• <br /> 8 <br /> a need for more meetings,In the past 6 months the Board has <br /> met 3 times and had 4 cases. <br /> PROJECTIONS FOR NEXT 6 MONTHS; <br /> We expect to have 5 cases within the next 6 months. These <br /> requests include a staff review of the proposal; recommendation <br /> to the Board of Adjustment, findings of fact in the case, minutes <br /> of the meeting. <br /> WORK OBJECTIVE 4: MAINTAIN CONSTANT REVIEW AND RECORDS OF ALL LAND <br /> DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY, SUCH AS MINOR AND MAJOR <br /> SUBDIVISIONS AND REZONINGS: THROUGH ON-SITE <br /> INSPECTIONS OF EACH NEW SUBDIVISIONS AND REZONING <br /> PROPOSAL <br /> 6 MONTH PEPORT: <br /> The review of land development activity is on a as required basis, <br /> The amount of activity has been reasonably slow for the first <br /> 6 months of this year. Because of increasing time requirements <br /> in other areas and the slow activity there have been only about <br /> 60 on-site inspections in the last 6 months, The number of <br /> people who call or come in average 1,460 per year or about 5 <br /> people per day. The type review staff does for these projects <br /> is changing, with regular subdivisions we look only at the <br /> particular property and surrounding areas. Planned Developments <br /> require more in depth review of the proposal and how it fits <br /> into an entire area. We are changing our filing system to <br /> better deal with the increased numbers of developments we an- <br /> ticipate in the near future. <br /> PROJECTIONS FOR NEXT 6 MONTHS: <br /> 60 on-site inspections and 730 people visiting the department. <br /> WORK OBJECTIVES 5 AND 6: ISSUE BUILDING PERMITS AND HANDLE QUESTIONS <br /> AND COMMUNICATIONS FOR BUILDING INSPECTIONS <br /> DEPARTMENT, AS NECESSARY. ENFORCE THE FLOOD <br /> DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE THROUGH THE IS- <br /> SUANCE OF PERMITS: CONTACT WITH THE PUBLIC; <br /> FIELD SURVEYS <br /> • 6 MONTH rEPORT: <br /> Current Planning now issues all building permits in order to <br /> have stricter adhereance to the Land Development Codes. There <br /> were 455 building permits issued in the last 6 months. With <br /> each building permit a Flood Permit is issued to insure that <br /> the building is not in a floodway. We have taken on this added <br /> responsibility because there are more zoned townships which <br /> require zoning compliance and also the Flood Damage Prevention <br /> Ordinance required that Current Staff review all applications <br /> anyway. There are an average of 4 people/day that require our <br /> assistance. <br />
