property and the reasons therefore. (d) Re- securing building. After a vacant or unoccupied building has been boarded or otherwise secured under this Section, should the owner fail to maintain the building in a secured condition until such time as it has been repaired and occupied, the City shall re- secure any openings into the building whenever it becomes open to trespass, without further notice to owner of the premises or the owner's agent, the taxpayer identified in the property tax records for the parcel, the holder of the mortgage or sheriff's certificate and any neighborhood association. (e) Collection of costs All costs incurred by the City for boarding or otherwise securing a building under this Section, including, but not limited to the actual costs for boarding, inspecting, posting, administration and monitoring the building shall be the responsibility of the owner. Payment of the costs incurred by the City shall be due within thirty (30) days of such notification. Upon default of payment after the thirty (30) day notification period, the costs shall be levied and collected as a special assessment against the property pursuant to the authority of Minn. Stat. §463.21. Section 2 . Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be effective upon its passage and publication. —2— Dated the 23 day of March, 2009.

Kathi Hemken, Mayor Attest: Valerie Leone, City Clerk (Apr. 2, 2009) p2 -Ord 09 -02 Notary Public MARY ANN CARLSON NOTARY PUBLIC — MINNESOTA MY COMMISSION EXPIRES 1 -31 -14 �i'+ ORDINANCE NO. 2009-03 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2 OF THE NEW HOPE CITY CODE BY ESTABLISHING AN ADMINISTRATIVE FINES ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM The City Council of the City of New Hope ordains: Section 1. Section 2 -60 "Administrative Fines Enforcement Program" of the New Hope City Code is hereby added to read as follows: Sec. 2 -60. Administrative Fines Enforcement Program (a) Administrative citations and civil penalties Sections 2 -60(d) through 2 -60(i) shall govern administrative citations and civil penalties for violations of this code. (b) Pu rpose . The City Council finds that there is a need for alternative methods of enforcing the city code. While criminal fines and penalties have been the most frequent enforcement mechanism, there are certain negative consequences for both the city and the accused. The delay inherent in that system does not ensure prompt resolution. Citizens resent being labeled as criminals for violations of administrative regulations. The higher burden of proof and the potential of incarceration do not appear appropriate for most administrative violations. The criminal process does not always regard city code violations as being important. Accordingly, the city council finds that the use of administrative citations and the imposition of civil penalties is a legitimate and necessary alternative method of enforcement. This method of enforcement is in addition to any other legal remedy that may be pursued for city code violations. (c) General provisions Administrative offense. A violation of any provision of the city code is an administrative offense that may be subject to an administrative citation and civil penalties. Each day a violation exists constitutes a separate offense. 2. Exemption Alcohol and tobacco license violations are not subject to administrative citation under section 2 -60 of this code. See New Hope Code sections 8 -7(f) and 10- 82 for administrative sanctions relating to tobacco and alcohol license violations. 3. Civilpenalty An administrative offense may be subject to a civil fine not to exceed the maximum fine for a misdemeanor violation under state law. 4. Schedule of fines and fees The City Council shall adopt by resolution a schedule of fines for offenses initiated by administrative citation. The city council is not bound by that schedule when a matter is appealed to it for administrative review under section —1— 2 -60(g) of this code. The City Council may adopt a schedule of fees to be paid to administrative hearing officers. (d) Administrative citation procedures Administrative notice a. Upon the first violation, the city will issue an administrative notice to the violator. The city will deliver the administrative notice to the violator in person or by regular mail. The violator will have seven calendar days to correct the violation after issuance of the administrative notice. b. If the violator is making a good faith attempt to remedy the violation, the city may grant an extension, the length of which must be agreed upon in writing between the city and the violator. 2. Administrative citation If the violator fails to correct the violation within the time period provided in the Administrative Notice, the city may issue an administrative citation. The city must issue the citation to the violator in person or by certified and regular mail. In the case of a vehicular offense, the citation may be attached to the motor vehicle. The citation must state the date, time, and nature of the offense, the name of the issuing officer, the amount of the scheduled fine, and the manner for paying the fine or appealing the citation. 