Original title: 14228 & 14242 SW 60th Terrace Water SVC - Improvement Offsite - 000782 - Waiver to Improvement Offsite Plan in Review Parcel #: 8009-1270-14 WaiverPIR-000924-2026 Enviro-Tech, Inc. LDC 2.11.1 Application requirements and 6.4.7. Construction plans CODE states Table 2.11-1, Application Requirements Table 2.11-1, Application Requirements, provides a reference of the minimal requirements needed for: A comparable review, and/or Information that may be required to move the application efficiently through the approval process. Requirements in this table may be cumulative to and/or dependent on other aspects of the application. When stationing is used to define features on a plan, all property corners and any control points found within the right-of-way or project site shall be referenced to this stationing (these points include but are not limited to: point of intersection, point of curvature, point of tangency, and vertical and horizontal control). Section and quarter section corners found within 1,320 feet of the limits of the project shall also be referenced. On plans where multiple stationing lines are shown, a note shall appear within the general notes indicating the line controlling the referenced information. The reference information will appear on the sheet where it is graphically shown and may be displayed in a table. Information shown shall contain, at a minimum, the station, offset (left or right), State Plane Coordinate, elevation (if applicable), and a detailed description of the point. APPLICANT - A waiver is respectfully requested from the survey requirements of Marion County LDC Section(s) 2.11.1 and 6.4.7 for the proposed installation of a new water service(s). Although the County Survey Department has indicated that a survey would be required per the Marion County Land Development Code, the Utility Department has confirmed that no survey is needed for these minor utility improvements, which occur entirely within an existing, well-defined public right-of-way and do not involve any roadway, drainage, or geometric modifications. Current County GIS data, aerial imagery, and verified utility as-builts provide sufficient information to accurately design the alignment, depth, and service connection, and field conditions within this short corridor have not changed. As such, a full survey would not add value or improve public safety for this limited-scope work, and we request approval to proceed without a survey.
