Notification: <br />Observations: <br />The only additional item being requested with this proposal is the inclusion of an as -built Certificate of Survey <br />(elevation certificate). This would be completed following the installation of the footings and foundation, and prior <br />to framing the structure. This elevation certificate would confirm both the structure elevation, in relation to the <br />surrounding land, and verify setbacks are adhered to. If discrepancies are discovered at this point in time it may <br />still be possible to correct the problem. <br />Staff contacted several surveying firms within our consultant pool to determine whether we may be requiring <br />excessive amounts of information that other municipalities do not, and what the financial ramifications of these <br />requirements would be. The responses received were all similar, in that what is being proposed is consistent with <br />what other metro communities currently have in place. <br />Elevations concerns became an issue during this past summer's heavy rains, and staff identified a few occurrences <br />where revisions to the original Certificate of Survey were conducted without City knowledge and thereby created <br />some potential flooding issues for property owners. The attached proposal outlines information that staff feels <br />should be required on all Certificates of Survey that are submitted for building permits. The information was <br />distributed for review and comment from the City Attorney, Building Official, and Planning Department. <br />Funding Source: <br />Funding to prepare and implement the required information on Certificates of Survey is being handled with staff <br />time. Costs for the potential as -built certification, and all other requirements, would be a responsibility of the <br />building permit applicant. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends establishing the required information for Certificates of Survey as presented. <br />Committee Action: <br />Motion to recommend to the City Council that staff establish requirements for information that must be included on <br />Certificates of Survey. <br />Certificate of Survey Requirements <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Olson Brian Olson 12/08/2011 02:54 PM <br />Brian Olson Brian Olson 12/08/2011 02:54 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 12/08/2011 03:21 PM <br />Form Started By: Tim Himmer Started On: 12/06/2011 08:59 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 12/08/2011 <br />