3. Payment The violator must either pay the scheduled fine or request a hearing within seven days after issuance of the citation. Penalties for failure to correct the violation or late payment of the fine may be imposed as set forth in section 2- 60(h)(4) of this code. The city may issue a second citation or take other legal action to achieve compliance with the ordinances. (e) Administrative hearing 1. Hearing officers The City Council will periodically approve a list of qualified individuals, from which the city clerk will randomly select a hearing officer to hear and determine a matter for which a hearing is requested. The hearing officer will be a public officer as defined by Minn. Stat. §609.415. The hearing officer must not be a city employee. The city clerk must establish a procedure for evaluating the competency of the hearing officers, including comments from accused violators and city staff. These reports must be provided to the City Council. 2. Removal of hearing officer No later than five days before the date of the hearing, the violator may make a written request that the assigned hearing officer be removed from the case. The city clerk will automatically grant one request for removal. A —2— subsequent request must be directed to the assigned hearing officer who will decide whether they can fairly and objectively review the case. If the hearing officer determines they cannot fairly and objectively review the case, the hearing officer shall notify the city clerk in writing at least one day before the scheduled hearing date. The city clerk will then assign another hearing officer. 3. Notice of hearing Within 30 days of the request for a hearing, the city clerk will schedule the hearing and will notify the violator and involved city staff of the date, time and place for the hearing. Parties are expected to be available at the hearing for a minimum of two hours. Notice of the hearing must be mailed to the violator and the hearing officer at least ten days in advance of the scheduled hearing, unless a shorter time is accepted by all parties. The notice must contain the names of the parties, the identity. of the hearing officer, the location of the alleged violation and the type of violation alleged. 4. Continuance A request for a continuance must be made to the city clerk at least five days prior to the scheduled hearing date. The city clerk may grant a continuance at the request of the violator or the city staff member only for good cause shown and for no more than ten days from the originally assigned date. 5. File transmittal a. Upon receipt of any request for a hearing, the city clerk's office will compile a summary report detailing the facts in support of any determination that the offense constitutes a violation. The summary report will include the following information: i. copy of the citation issued; ii. copy of the Administrative Notice, which preceded the citation; iii. copy of any case history in the issuing employee's department; iv. photographs and/or videotape of property where available; v. proof of mailing and /or posting of notice on the property if the citation was not personally served on the violator. b. The file must be ready for the hearing officer to pick up on the business day preceding the scheduled hearing. 6. Presentation of case At the hearing, the parties will have the opportunity to present testimony and question any witnesses, but strict rules of evidence will not apply. The hearing officer must tape record the hearing and receive testimony and exhibits. The hearing officer must receive and give weight to evidence, including hearsay evidence that possesses probative value commonly accepted by reasonable and prudent people in the conduct of their affairs. —3— 7. Decision. a. The hearing officer must issue a written decision containing findings of fact, conclusions of law and an order. The decision will be mailed to the parties within ten days after the hearing. The hearing officer has the authority to determine that a violation occurred, to dismiss a citation, to impose the scheduled fine, and to reduce, stay, or waive a scheduled fine either unconditionally or upon compliance with appropriate conditions. When imposing a penalty for a violation, the hearing officer may consider any or all of the following factors: i. duration of the violation; ii. frequency of reoccurrence of the violation; iii, seriousness of the violation; iv. history of the violation; v. violator's conduct after issuance of the administrative notice and citation; vi. violator's conduct after issuance of the notice of hearing; vii. good faith effort by the violator to comply; viii. impact of the violation upon the community; ix. prior record of city code violations; and x. any other factors appropriate to a just result. b. The hearing officer may not impose a fine greater than the established fine, except that the hearing officer may impose a fine for each week that the violation continues if: (i) the violation caused or is causing a serious threat of harm to the public health, safety, or welfare or (ii) the violator intentionally and unreasonably refused or refuses to comply with the code requirement. 