Accordingly, your request will be evaluated based on the s~ction and subsection references as they existed On April ll, 1978, the effective date of AO 78-84. The copy o£ AMC 21.85 you furnished is dated March 31, 1978. I have attached a copy of the Code dated December 12, 1978 (you wflI note that the only difference is in AMC 21.85.065, which was amended by AO 78-50 on Mamh 21, 1978.) A~ the property is currently vacmt and/s proposed only for development with a single-family dwelling, I believe the intent of AO 78-84 can be satisfied through the building l~rm/t/ certificate of occupancy process. This would entail apreliminary certification of your plans before issuance of a building permit, and a final certification of thc construction before ~m~ance of a certificate of occupancy. I believe th/s approach allows you to reasonably develop the property while protecting the public interest. Therefore, in accordarme with Section 2 of AO 78-84, I make the followi~gpreliminary determinatiom for the purposes of building and as~oci~ed permits: I, I designate the Right-of-Way Plan Review Engineer as the person who shall determine if your proposed construction meets the reCltfirements of Section 2 paragraph 1. Issuance of a right-of-way permit shall comtitute his certification in writing that the requlr~ments have be~n satisfied, 2. A well permit issued by the Dcq~artment of I-Iealth and Human Services shall constitute the certification in writing that the water supply system meets thc requirements of Sect/on 2 paragraph 2. 3. A septic permit issued by the Department of Health and Human Services shall constitute the certification ia writing that the sgptlc system meets the requirements of Section 2 paragraph 3. 4. I designate the K/gilt-of-Way Plan Review F~ngineer as the person who shall determine ff your proposed conmmction meets the requirements of Section 2 paragraph 4. I~suance of a right-of-way l~raAt shall ¢ol'~titute his certification in writing that the requirements have been satisfied. 5. I designate the Municipal Surveyor as the person who shall determi'ne if your proposed construction meets the requirements of Section 2 paragraph 5. His approval of a field survey shall constitute the certification in writing that the requirements have been satisfied, I direct that items 1-4 above be verified prior to the issuance of any conditional or final certificate of occupanc7. I designate the Administrative Superintendent of Street Maintenance as the person who shall determine the adequacy of the actual co~troetion for items I and 4, above. His approval of a certificate of occupancy shall constitute the certification/n whit/ag that items 1 and 4 have been sat/stied. The post-construction/aspecfion report approved by the Department of Health and Human Services shall constitute the cert/ficatlon/u wriliug that items 2 and 3 have been saflsf/ed. The Mon/eipal Sttrveyor's approval, as noted above, shall corot/rote the ctrrtification in writing that item 5 has been satisfied. 1800-08-03 10:36 Ray l~eig Re; $imon~on Homestead, Lot 1 August 1, 2000 This letter does not relieve you of any other Code requirement.
