Also in the checklist are steps and proceduresto ensure that appropriate officials such as Centerville committees, police and fire chiefs, ,County, and other agencies have had proper time to offer comment before Council approval or disapproval. Of particular interest is to determine if a modification or new ordinance should require radon sampling in new construction. Also a question to be raised is a requirement to provide sump pump drainage in all new construction. Current trends on energy seem 'io favor geothermal heat pumps. Can these types of queshoilS be ansyvered and accommodated in our current ordinances? The questions about environmental friendly fi)(tures and design should also be discussed. Also developer's agreements or administrative procedures should state what conditions require reconsideration by Council per the recent issue on Mounds Trail. It is extremely important that citizens understand the processes for new construction and remodeling and that the public is presented consistent accurate information. Finaiiy, priorities for revision of ordinanCeS need to be discussed by Cauncil and Planning and Zoning.