8. Right of Appeal. Except as provided in sections 2 -60(f) and (g) of this code, the decision of the hearing officer is final without any further right of appeal. 9. Failure to appear The failure to attend the hearing constitutes a waiver of the violator's rights to an administrative hearing and an admission of the violation. A hearing officer may waive this result upon good cause shown. Examples of "good cause" are: death in the immediate family or documented incapacitating illness of the violator; a court order requiring the violator to appear for another hearing at the same time; and lack of proper service of the citation or notice of the hearing. "Good cause" does not include: forgetfulness; lack of transportation or child care; and intentional delay. M (f) Judicial review An aggrieved party may obtain judicial review of the decision of the hearing officer or the City Council as provided in state law. (g) Administrative review 1. Appeal A violator may appeal the hearing officer's decision in any of the following matters to the City Council for administrative review: a. an alleged failure to obtain a permit, license or other approval from the City Council as required by this code, county ordinance or state law; b. an alleged violation of a permit, license, other approval, or the conditions attached to the permit, license, or approval, that was granted by the City Council; or C. an alleged violation of regulations governing a person or entity who has received a license granted by the City Council. 2. Notice The appeal under this section will be heard by the City Council. Notice of the hearing must be delivered to the alleged violator or property owner and involved city staff, in person or by mail at least ten days in advance of the hearing. The parties to the hearing will have an opportunity to present oral or written arguments regarding the hearing officer's decision. 3. Decisions. The City Council must consider the record, the hearing officer's decision, and any additional arguments before making a determination. The City Council is not bound by the hearing officer's decision, but may adopt all or part of the officer's decision. The Council's decision must be in writing. 4. Suspension or revocation In addition to imposing a civil penalty, the Council may suspend or revoke a city- issued license, permit, or other approval associated with the violation. (h) Recovery of civil penalties 1. Non - payment If a civil penalty is not paid within the time specified: a. it may constitute a lien on the real property upon which the violation occurred if the property or improvements on the property was the subject of the violation and the property owner was found responsible for that violation; or b. it will be a personal obligation of the violator in all situations. —5— 2. Lien A lien may be assessed against the property and collected in the same manner as real taxes as authorized by Minnesota law. 3. Personal obligation A personal obligation may be collected by appropriate legal means. 4. Late fees /chafes. a. If after seven days the fine has not been paid or a hearing requested, the fine will increase by 10% for each seven days thereafter for one month. After four weeks and four late fee charges have been added to the original fine, the total bill will be assessed to the property taxes and all city licenses will be revoked. For continued violations, the city will correct the violation and assess the charges for doing so onto the property taxes or criminal charges may be filed. b. If the same property and property owner are charged with a subsequent violation within a 12 -month period for the same, or substantially similar offense, the fine will be increased by 25 %. After a third infraction in a 12- month period, the fine will increase by 50 %, and after a fourth infraction by 100 %. 5. License revocation or suspension Failure to pay a fine is grounds for suspending or revoking a license related to the violation. (i) Criminal penalties The following are misdemeanors, punishable in accordance with state law: a. Failure, without good cause, to pay a fine or request a hearing within 30 days after issuance of an administrative citation; b. Failure, without good cause, to appear at a hearing that was scheduled under section 2 -60(e) of this code; Failure to pay a fine imposed by a hearing officer within 30 days after it was imposed, or such other time as may be established by the hearing officer. 2. If the final adjudication in the administrative penalty procedure is a finding of no violation, then the city may not prosecute a criminal violation in district court based on the same set of facts. This does not preclude the city from pursuing a criminal conviction for a violation of the same provisions based on a different set of facts. A different date of violation will constitute a different set of facts. Section 2 . Effective Date This Ordinance shall be effective upon its passage and publication.

