§ 716-8.1016. Evaluation of existing fill.

The county building official may require the submission of a preliminary soil investigation report and/or engineering geological report before issuing a building permit for a structure to be placed on any fill or embankment constructed before August 11, 1969, or excepted from the requirement for a grading permit, or on any other lot or parcel on which critically expansive soils, slide conditions, or other soils or geologic hazards exist or may reasonably be anticipated to exist. If the county building official determines that the action recommended in this report is likely to prevent structural damage to the proposed structure, he shall approve the report and the recommended action contained in the report shall become a part of the required construction as a condition of the permit.

(Ords. 99-46 § 15: 69-59 § 1, 1969).
