A. Upon completion of project construction and prior to the final approval of any clearing, filling or grading, civil construction or building permit for which a storm drainage plan is required, the city shall require the applicant or owner to execute an inspection and maintenance agreement binding on all subsequent owners of land served by the private storm drainage system. Such agreement shall provide for access to the system at reasonable times for regular inspection by the city or its authorized representative and for regular or special assessments of property owners to ensure that the facility is maintained in proper working condition to meet design standards and any provisions established.

B. The agreement shall be recorded by the applicant and/or owner in the land records of King County.

C. The agreement shall also provide that if after notice by the city to correct a violation requiring maintenance work and satisfactory corrections are not made by the owner(s) within a reasonable period of time (thirty days maximum), the city may perform all necessary work to place the facility in proper working condition. The owner(s) of the facility shall be assessed the cost of the work and any penalties and there shall be a lien on the property, which may be placed on the tax bill and collected as ordinary taxes by the city.
