-- -- ------- . June Minutes Page 3 06/01/94 Mr. Carlson asked how long the average permit takes to secure. Ms. Drewery stated a two week time span is most common before the board takes an action. This doesn't necessarily mean an approval. Mr. Carlson asked how many inspections a site receives. Ms. Drewery stated two (2) inspections are made before the project is okayed. The permits are good for one year and are subject to review and renewal. Fifty percent (50%) are approved within two weeks. A hold up may take place because the plans don't meet Rice Creek Watershed District's standards or not enough documentation was presented. Ms. Drewery stated the new Wetland Conservation Act was implemented by the State and a 60 day waiting period will take place for wetland filling. . Mr. Rye asked what would happen if a motion approved is contingent on the approval of Rice Creek Watershed District and severe changes to the plans are required. Mr. Fritsinger stated if Rice Creek Watershed District hasn't approved a project before it goes to Council, they also pass the motion contingent upon Rice Creek Watershed District's approval. Staff is not aware of any major changes being required in the past. Mr. Rye asked if an implementation of a preliminary staff review could be implemented before Rice Creek Watershed District and the Commission sees the plans. Mr. Fritsinger thought this would alleviate many of the problems. Chair Winiecki stated the Commission tried to get away from concept plans. This informal step hasn't worked because if the Commission approved a general plan from a developer, it . was then assumed the project had been passed.
