In order to protect buyers of subdivision lots in Fountain Green City against purchasing property on which the site improvement work is incomplete and may not be completed, and to protect the public at large from dangerous and undesirable conditions that result from unfinished site improvements such as erosion, flooding, and blowing dust, it is the policy of Fountain Green City that no plat will be approved and that no building permit will be issued on any building project within the City limits unless and until the site improvement work is completed or the developer of the property has provided adequate security to assure timely completion of the improvements when weather permits.
A. Detailed Site Plans. A detailed site plan showing the location and nature of drainage work, grade changes, retaining walls, and landscaping, together with any trails, paths, or walkways shall be submitted to the Planning Commission prior to issuance of a permit. Site improvements shall be completed pursuant to this Chapter and as shown in the detailed site plan.
B. Construction According to Approved Plans. No plat will be approved, and no certificate of occupancy will be issued, unless that project and all required site improvements have been constructed in accordance with the plans approved by the building inspector and on which the building permit is issued.
