Re: City Commission Inquiry Regarding "Engineering" Responsibilities of Public
Works/Utilities Director Pursuant to Sections 8-93 Through 8-96 of the City Code of
Ordinances
At the City Commission meeting of February 27, 2001, you inquired as to whether the
City may be entrusting engineering decisions to the Public Works/Utilities Director, pursuant
to the ordinance amending numerous chapters of the City Code, particularly with respect to the
sections that replace the term "City Engineer" with the term "Public Works/Utilities"
Director.
We reviewed the new ordinance and determined that the relevant sections of the code
are sections 8-93 through 8-96. They address the paving of private property and state as
follows (as a result of the amended law adopted at the meeting mentioned above):
Sec. 8-93. Permit required.
It shall be unlawful for any person to pave driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, private streets and
other privately owned areas within the city unless a permit authorizing such paving is first
obtained from the city building effieials division.
Sec. 8-94. Drawings to be submitted to, approved by eity engineer Public Works/Utilities
Director.
Before the issuance by the city building official of a permit authorizing paving of driveways,
sidewalks, parking lots, private streets and privately owned areas within the city the applicant for
the permit shall submit a drawing of the contemplated paving, with an indication on the drawing
as to the estimated cost of the paving, to the eity engineef PublicWorks/UtilitiesDirector, and the
applicant for the permit shall obtain approval of the drawing from the
PublicWorks/UtilitiesDirector.
Sec. 8-95. Prerequisites to engineer4 Public Works/Utilities Director's approval.
The eity enginee Public Works Utilities Director shall not approve any drawing until he the
Director establishes thereon grades, width of driveways and location of safety islands, where
® appropriate.
Sec. 8-96. Minimum standards required; approval by Public Works/Utilities
Director.
The Public Works Utilities Director shall not approve any drawing of contemplated
paving unless the following minimum standards, where applicable, are complied with:
(a) Concrete sidewalks shall be four (4) inches thick;
(b) Drop sidewalks for driveways shall be six (6) inches thick with a depression of
three (3) inches at the street edge; and
(c) Corners at intersections of streets shall have safety islands with a minimum width of
eight (8) feet on each side of the corner, the width to be measured along the inside of the
sidewalks adjacent to the corner.
Pursuant to a meeting I attended with the City Manager, Public Works/Utilities
Director, Growth Management Director and our Building Official (at which a number of
matters were discussed, including this matter), it was determined that the opinion of,an
independent engineer was desirable as to the need, if any, for "engineering" expertise for the
® foregoing approvals.

Before the issuance by the city building official of a permit authorizing paving of driveways,

the permit shall submit a drawing of the contemplated paving, with an indication on the drawing

PublicWorks/UtilitiesDirector.

The Public Works Utilities Director shall not approve any drawing until he the
Director establishes thereon grades, width of driveways and location of safety islands, where
® appropriate.
Sec. 8-96. Minimum standards required; approval by c-ity engineerPublic Works/Utilities
Director.
The Public Works Utilities Director shall not approve any drawing of contemplated
paving unless the following minimum standards, where applicable, are complied with:
(a) Concrete sidewalks shall be four (4) inches thick;
(b) Drop sidewalks for driveways shall be six (6) inches thick with a depression of
three (3) inches at the street edge; and
(c) Corners at intersections of streets shall have safety islands with a minimum width of
eight (8) feet on each side of the corner, the width to be measured along the inside of the
sidewalks adjacent to the corner.
Pursuant to a meeting I attended with the City Manager, Public Works/Utilities
Director, Growth Management Director and our Building Official (at which a number of
matters were discussed, including this matter), it was determined that the opinion of an
® independent engineer was desirable as to the need, if any, for "engineering" expertise for the
foregoing approvals.
We consulted with Mr. Henry Talton, the City Engineer for the City of Miramar and a
registered Florida P.E. for many years. I have known Mr. Talton for a number of years, from
my working days with him at the City of Fort Lauderdale. Mr. Talton advised that the
responsibilities described in the code sections above could routinely be performed by the Public
Works/Utilities Director. However, if a project was more complex, the Director may want to
consult with the City's engineering consultant. Based upon our discussion with Mr. Talton, we
believe that the text of the new ordinance can remain as it was recently adopted.
