A. For the
purpose of this Chapter, "infrastructure improvements" shall be designated as those streets, curbs and gutters, sidewalks,
street lights, water mains, sanitary sewer lines, stormwater conveyances,
natural gas lines and any other utility services and appurtenances
that are necessary for the functional development of all residential
and non-residential land uses in the City of Hermann.
B. All plans,
project specifications and reports submitted shall be prepared by
or under the direction of a professional engineer, licensed in the
State of Missouri and shall be reviewed by the City for compliance
with the minimum design requirements as established in this regulation
and with all other applicable City codes and ordinances.
C. Attention
is directed to the design engineer that whenever extraordinary or
unusual problems are encountered in conjunction with a proposed project,
additional information and analysis beyond the minimum requirements
of these standards and criteria will be required.
D. The City
of Hermann is not responsible for the accuracy and the adequacy of
the design or dimensions and elevations as depicted on the plans (which
shall be confirmed and correlated at the site of the work). The City
of Hermann, through the approval of the plans and/or report, assumes
no responsibility for the completeness and/or accuracy of the public
improvement plan or report.
E. All developers
and engineering consultants submitting plans for infrastructure improvement
projects to the City for review are required to follow the procedures
outlined in the following. No infrastructure improvements may be constructed
in the City of Hermann without the prior approval of the office of
the City's consulting engineer.
F. Private
improvements, if any, shown on public improvement plans shall be clearly
defined and marked as such. These improvements will not be maintained
by the City of Hermann and, as such, an appropriate note shall be
included on the drawings.
[Ord. No. 1620 §1, 9-25-2006]
A. Three
(3) complete sets of prints and digital copies of the plans in .pdf
and AutoCAD 2004 or later format of engineered plans and specifications
shall be submitted to the office of the City's consulting engineer
for review. The plans shall be in State plan coordinate system and
U.S.G.S. vertical datum. The normal time for review shall be fifteen
(15) working days. In the case of abnormally large sets of prints
or of extremely complicated drawings, a longer time may be required
for review.
B. The project
plans will be routed through appropriate City departments to obtain
a complete review of all facilities that may be affected by the proposed
construction. In each review, comments and necessary revisions will
be noted on the project plans.
C. Subsequent
to the review of the plans, the design engineer, consultant or his
representative shall be notified by telephone that the submittal is
ready for return.
D. The design
engineer or consultant will be required to make all necessary corrections
or revisions as noted on the project plans. Upon completion of the
revisions and/or corrections the plans will again be submitted to
the City's consulting engineer's office for further review. Revised
sheets submitted shall contain a revision block with identifying notations
and date of revisions. All previous project plans must accompany each
resubmittal. If the project plans are not submitted with the revised
drawings, the plans shall be returned to the consultant without action
until such time as they are included with the submittal.
E. Plans
will not receive final approval until all supplemental easements,
if necessary, have been duly recorded and a copy has been provided
to the City. Additionally and in conjunction with submittal of final

Such plans and/or reports shall be resubmitted to the office of the
City's consulting engineer in accordance with the foregoing outlined
procedures and requirements.
H. The design
engineer shall send one (1) set of plans to each of the private and
public utility companies having territorial jurisdiction in the area
of the improvement upon notification that the drawings have been approved.
