Development - Review and Mitigation
Public Works Engineering
Development section is responsible for the review of engineering
and survey requirements for land development applications including
preliminary and final subdivisions, master plan developments, commercial
development, boundary line adjustments, and grading permits. Compliance
with applicable federal, state, and local development regulations
require the review of design elements for roadways, drainage systems,
erosion control, addressing, and plat recording.
The evaluation of preliminary subdivisions includes the review
of environmental impact statements, field inspections, coordination
with other departments and government jurisdictions, and preparation
of engineering recommendations for public hearings. The review
of engineering plans includes an evaluation of roadway designs,
drainage systems, erosion control, trail plans, variances, and
environmental mitigation studies. The final recording of subdivisions
and the review of boundary line adjustments include the application
and knowledge of survey principles and practices.
The Development section provides site inspections
and approvals for constructed public and private improvements.
The primary emphasis is on roads, drainage and erosion control site
work. The section's programs (site inspection, warranty inspections,
bond forfeiture, and engineering review of design plan changes)
deal with improvements related to the following permit/approval
types: subdivisions, commercial property, and clearing and grading
of property. This section also transfers privately developed public
improvements to the County for ownership and maintenance after final
construction approval.
