Public Hearing - Case No. OA <br />02-02 <br /> <br />Staff report by Michele McPherson. The Planning Commission is asked to consider an <br />ordinance amendment to change the certificate of survey requirements for building permit <br />issuance and also to consider imposing residential and commercial/industrial escrows. Ms. <br />McPherson explained that more detailed information is required on certificates of survey to <br />insure proper drainage and reduce impacts to adjacent properties. Staff feels that requiring <br />this information at the time of building permit issuance will help avert problems later. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ms. McPherson explained that staff is also recommending that escrows include <br />improvements such as grading, detention ponds, blacktop and curbing, in addition to <br />landscaping. Ms. McPherson explained how the escrow requirement would be structured <br />for residential, commercial and industrial property. <br /> <br />Commissioner Franz stated that he felt local developers should see these changes prior to <br />the City Council meeting.
