A Pre-Construction packet containing information for commercial development and single family subdivision construction is now available for download on the Development Services web portal under
the “information” category as well as the “checklists” category. This packet, which includes various checklists for construction, will be provided to contractors at Pre-construction Meetings.
Customers are asked to take note of the section of the packet containing information about North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Standard 300.01. This standard illustrates the type of backfill material required for all storm drainage systems.
As we have reported, the City and Mecklenburg County partnered together to contract with Gartner Consulting in March of 2015 to review development planning, permitting and inspection services. In association
with the Gartner study, the City and County have been involved in many
initiatives which will establish a service delivery model offering streamlined
and easy-to-understand services for our customers.
A new Gartner webpage has been created on the development Services web portal to provide information and updates about the Gartner Study.
Please visit http://cldsm.charmeck.org to view or download the
CLDSM details. A PDF file is available that contains just the updated
pages from the CLDSM, and all of the detail drawings are also available in
DWG format.
