. <br /> Mr. Lyle said that he wished to ensure that someone took responsibility for <br /> the completion of site management plans to minimize the level of City review <br /> and cost. <br /> Mr. Strecker suggested that for housing sites up to a certain size (five <br /> acres) with sensitive areas, the City could develop a generic site management <br /> plan. Ms. Anderson endorsed the suggestion, saying that construction other <br /> than single- family residences on a site less than five acres with sensitive <br /> areas would be required to have a site management plan. <br /> Mr. Lyle suggested that the City could take the model approach to smaller <br /> sites proposed by Mr. Strecker, and require that plans for larger developments <br /> be stamped by an engineer or architect and reviewed by City staff. <br /> Mr. Lyle asked if the committee preferred City review or an architect's stamp <br /> on plans for other sites that did not fall into the category identified by Mr. <br /> Strecker. <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Jones, Mr. Lyle said that the length of the <br /> plan review would depend on the quality of the plan submittal. <br /> Ms. Girling suggested that the City charge more to process plans not stamped. <br /> Mr. McCarthy questioned whether a generic site management plan would be <br /> sufficient to address the variety of developments. <br /> Mr. Lyle summarized the discussion, saying that the committee considered <br /> establishing a generic site plan to address single- family houses in sensitive <br /> areas. Development on larger sites with sensitive areas or nonresidential <br /> development on sites of less than five acres would require a site management <br /> plan prepared by a professional engineer or architect. The developer could <br /> use the model and adjust it for the individual site. Mr. Lyle said that the <br /> City would then inspect the site to determine if the plan accomplished the <br /> goal of erosion control. <br /> Mr. McCarthy advocated for training for building inspectors so that those <br /> individuals could examine construction sites to ensure that management plans <br /> were met% <br /> Mr. McCarthy said that the site plan for small sites does not have to be a <br /> drawing. Mr. Strecker concurred. <br /> Ms. Girling asked when the City would require site management plans to be <br /> submitted. Mr. Lyle indicated that staff would examine the plans submittal <br /> process to determine when site plans should be submitted: <br /> Ms. Ander!tl believed that there was validity to requiring site itngement <br /> plans to be prepared by a professional, particularly for development on or <br /> near wetlands.
