City Council Minutes Page 4 <br /> July 23,2018 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> if it was a long standing city policy to not give a plumbing permit until after the <br /> building permit is issued. <br /> Mr. Ruprecht stated yes. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated Mr. Briggs believes Beehive Homes was able to violate the <br /> policy. <br /> Mr. Ruprecht stated this is incorrect. He stated Beehive Homes was issued a <br /> foundation permit in November 2017. He stated the state plumbing plan review was <br /> approved on January 6, 2018, and the city issued the plumbing permit around <br /> January 24, 2018, and wasn't able to do an inspection until April due to frozen <br /> ground. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated he was told by another staff person that Mr. Briggs may have <br /> been referring to some work being done in the city street. <br /> Mr. Carlton stated this is correct. He stated the utilities needed to be extended north <br /> of the adjacent development,in order for Beehive Homes to access the public <br /> facilities. He stated Mr. Briggs may have been referring to the extension of public <br /> utilities,which has nothing to do with the issuance of a building permit. <br /> Mr. Ruprecht further stated the city issued a foundation permit for Beehive Homes <br /> in November because they wanted to get the footings in before the frost. He stated <br /> the city does this quite often, after obtaining certain information,but the city has <br /> always done it where they issue the foundation permit and collect all fees. He stated <br /> the city could issue Mr. Briggs a foundation permit if he paid his fees. He stated in <br /> this case,the city would issue the foundation permit,then the plumbing permit,and <br /> then the building permit. <br /> Mayor Dietz questioned if the state comments on the plan preclude anything from <br /> happening before Mr. Briggs can move forward. <br /> Mr. Ruprecht stated nothing has to go back to the state. He stated the answers from <br /> the state comments need to be provided to the city. He stated some of them have to <br /> be answered before issuance of the foundation permit,which Mr. Briggs should be <br /> able to provide quickly. He stated most of the comments should be simple to <br /> respond to but they need to be provided by Mr. Briggs architect. <br /> Attorney Beck clarified that a foundation permit is enough of a building permit that <br /> Mr. Briggs could pull the plumbing permit. He cited the Beehive Homes example. <br /> Mayor Dietz noted Mr. Carlton spoke with Mr. Brigg's plumber,Voss Plumbing and <br /> Heating, and Voss confirmed they are aware this is standard policy in most cities for <br /> the building permit to be issued before the plumbing permit. <br /> Mr. Carlton stated this is correct. <br /> UREJ <br />
