Iil those cases where the proposed work falls within the area of a current City improvement project <br /> (subdivisions, wastewater collection system or stormwater drainage system construction, street <br /> paving, etc.) four copies will be made of the plans and/or drawings. The fourth set shall be <br /> forwarded to the Engineering Division Project Manager assigned to the City improvement project <br /> for placement in the project office file. <br /> All plans and/or drawings shall contain a north arrow. The proposed work area shall be referenced <br /> b~ accurate dimensions to a known intersection center-point, lot corners, or to a known City manhole <br /> if an intersection center-point is not available. The plans and/or drawings shall be to scale both <br /> vertically and horizontally and designate with accurate dimensions the portion of the public way <br /> proposed to be used and the work zone within the public way. The work zone shall be considered <br /> to include 10 feet at a minimum around the perimeter of the proposed excavation or facility <br /> placement and shall include staging and material storage areas within the public way. The plans <br /> shall show accurate locations of curbs, sidewalks, and driveways within the proposed work zone. <br /> If the critical root zone of a street tree is located within the proposed work zone, the applicant shall <br /> so indicate on the permit application, and the plans shall accurately depict the areas of the work zone <br /> which may impact street trees, along with the size, location, and species of each tree within such <br /> areas. The critical root zone for trees 3 inches or smaller in caliper shall be an area with a radius of <br /> at least 3 feet from the trunk. The critical root zone for trees over 3 inches in caliper shall be an area <br /> «ith a radius of at least eighteen inches from the trunk for every 1 inch of caliper size. <br /> If the work zone or portions thereof are outside the public right-of--way but within a public utility <br /> easement, the plans shall show any locations where the work zone falls within natural resource <br /> protection areas (e.g. wetlands, rare plant areas, conservation zones, individual trees designated for <br /> protection, etc.). <br /> 2.D.3 Review <br /> Before each permit is issued, the applicant's plans are evaluated by the staff of the City Engineer. <br /> 1\laintenance Division personnel research the location and size of all known City-owned facilities, <br /> for which records are on file (e.g. stormwater and wastewater, telecommunications, curbs, etc.), and <br /> draft the facility location on each set of the plans provided by the permittee of the proposed facility. <br /> Staff also evaluate the permittee's proposed installation in relation to planned future City facility <br /> placements for conflicts with location and grade. Staff have the responsibility of reviewing <br /> applications for completeness, determining if an associated erosion permit or urban forestry review <br /> is required, and entering the permit information into the computer plan tracking program. <br /> If upon initial review of the application, the plans are found to be unclear, incomplete, or inaccurate <br /> the application and plans will be returned to the applicant for correction and re-submittal. <br /> Personnel of the Maintenance Planning Section perform the final review. Utility lines are evaluated <br /> for the construction techniques proposed, their proposed location upon, above, or below the public <br /> <br /> Utility & R/W Permit Policy <br /> <br /> Exhibit A - 12 r:\adminord\rules\OOrowrlexa.wpd(09/13/00) <br /> <br />
