§ 26-42. Residential construction.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, the construction of single-family detached dwellings shall be subject to the following rules:

(1)

Building permit. No land disturbing activity or other work (including moving and demolition) shall commence on a project until the owner or the contractor undertaking the work shall have applied for, and been issued, a land disturbance permit or building permit by the director. The owner/contractor shall prominently display on site the building permit, a signed erosion and sedimentation control agreement and approved site plan in full public view, until issuance of certification of occupancy. Demolition projects shall be required to install BMPs where necessary to prevent erosion. Failure to install BMPs shall constitute non compliance with this article.

(2)

Notice to comply. The director shall issue a notice to comply for failure to either install or maintain BMPs, even though sediments remain contained within the boundaries of the property by the use of debris basins, sediment basins, sediment barriers, and construction exits in accordance with this article. Subsequently, a stop work order shall be issued if compliance with a notice to comply is not achieved by the end of the specified compliance period of five days.

(3)

Stop work order. The director or representative shall issue an order to cease all work ("stop work order") on a project covered by this section if any work on that project is proceeding without a land disturbance permit or building permit, or, when silt, mud, or other waterborne debris leave the property boundary, or (if such a permit has been issued) it is found by the director or representative that all or any portion of the project remains out of compliance with any requirements of subsections 26-39(b) or (c), any other provision of this article or any other Fulton County ordinance, regulation or requirement after the specified compliance period or a site has been in violation at least two prior occurrences, to include any applicable fines and penalties. All other requirements of subsection 26-45(b) of this article also apply to projects covered by this section.