The Council hereby determines this summary ordinance clearly informs the public of the intent and effect of Ordinance No. 09 -03. 1. The title of Ordinance No. 09 -03 is " An Ordinance Amending Chapter 2 of the New Hope City Code Establishing An Administrative Fines Enforcement Program ". 2. Section 1 of the ordinance amends New Hope Code Chapter 2 by adding a new Section 2 -60 " Administrative Fines Enforcement Program and nine subsections of Section 2 -60 described as follows: a. subsection (a) " Administrative citations and civil penalties indicates administrative citations and fines will be governed by subsections (d) through (i) of section 2 -60. b. subsection (b) " Purpose " describes the reasons for the new code enforcement program. The City Council finds there is a need to decriminalize certain New Hope Code violations to more promptly and efficiently deal with local issues that cannot be effectively addressed in Hennepin County Criminal Court. c. Subsection (c) " General provisions indicates any violation of city code is an offense subject to administrative citation and fine. Certain violations like the illegal sale of alcohol or tobacco are exempt from section 2 -60 and covered by other enforcement sections of the New Hope Code The civil penalty for any administrative citation will not exceed the maximum fine for a misdemeanor violation under State law which is $1,000.00 and the City Council will establish a fine schedule by resolution for various administrative violations initiated by administrative citation under section 2 -60. d. subsection (d) " Administrative citation procedure establishes how and when citations will be issued by the City. The violator will first be issued a notice advising of the nature of the violation and given a 7 day grace period to remedy the violation or make appropriate arrangements with the City to resolve the violation. If the violator fails to remedy the violation an administrative citation will be issued for the violation. The citation will state the date, time and nature of the offense, the name of the issuing officer, the fine amount and how the fine can be paid or contested. The violator must pay the fine or request a hearing contesting the fine within 7 days otherwise the violator will be subject to late penalties and possible criminal prosecution. e. subsection (e) " Administrative hearing establishes the manner in which hearings shall be conducted on contested citations. The City shall retain a list of neutral hearing officer unaffiliated with the City to conduct the hearings. When a citation is properly contested the City Clerk will arrange a hearing date mutually agreeable between the violator, the hearing officer and the city inspector responsible for the citation and mail to each party a notice of hearing within 30 days of the violator's hearing request. This notice will contain the names of the parties and hearing officer, the location of the alleged violation and the type of violation. Once the hearing is scheduled it may only be continued for good cause upon 5 days notice to the City Clerk. A continuance, if granted, may not be for more than 10 days. The City Clerk will be responsible for transmitting the file to the hearing officer including a summary report containing a copy of the citation and administrative notice that preceded the citation, a copy of the case history, photographs or videotapes of the violation if any and proof of mailing or posting of the citation if not personally served on the violator. Presentation of the case before the hearing officer will be informal and the strict rules of evidence will not apply. However, the hearing will be tape recorded and the hearing officer will give appropriate weight to all probative evidence received at the hearing. The hearing officer shall issue a written decision containing findings of fact and conclusions of law within 10 days after the hearing. The hearing officer may not impose a fine greater than the amount established by the Council's fine resolution. The hearing officer's decision shall be final and non - appealable unless a judicial appeal is specifically permitted by state law or an administrative appeal is accepted by the City Council on a matter relating to a permit or license which initially came before the City Council for approval. f. subsections (f) and (g) " Judicial review and " Administrative review relate to the ability to appeal the hearing officer's decision as discussed above. If an administrative review is accepted by the City Council on a license or permit violation, the parties to the appeal will be able to present oral or written arguments to the City Council regarding the decision of the hearing officer. The appeal will be on the record without any new evidence to be considered by the City Council. The City Council will not be bound by the decision of the hearing officer and may revoke the license or permit in addition to imposing a fine. g. Subsection (h) " Recovery of civil penalties indicates all fines shall become the personal obligation of the violator and if the violation relates to real property, it will be a lien on the property collectable with real estate taxes against the real property if the fine is not paid in a timely manner. This section also provides for late fees and increased fines for repeat violations of a same or similar nature by the same violator within a 12 month period. h. Subsection (i) " Criminal penalties makes the failure to pay an administrative fine within 30 days from the issuance of an administrative citation a criminal misdemeanor offense punishable in accordance with state law. Failure to appear at a hearing without good cause or pay a fine imposed by a hearing officer within 30 days after its imposition is a misdemeanor offense as well. 3.

