SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS IN THE BROOKTRAILS TOWNSHIP SPECIAL REVIEW DISTRICT
|
NO SITE DEVELOPMENT IS ALLOWED WITHOUT AN APPROVED DISTRICT APPLICATION AND AN APPROVED BUILDING PERMIT. THERE IS NO GRADING OR CLEARING OF ANY LOT ALLOWED IN THE BROOKTRAILS TOWNSHIP SPECIAL REVIEW DISTRICT WITHOUT APPROVAL BY THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD.
Development Review
Design Standards for Site Development and for all construction, including manufactured homes, are specified in Chapter 10 of the Brooktrails Specific Plan.
No verbal "approvals" are ever given by the District Architect or other District personnel. If you do not have a written approval, you do not have approval. Please be aware that the County of Mendocino Department of Planning and Building Services will not review your plans without written approval by the District. Your approved blueprints will have the District's stamp of approval. The approval process is as follows:
Review
(1) Submit an Application for Design Review and four (4) sets of plans to the District office
along with the application fee.
(2) Find and flag all property corners and stake out proposed buildings. (If there is any doubt
about the accuracy of the property corners, a professional should be consulted.)
(3) The General Manager will review your application to ensure that utilities are available and
to identify any special circumstances that may exist.
(4) The District Architect will review the plans and visit the site.
(5) If the site is not properly staked or the plans are incomplete, they will be rejected
and the applicant will be notified to rectify the deficiencies. There will be a reinspection
surcharge for the second review of a site or plan.
(6) If the design as proposed is unacceptable, approval will be denied and the applicant will be
notified (see "Appeal Process" below.)
(7) If the design is acceptable as submitted or with minor changes, it will be approved subject
to conditions of approval attached to the plan.
(8) Notice of the Architect's approval is posted on the property, and on the District bulletin
boards. The applicant's copy of the plans with attached conditions will be held at the District office
for pick-up.
APPEAL PROCESS
Following an approval, a conditional approval, or a denial, any person may appeal a decision of the District Architect to the Brooktrails Township Architectural Review Commission.
