1.Certification includes attached Stormwater-approved grading plan. (NOTE: City’s
Building Department does not approve grading plans).
2.Certification includes the attached as-built survey dated (must be within 60
days of the date the certification is submitted) accurately and truthfully depicting

Top of foundation/finished floor
Finished grade on each side of the structure
Quarter points along each lot line (not more than 50 feet apart)
Break points/high points
Swales

Retaining walls
Air conditioning pads
Window wells
Any other appurtenance(s) within an easement
3.All elevations are within a 0.2 foot tolerance of the approved grading plan.
4.The top of foundation is at least 6 inches above the highest grade surrounding the
structure.
5.There is a minimum grade of 5% away from the structure within the first 5 to 10 feet
adjacent to the residence.
6.All slopes meet or exceed the minimum requirement of 2% (1% is acceptable on single
family lots when the swale is draining the runoff from only two adjoining properties)
and are not steeper than 33% (3:1).
7.All flow lines of stormwater drainage swales are a minimum of 6 inches below the
elevation of ground adjacent to the structure and will direct drainage as shown on the
Stormwater-approved grading plan.
