~ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />Item# 6.12. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Steve Ach, City Planner_~ <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />August 18, 1997 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Inspection Program for Development <br /> Projects <br /> <br />The review of development projects involves a considerable amount of time on <br />the front end with planning and preparing reports for the Planning <br />Commission and City Council and ultimately, plan approval. However, <br />equally important in the process is the project follow-up to make sure projects <br />are completed according to the plans approved by the Planning Commission <br />and City Council. This has been a goal of the Planning Department for the <br />last several years. With the recent hiring of the planning intern, the <br />Planning Department will begin a follow up program going back checking <br />each development site to make sure the requirements and conditions of <br />approval have been satisfied. <br /> <br />I'm sure there will be projects that have completed all of their improvements <br />and met all conditions of approval, while others may fall just short or have <br />not completed any of the improvements. This program will be an ongoing <br />effort to work with the businesses and property owners to be in compliance <br />with their approved plans and permits. It is the department's full intention <br />to make sure this program is a compromising effort with the property <br />owner/business to meet the conditions of approval. After inspection of the <br />sites, a letter will be sent out to the business, developer or property owner <br />identifying the items which need to be completed in order to satisfy the <br />approved plans. <br /> <br />I wanted to update the Council on this program in case you receive any calls <br />regarding this follow-up program. Once again, this will be ongoing effort to <br />work with the businesses over a period of time to make sure that conditions <br />of approval are ultimately met and sites are completed according to approved <br />plans. If any of the Councilmembers have concerns or questions regarding <br />this program, please feel free to call me or I will be at the meeting Monday <br />night to answer any questions. <br /> <br /> s:\council\inspecti.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
