A construction site plan is a plan that incorporates every aspect of land development and building on a property. It delineates everything from grading, engineering and architectural designs to construction.

Requirements

New land developments or changes in existing residential uses require a construction site plan. If there is any special use for the property beyond its initial zoning, a site plan will be required.

Exemptions

A waiver for a construction site plan may be given if no utilities will be moved or new buildings will be erected on a property. Waivers are given by the building code inspector in conjunction with the city engineer.

Required Information

All pertinent information about the parcel must be on the site plan, including address of the development, boundary lines, existing zoning, deed owner's recorded information, building restrictions and topography. Additionally, scale and north points should be present and buildings, sewers and sidewalks marked.

Expert Authority

Each respective expert is responsible for preparing his given portion of the site plan for approval. Thus surveyors, engineers, architects, contractors work with the city inspector on the various steps of the site plan.

Approval

Construction site plans are submitted to the city engineer or her agent to review compliance and further submitted to zoning administrators and the city planning commission and the fire chief. Approval is ultimately in the hands of the city engineer.
