SCHOOL CONCURRENCY UPDATE
Guidelines for
determining vesting rights related to School Concurrency
On July
7, 2008, City Council adopted the Amended Interlocal Agreement for
Public School Facility Planning and Implementation of Concurrency. This
agreement provides for a uniform, district-wide public school
concurrency management system. Per this agreement, an applicant must
apply for School Concurrency upon or prior to the submission of an
application for a Preliminary Plat or Site Plan. Beginning on Monday,
September 29, 2008, the City of Orlando will require all applications
for Master Plan or Subdivision review, including Minor and Major Plats,
that have a residential component, be reviewed for School Concurrency.
For these applications, the proposed development information shall
include a preliminary layout showing the approximate locations and
number of dwelling units.
Developments that have an approved Master Plan and/or Minor or Major
Subdivision Plat will be considered vested for School Concurrency.

LASER PROFILING OF STORM
LINES
Notice to contractors who are
currently working on commercial public and private infrastructure
improvements:
Over the past few weeks there has
been questions asked about the videotaping storm lines before your final
inspection. The City of Orlando is now requiring contractors to laser
profile their storm lines instead of videotaping the lines as we have in
the past. Our Engineering Standards Manual (ESM), clearly states that
the most current FDOT practices supersede what is in the ESM. It does
not matter when you started your project, everyone must adhere to the
new requirement. The contractor is responsible for making arrangements
to have your lines laser profiled.
Please refer to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
Standards Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction 2007 Section
430 for the most current laser profiling requirements. For more
information, please visit FDOT’s website at
www.dot.state.fl.us/Specificationsoffice/2007BK/430.pdf
Special note: As noted in the FDOT Spec Book, any pipe deflection
over 5%, the pipe must be removed and replaced from structure to
structure, no exceptions. requirement. The contractor is responsible for making
arrangements to have your lines laser profiled.
