w f, 1 Dear P& Z Members: The intent of this message is to provide an Engineer' s Comments for the SUDAS Design Manual, Chapter 1, Sections 1. and 2. Prior to any further comments on the remaining sections it is important that your members answer some of the questions that I raise on a few items, and other items are recommended. Once all of the Design and Specification chapters are reviewed, a Special Provisions will be generated to include all City changes or clarifications. The items of concern are referenced by each subsection as follows: Section Section 1. 1— Does the City want thee Standards to also apply to existing adjacent lots/ parcels next to right- of- ways or easements? Things like existing driveway replacements, ditch maintenance/ culverts, sidewalks, etc. Section 2. 1—." Jurisdictional Engineer" shall_ be defined " City Engineer" as authorized representative. Section 2. 3- Does• City want to add " City Staff' as performing some of these duties? Section 2. 4— Does the City' s existing" Building Permit" include the" Building Sanitary Sewer" or Plumbing Permit" explained in this section? Section 2. 5— The terms" Owner or. Homeowners Association" should by our zoning include anything greater than a single family dwelling. An IDNR permit is not required for all items discussed, and this statement should add " applicable IDNR rules and regulations". Section 2. 8—( Same comments as in Section 2. 5) Section 2. 10— Current ordinances I believe they only are responsible to the " curb stop", does the City want to keep the same? Additional comment the same as Section 2. 4 regarding the " Building Permit" requirement. Section 2. 21— Does the City want any future " Public Detention" basins? Section 2. 22— Does the City currently, issue " Entrance Permits", or are those within the current,' Building Permits"? Sec'tiori 2. 25— Does the City currently have franchises that are greater than 25 years in term? Table 2. 1F Uncle? the column of" Permits", " Plumbing" can mean " Building Permit": This concludes my review of those two sections. It is my understanding that members are currently working on a revised " Subdivision Ordinance". Section 3, Submittals Procedures of the Design Manual also include certain items and a checklist for plat requirements. Prior to my review of this-section if I could get your draft of that ordinance so that these two documents will match each other, or you reference this section in your ordinance. Y If you want Mr. Frederick at your meeting on December 7th, please advise. If you have any questions/ concerns prior, please contact.
