Turlock Municipal Code Art. 5 Revisions To Approved Plans

Requests by the subdivider or the engineer for revisions to the approved plans appearing necessary or desirable during construction shall be submitted in writing to the City Engineer or authorized representative and shall be accompanied by revised drawings showing the proposed revision. If the revision is acceptable, the originals shall be submitted to the City Engineer's office for initialing. The originals shall be returned to the subdivider's engineer, and the revised plans shall be immediately transmitted to the City Engineer. The construction of any proposed revision shall not be permitted to commence until the revised plans have been received and forwarded to the Permits and Inspections Division. Reproducible "as-built" drawings shall be provided to the City upon the completion of the project before the filing of the notice of completion.

When revisions are deemed necessary by the City Engineer to protect the public health and safety, or as field conditions may require, a request in writing shall be made to the subdivider and engineer. The subdivider's engineer shall revise the plans and transmit the originals to the City Engineer for initialing within the specified by the City Engineer.

Upon the receipt of the initialed originals, the subdivider's engineer shall immediately transmit revised drawings to the City Engineer. The construction of all or any portion of the improvements may be stopped by the City Engineer until revised drawings have been submitted.

The subdivider may appeal revisions required by the City Engineer as provided by Title 1, Chapter 4 of this Code.
