DEVELOPER INSTALLED IMPROVEMENTS
SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS:
Before submitting civil construction drawings for review by the Engineering Division, you must
complete the Land Use Decision Process, if applicable. (However, if the proposed public
improvement is not based on a Land Use Decision please contact the Engineering Division directly
for staff input prior to beginning design and then proceed to “Plan Review Submittals”.)
Listed below are the steps you must complete through the Planning Department prior to submitting
civil construction plans to the Engineering Division for review. (These are general in nature. Please
refer to Article 3 in the Grants Pass Development code for complete details at:
http://www.grantspassoregon.gov/221/Development-Code )
o Pre-Application Conference
o Submittal of Formal Application Materials

Once you receive the final decision from the Planning Department (either in the form of a Director’s
Decision for Type 1 Procedure or in the form of Findings of Fact for Types 2-5 Procedures) and the
conditions require your development to install public improvements, you can submit your construction
plans to the Engineering Division for review.

4
Gas, Phone, Cable, ODOT, Josephine County Public Works, etc.).
Step 2: After the Developer’s Engineer receives sign-offs from the other agencies, the final plans must
then be resubmitted to the City to be signed-off for Approval of Construction. Developer’s Engineer
shall provide three (3) sets of approved plans prior to start of construction. (Please note: The sign-off
for approval of construction does not constitute approval to start construction).
Construction Drawing As-builts:
“As-built” Mylars with a signed and dated “Project Certification on the front page must be submitted to
the Engineering Department prior to Final Plat approval, issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or final
inspection, which ever is applicable. The Project Certification shall state the following:
“I hereby certify that this project was constructed to the lines, grade and section as shown on
these plans and that all materials and workmanship are in conformance with the plans and
applicable specifications.
Pre-Construction Meeting:
The pre-construction meeting will not be held until the following items are complete:
