County Fire Review update— [Shar Hingson and/or Shawn Hanson] Mr.Long provided the report noting the County has hired another employee to conduct reviews of plans for conformance with Fire Codes. There are now 3 persons responsible for reviews. Staff is working on measures to reduce"redundant"reviews of plans and their related inspections. E. North Naples Fire Review update— [Eloy Ricardo] None F. Growth Management Division/Planning&Regulation update— [Ken Kovensky and/or Matt Mclean Mr. Kovensky submitted the"Collier County October 2014 Monthly Statistics"which outlined recent building plan review activities. He reported the demand for plan review and related inspections continues to increase. The Department is increasing the number of personnel dedicated to "inspections." The Committee requested Staff to: 1. Consider incorporating statistics into the report on the average number of days required for Structural/Plumbing and Electrical reviews. 2. Review the procedures for "permit pick up"to determine if"wait times"may be reduced. Mr. French updated the Committee on Operations noting: • It has come to his attention inspections in homeowner and condominium associations require greater time allotments due to security measures required for entrance into the properties or high rise buildings. • The entry requirements are creating a negative impact on the inspector's daily schedule creating delays or cancellations for those appointments scheduled after these inspections. • Staff will be identifying measures to address the problem including considering eliminating the opportunity for time certain inspections and/or assigning a dedicated team of inspection personnel to these type of sites. The Committee expressed concern that more time than normal needs to be allotted to inspections in these locations. This condition may negatively affect the inspection schedule of other permittees who pay the same fee for the service. They recommended Staff contact organizations such as Association's of Community Managers, Condominium Associations or Homeowner Associations groups on the issue to determine if they may assist in developing measures to address the problem. VI. New Business A. New LDC Amendment [Caroline Cilek] This item was removed from the Agenda as the item was deemed no longer necessary at this point in time. B. Utility Standards Manual [Nathan Beals] Tom Chmelik, Steve Messner and Kris Van Lengen presented proposed revisions to the"Collier County Utility Standards Manual"for information purposes. The revisions are intended to enhance safety and reliability while reducing maintenance costs for the Utility. They provided Power Point "Collier County Utility Standards Manual DSAC- CBIA"which outlined the changes including 3 November 5,2014 updating dead end looping requirements and water design criteria,removing valve vaults from pumps stations,removing Master and Sub-master Pump Station language and replacing it with Community Pump Station language and requiring a concrete slab be installed in case future odor control systems are required for a community pump station. Committee discussion occurred noting it may not be a prudent use of funds by either the County or the private party proposing the improvements when it is undetermined if the device may be required in the future. Staff noted if the slab is not provided by the private party when the facilities are initially installed, the future costs associated with constructing the slab will be borne by the ratepayers. VII. Old Business A. Discussion regarding multiple revisions [Rich Long] Mr.Long reported the City View portal can not process another"plan revision"if a previous revision is still in process through the system. He noted multiple revisions may be submitted at one time as a "cluster"whereby the portal is able to process the requests accordingly. Once this "cluster"has exited the system, a new revision or cluster of revisions may be processed. B. Floodplain Management Update [Caroline Cilek] (this item was heard after item T) Ms. Cilek reported the Floodplain Management Committee is still in the process of reviewing the update to the Floodplain Management Plan. The Flood Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Assessment sections of the Plan have been reviewed with comments accepted by the consultant from Staff Members, Committee Members and the general public. It is anticipated the Plan will be heard by the Board of County Commissioners in February of 2015. VIII. Committee Member Comments None IX.
