Chapter 530. Land Disturbance Code
Article I. Administration
Section 530.010. Scope.
[Ord. No. 961 §1, 1-9-2008]
A. Title. These regulations shall be known as the "Land Disturbance Code" of the City of Winchester,
St. Louis County, Missouri, hereinafter referred to as "this code".
B. Introduction. On construction or land disturbance sites, soil is highly vulnerable to erosion by wind
and water. Eroded soil endangers water resources by reducing water quality and causing the
siltation of aquatic habitat for fish and other desirable species. Deposits of eroded soil also
necessitate maintenance of sewers and ditches and the dredging of lakes. In addition, clearing
and grading during construction cause the loss of native vegetation necessary for terrestrial and
aquatic habitat. Construction activities also utilize materials and generate wastes which, if not
properly controlled, can pollute receiving waters.
C. Purpose. The purpose of this code is to safeguard persons, protect property and prevent damage
to the environment in Winchester. This code will also promote the public welfare by guiding,
regulating and controlling the design, construction, use and maintenance of any development or
other activity that disturbs or breaks the topsoil or results in the movement of earth on land in
Winchester.
D. Scope. This code provides for the safety, health and welfare of the public by regulating and
controlling the design, construction, use and maintenance of any development or other activity that
disturbs land surfaces or results in the movement of earth in Winchester.
Section 530.020. Definitions.

of the approved construction documents or the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan or any
directive of the Department of Public Works or of a permit or certificate issued under the
provisions of this code or shall start any work requiring a permit without first obtaining a permit
therefore or who shall continue any work in or about a structure after having been served a stop
work order, except for such work which that person, firm or corporation has been directed to

who commits, takes part or assists in any violation of this code or who maintains any property on
which such violation shall exist shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more

such fine and imprisonment. Each day that a violation continues shall be deemed a separate
offense.
1. No -permit penalty. In addition to the penalties set out above, the following procedure shall be
followed where the City Engineer determines that work has been started prior to the
acquisition of a permit required by this code:
a. The City shall issue a stop work order.
b. The City Engineer shall notify the violator of his/her assessment regarding the
appropriate penalty amount to be assessed against the violator, which shall not exceed
one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for each day that work occurs without a permit. In
making the assessment, the engineer shall consider whether the violator has previously
violated this code and whether the occupation or experience of the violator indicates that
he/she knew or should have known that a permit was required. In no case will a no -
permit penalty be assessed against a property owner unless he/she actually performed
the work involved.
c. At the violator's option, he/she may deposit the assessed penalty amount in escrow
(certified check or cash only) with the City, in which case the violator's right to a hearing
will be preserved.
d. No -permit penalties are appealable to the Board of Adjustment in the same manner as
other decisions of the department. The department may revise its assessment upon
notice to both the Board of Adjustment and the violator at any time prior to the hearing.
Likewise, at any time prior to the hearing, the violator may accept and pay the
recommended penalty amount and the hearing will be canceled.
e. At the hearing before the Board of Adjustment, the Board shall afford both the
department and the alleged violator an opportunity to present any evidence or make any
statements they wish to have considered.
f. Following the hearing the Board of Adjustment shall determine whether a permit was
required.
(1)
If the Board of Adjustment determines that a permit was required, an appropriate
penalty amount shall be assessed, taking into account the same considerations as
noted above. The stop work order shall remain in full force and effect until such time
as the penalty amount is paid and the violator has complied with all other regulations
pertaining to the issuance of permits.
(2) If the Board of Adjustment determines that no permit was required, the department
shall immediately cancel the stop work order.
E. Abatement Of Violation. The imposition of the penalties herein prescribed shall not preclude the
City Attorney from instituting appropriate action to prevent unlawful construction or to restrain,
correct or abate a violation or to prevent illegal use of a property or to stop an illegal act.
F. Permit Suspension Or Revocation. When a land disturbance activity is conducted in violation of
the requirements of this code or the terms of the permit in such a manner as to materially
adversely affect the safety, health or welfare of persons or materially be detrimental or injurious to
property or improvements, the City Engineer or his designee may suspend or revoke such permit.
G. Stop Work Order. Upon notice from the City of Winchester that work on any property is being
prosecuted contrary to the provisions of this code or in an unsafe and dangerous manner, such
work shall be immediately stopped. The stop work order shall be in writing and shall be given to
the owner of the property involved or to the owner's agent or to the person doing the work and
