A. Improvement plans for any improvement listed in Section 12.04.010 shall be submitted for review and shall have the written approval of the public works superintendent or his or her designated representative prior to the construction, reconstruction, repair, excavation or grading.
All plans, wherever possible, must be submitted simultaneously to facilitate checking for conflicts. Plans not submitted simultaneously may be subject to separate and additional plan review fees.
B. All improvement plans submitted for approval shall be subject to the standard specifications, policies and procedures, plan check and permit fees of the city in effect at the time of application or reapplication for plan check.
C. Except as provided in subsection D of this section, such plan approval shall be void upon expiration of six months from the date of said written approval in subsection A of this section.
D. Upon a written finding by the city that the facts upon which the approval was based have not changed to an extent sufficient to warrant refiling of construction plans, the public works superintendent may extend the approval period. No more than four six-month extensions shall be granted for any one improvement, resulting in a maximum time extension of two years. Reapplication for plan check must be made with the public works superintendent or his or her designated representative on or before expiration of the six-month period or any approved extension herein if the permit is not issued in the approval or extension period.
E. Street and public utility plans, reports or documents required by this code shall be prepared by and certified by a registered professional civil engineer licensed by the state of Oregon. (Prior code § 2.115)
