§ 62-2842. Inspections, notifications and certificate of completion.

(a)

Inspections: The county manager or his designee and representatives of any reviewing agency shall have the right and privilege to inspect and visit the tract for the purpose of insuring that all improvements are being constructed in conformity with the provisions of this article, and such approved construction plans and specifications.

(b)

Notification: The applicant shall notify the county manager or his designee of any changes to the approved construction plan. Any changes to the approved construction plans may require additional planning, review, permits and/or inspections.

The failure to notify the county manager or his designee of the commencement and completion of the construction of such items may be good cause for the county manager or his designee to refuse to recommend issuance of a certificate of completion. All utility improvements must be inspected by the appropriate utility representative prior to backfilling.

(c)

Issuance of certificate of completion: Upon completion of construction of the improvements, the applicant or his authorized representative shall provide to the county manager or his designee items as follows:

(1)

A letter stipulating that construction of the improvements has been completed and requesting final inspection and approval. A document from a professional engineer licensed in the State of Florida with his seal affixed certifying that the improvements have been constructed in conformity with the approved construction plans and specifications.

(2)

The testing reports and certificates of compliance from material suppliers specified in these regulations.

(3)

Three sets of an as built survey meeting the requirements of Section 61G17, F.A.C., and signed and sealed by a surveyor licensed in the State of Florida. All as-built plans must provide road elevations; slopes; inverts; pavement width; location; outfall location and elevations; and pond size and depth, and any additional as-built data to ensure completion in accordance with the approved construction plans.

(4)

A document from the county utilities director approving all utility installations. If a municipality is accepting a public water and/or sewer system, there must be a documentation indicating municipal acceptance of the construction of the water and/or sewer system.

(5)

Certification, signed and sealed by a state registered surveyor, and the PCPs and PRMs are in place.

(6)

The fire marshal or his designee shall approve the water system with regards to water for fire-fighting and fire flows.

(7)

Upon receipt of the above items, the county manager or his designee shall review such data and make a final inspection of the constructed improvements and shall notify the applicant of any items of noncompliance of such construction with the approved construction plans and specifications, and the provisions and requirements of this article.

(d)

A certificate of completion shall be issued by the county manager or his designee when the construction of such improvements is completed in conformity with the design contained in the approved construction plans and specifications, and the provisions and requirements of this article and applicable codes. The county manager or his designee shall refuse to issue a certificate of completion should a reviewing agency determine the workmanship or materials of the improvements do not meet the technical standards set forth in this article or applicable codes.