City of New Hope (Official Publication) SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 09 -03 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2 OFTHE NEW HOPE CITY CODE ESTABLISHING AN ADMINISTRATIVE FINES ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM The following summary of Ordinance No. 09 -03 is hereby approved this 27th day of April, 2009, by the New Hope City Council for official publication. The Council hereby determines this summary ordinance clearly in- forms the public of the intent and effect of Ordinance No. 09 -03, 1. The title of Ordinance No. 09 -03 is " Ordinance Amending Chapter 2 of the New Hope City Code Es- tablishing An Administrative Fines Enforcement Pro - rgam 2. Section 1 of the ordinance amends New Hope Code Chapter 2 by adding a new Section 2 -60 " Administra- tive Fines Enforcement Program and nine subsec- tions of Section 2 -60 described as follows: a. subsection (a) ' Administrative citations and civil penalties indicates administrative citations and fines will be governed by subsections (d) through (i) of section 2 -60. b. subsection (b) " Purpose " describes the reasons for the new code enforcement program. The City Council finds there is a need to decriminalize cer- tain New Hope Code violations to more promptly and efficiently deal with local issues that cannot be effectively addressed in Hennepin County Criminal Court. c. Subsection. (c) " General provisio indicates any violation of city code is an offense subject to ad- ministrative citation and fine. Certain violations like the illegal sale of alcohol or tobacco are ex- empt from section 2 -60 and covered by other en- forcement sections of the New Hope Code The civil penalty for any administrative citation will not exceed the maximum fine for a misdemeanor vio- lation under State law which is $1,000.00 and the City Council will establish a fine schedule by res- olution for various administrative violations initiat- ed by administrative citation under section 2 -60. d. subsection (d) " Administrative citation procedure establishes how and when citations will be issued by the City. The violator will first be issued a no- tice advising of the nature of the violation and given a 7 day grace period to remedy the violation or make appropriate arrangements with the City to resolve the violation. If the violator fails to rem- edy the violation an administrative citation will be issued for the violation. The citation will state the date, time and nature of the offense, the name of the issuing officer, the fine amount and how the fine can be paid or contested. The violator must pay the fine or request a hearing contesting the fine within 7 days otherwise the violator will be subject to late penalties and possible criminal prosecution. e. subsection (e) " Administrative hearing establish- es the manner in which hearings shall be con- ducted on contested citations. The City shall re- tain a list of neutral hearing officer unaffiliated with the City to conduct the hearings. When a citation is properly contested the City Clerk will arrange a hearing date mutually agreeable between the vi- olator, the hearing officer and the city inspector re- sponsible for the citation and mail to each party a notice of hearing within 30 days of the violator's hearing request. This notice will contain the names of the parties and hearing officer, the lo- cation of the alleged violation and the type of vio- lation. Once the hearing is scheduled it may only be continued for good cause upon 5 days notice to the City Clerk. A continuance, if granted, may not be for more than 10 days. The City Clerk will be responsible for transmitting the file to the hear- ing officer including a summary report containing a copy of the citation and administrative notice that preceded the citation, a copy of the case his- tory, photographs or videotapes of the violation if any and proof of mailing or posting of the citation if not personally served on the violator. Presenta- tion of the case before the hearing officer will be informal and the strict rules of evidence will not apply. However, the hearing will be tape recorded and the hearing officer will give appropriate weight to all probative evidence received at the hearing. The hearing officer shall issue a written decision containing findings of fact and conclu- sions of law within 10 days after the hearing. The hearing officer may not impose a fine greater than the amount established by the Council's fine res- olution.The hearing officer's decision shall be final and non - appealable unless a judicial appeal is specifically permitted by state law or an adminis- trative appeal is accepted by the City Council