John Szerlag, City Manager <br /> <br />Jorge Vera, Assistant City Manager <br />Robert C. Solera, Community Development Director <br /> <br />April 17,2008 <br /> <br />Construction Sites Section 135 Amendments <br /> <br />RECOMMENDA TION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance amending the Construction <br />Sites. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The Community Development Department based on constant code enforcement interaction with <br />construction sites, determined that an amendment of the Construction Site Section of the Code is <br />necessary. The current code section does not provide for daily job site maintenance. <br /> <br />In conjunction with the Public Works Department, we are requesting the City Commission to require all <br />construction sites to install a protected entrance / exit from the site to prevent any and all debris, concrete <br />waste, or any other material to be carried off of the site onto sidewalks or streets by trucks, equipments, or <br />any other method. The City Engineer/Public Works Director has included in the ordinance the specific <br />guidelines to follow, and will perform the required inspection to verify that the method meets the desired <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach standards. <br /> <br />Currently, the code section does not provide for rideability standards in conjunction with construction in <br />the right-of-way. The Department, again with the help of the City Engineer/Public Works Director, is <br />requesting that the Code Section include these standards. The implementation of the standards will assure <br />the City of Sunny Isles Beach residents and visitors are provided with streets and drivable surfaces that <br />will conform to a minimum standard of drivability. These minimum standards will prevent accidents that <br />may occur due to the conditions present as a result of the construction and will ensure health and life <br />safety. <br /> <br /> <br />Funding available: 0 VV\ \~ <br />Finance Department <br /> <br /> <br />To be com leted a /l <br />Agenda Item - J ~ <br />Agend <br />Comm Date 5-16- 0 <t <br /> <br />Cover Memo Construction Sites 135 Ord <br />
