drainage course and destroyed habitat. He indicated County Code Enforcement
issued a stop work order on their grading which did not stop them because they
were back out today working on the signal. He indicated these people should not
be given another Certificate of Occupancy until they learn how to play by the
rules and correct the damage they have reeked on our community.

the City and Ridgestone. He stated it was the City's responsibility to ensure that
they follow the rules. He indicated the Conditions of Approval for occupancy are
monitored by staff and how they violate environmental issues is something that
staff catch's them on and reports to the appropriate agency. He stated Allen
Street is not tied to a Certificate of Occupancy and the environmental violation is
two degrees removed from their occupancy in that the signal is required. He
stated if they are violating environmental regulations and the construction for the
signal stopped, the consequences are they don't get the signal complete or a
certificate of occupancy.
