Kevin Slovarp, City Engineer and Monte Sipe, Construction Projects Manager, presenting,
Mr. Slovarp and Mr. Sipe are updating their August 19th Title Twelve presentation to the Public Works Committee before the public hearing set for October 5th, 2020. They went through the ordinance and noted additional changes for each section.
Mr. Slovarp reiterated that reorganizing the sections allowed them to have less duplication of information, more consistency in definitions and more centralized categories. They were able to eliminate sections as well as create new condensed sections. There were a few sections that changed from paragraph to list format for easier reading, and by moving some items to the Public Works manual it will allow for them to be more easily updated when industry standards change.
The plan review and resubmittal fees are not yet established, but Mr. Slovarp said they wanted the language included to give them options in the future.
There were discussions regarding sidewalk standards from the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA), parking lot requirements, right of ways, boulevard tree language, and fee schedules.
Committee members asked to see the strike through version of the document in Escribe so that they could take a closer look at the changes.
All agreed to have Mr. Slovarp & Mr. Sipe back on September 30th, 2020 for a question and answer session after committee members had had a chance to read the strike through version of the ordinance.
