[Ord. 1020-2003, 10-10-2003]
Prior to any work being done on each utility in a subdivision,
the developer must receive approval of the plans for the utility by
the Tahlequah public works authority. It is the developer's responsibility
to ensure that plans are received by the TPWA in sufficient time to
allow plan approval and issuance of approval before the proposed start
of construction. Should the developer or his contractor start work
on a subdivision prior to approval from TPWA for that work, the City
may issue a stop work order. In such case a stop work order is issued,
that order shall remain in effect until such time as the TPWA approval
is issued.

Prior to any work being done on streets and drainage in a subdivision,
the developer must coordinate and receive approval of the plans for
the streets and drainage by the street department. It is the developer's
responsibility to ensure that plans are received by the street department
in sufficient time to allow plan approval and issuance of approval
before the proposed start of construction. Should the developer or
his contractor start work on a street or damage prior to approval
from the street department, the City may issue a stop work order.
In such case the stop work order is issued, that order shall remain
in effect until such time as the street department approval is issued.

If the plans and specifications for the proposed improvements
do not meet the applicable design or construction standards, the assistant
City Administrator shall so notify the owner's engineer, or owner
in writing within 15 working days. This shall serve as notice that
work on the proposed project, as scheduled, is suspended pending approval
of revised plans and specifications.

Water and sanitary sewer system plans require approval and a
permit from the state department of environmental quality before the
proposed system can be tapped into the existing system. The developer
may start work on water and/or sanitary sewer prior to receipt of
the state permit. This will be allowed only upon receipt of a letter
from the owner that clearly states that all work is at the owner's
risk. Systems installed in this manner will not be tapped onto the
existing City system until final state approval is received and any
changes required by the state permit are made.
