§ 114-36. Improvement and construction plan (Step 3) procedure.

(a)

Step 3 maybe skipped if the proposed development requires no infrastructure improvements for the development of the project.

(b)

If Step 3 is required, the following procedures apply:

(1)

Preparation of improvement and construction plans. The developer will prepare improvement and construction plans and other supplementary material as specified in section 114-37. The improvement and construction plans may concern only that portion or phase of the approved conceptual plan that the developer plans to develop and construct at such time as well as any additional on-site or off-site improvements that may be warranted for the phased development of the project.

(2)

Submission of improvement and construction plans and application.

a.

The developer shall submit 15 copies of the improvement and construction plans, and supplementary material specified, to the city engineer or designee within 12 months of the approval of the conceptual plan, with a written application for conditional approval.

b.

If the developer fails to do so, the conceptual plan shall become null and void unless a one year extension of time is applied for in writing and granted by the city engineer or designee. Only one extension shall be allowed.

c.

The improvement and construction plans must be approved by the city engineer or designee within one year after the submittal of the plans.

(3)

Review by city departments. The city engineer shall report in writing to the developer the recommendations, findings, or reports of the appropriate city departments concerning the improvement and construction plan, together with an analysis of compliance or noncompliance with the approved conceptual plan and required supplementary materials.

(4)

Action by the city engineer. The city engineer may conditionally accept the improvement and construction plans and approve the supplementary materials as presented, or with minor modifications, if found to be in compliance with this chapter, or may refuse to accept the improvement and construction plans and supplementary materials when not found to be in compliance with, or readily capable of being revised to comply with, this chapter. If the city engineer refuses to accept the improvement and construction plans and supplementary materials, the city engineer shall state in writing the particular basis for the refusal, and a copy thereof shall be furnished to the developer.
