  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.

Select EXEMPTION CRITERIA to see criteria required for Developments to be considered exempt from School Concurrency review.

Requests for vesting determinations shall be made in writing and addressed to:

    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.
