Hi,
As a member of the chamber I certainly do believe a rewrite of the code would solve problems and
provide financial savings for a multitude of users, including the city. It should also allow the process
to be accelerated as builders/developers will be able to provide the correct concepts the first time,
will not have to rely on one planner to complete their project, and have fewer reviews. City planners
will be able to go to one source, ensuring they are able to give a speedy and correct ruling on the
vast majority of the issues in front of them. If they can complete each plan set using even 10% less
time, they will then be able to work on the next project with an anticipated faster resolution to that
document. It is our hope and belief that this will save all of us time and money, not to mention the
improved job satisfaction for planners and the perception in the building community, that although
our standards are rigorous, the city, and its staff do respect the nature of time and money is critical
to successful projects.
Thank you for considering this rewrite in these tedious financial times. It will be a legacy type
project bringing together the rules and regulations from the past in a format that further enhances
our city’s future.
Respectfully, Greg Metzger
