Site Improvement Plans

These are the detailed construction documents for the infrastructure improvementsthat will need to be constructed prior to approval of the Final Map.

The final map is a small set of drawings (1-5 sheets).  Upon completion, they are submitted to the local Land Surveying Department for review and approval.  It is common for the reviewing agency to issue a set of comments and/or questions that need to be addressed before final approval of the map.  It may be necessary for your municipality’s Real Estate Department to review and approve any property dedications and/or easements that may impact the map.

Depending upon your municipality, size and location of your project, the drawings for the Site Improvement Plans requirements can be extensive.  Some of the most commonly required drawings are: Street and Roadway Drawings, Sanitary Sewer Drawings, Detailed Grading Plans, Storm Drain System, Storm Water Treatment Plans, Utility Plans, and Construction Details.

Upon submittal, the Final Map is reviewed by your Municipality’s Land Surveying Department.  The Site Improvement Plans are reviewed by several municipality departments and utility agencies, such as Planning, Building, Fire and etc. Upon completion of each agency’s review, it is typical that each agency will have a series of comments that will need to be addressed before final approvals are granted.

With the completion of the Final Map and Site Improvement Plans, the contract for Phase 6 is complete.
