Existing features which would add value to residential development or to the City
of Norton as a whole, such as trees, watercourses and falls, historic spots, and similar
irreplaceable assets, shall be preserved in the design of the subdivision. No trees
shall be removed from any subdivision nor any change of grade of the land effected
until approval of the preliminary plat has been granted or a soil and erosion control
plan has been approved for inspection. If any work should be covered up without approval
or consent of the inspector, it shall, if required by the city manager, be uncovered
for examination and properly restored at the subdivider's expense. The cost of re-examining
by the city of any work previously found to be defective by the inspector or his representative
shall be borne by the subdivider. In no event shall any of the inspections conducted
under this section imply approval or acceptance of the subdivision improvements.