on a matter relating to a permit or license which ini- tially came before the City Council for approval. I. subsections (f) and (g) " Judicial review and "Ad- ministrative review relate to the ability to appeal the hearing officer's decision as discussed above. If an administrative review is accepted by the City Council on a license or permit violation, the par- ties to the appeal will be able to present oral or written arguments to the City Council regarding the decision of the hearing officer. The appeal will be on the record without any new evidence to be considered by the City Council. The City Council will not be bound by the decision of the hearing of- ficer and may revoke the license or permit in ad- dition to imposing a fine. g. Subsection (h) " Recovery of civil penalties indi- cates all fines shall become the personal obliga- tion of the violator and if the violation relates to real property, it will be a lien on the property col- lectable with real estate taxes against the real property if the fine is not paid in a timely manner. This section also provides for late fees and in- creased fines for repeat violations of a same or similar nature by the same violator within a 12 month period. h. Subsection (i) "C riminal penalties makes the fail- ure to pay an administrative fine within 30 days from the issuance of an administrative citation a criminal misdemeanor offense punishable in ac- cordance with state law. Failure to appear at a hearing without good cause or pay a fine imposed by a hearing officer within 30 days after its impo- sition is a misdemeanor offense as well.

"Storm water ", "Stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) ", and "Waters of the state " to read as follows: Detention facility means a permanent natural or man-made structure, including wetlands, for the temporary storage of stormwater which contains a permanent pool of water. Discharge means the release conveyance, channeling, runoff, or drainage, of stormwater including snowmelt, from a construction site. Exposed soil areas means all areas of the construction site where the vegetation (trees, shrubs brush gasses etc. ) or impervious surface has been removed, thus rendering the soil more prone to erosion. This includes topsoil stockpile areas, borrow areas, and disposal areas within the construction site. It does not include stockpiles or surcharge areas of gravel, concrete or bituminous. Once soil. is exposed it is considered "exposed soil," until it meets the definition of final stabilization. Final stabilization means that all soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and that a uniform perennial vegetative cover with a densily of seventy -five percent (75 %) for unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures has been established or equivalent permanent stabilization measures have been employed. Simply sowing grass is not considered final stabilization. Storm water means precipitation runoff, storm water runoff, snow melt off, and any other surface runoff and drainage. Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) means a joint storm water and erosion and sediment control plan that is a document containing the requirements of this ordinance.

Sediment means ear& material deposited or carried by water sewage, other liquid or wind. Structure means anything which is built constructed or erected an edifice or building of anv kind. or anv piece of work artificially buil u or composed of parts ioined together in some definite manner, which requires a location on below or above the ground land or water, or attached to something having a location on the ground, land or water. surface runoff and drainage. 4'' _ _ __*' _ --±_ a o_ -- - ete o = g e ' n o a#aG ed to the graiand or- on site _ rums rr s rr � utilities 3 > , 3 sheds detaehed 3 3 . Wetlands means swamps, bogs, marshes, potholes, wet meadows, and sloughs are wetlands, and properly, may be shallow waterbodies, the waters of which are stagnant or actuated by very feeble currents, and may at times be sufficiently dry to permit tillage but would require drainage to be made arable. The edge of a wetland is commonly that point where the natural vegetation changes from predominantly aquatic to predominantly terrestrial. An area where water stands near, at, or above the soil surface during a significant portion of most years, saturating the soil and supporting a predominantly aquatic form of vegetation, and which may have the following characteristics: (1) Vegetation belonging to the marsh (emergent aquatic), bog, fen, sedge meadow, shrub land, southern lowland forest (lowland hardwood), and northern lowland forest (conifer swamp) communities.
