| This amendment is an attempt to circumvent the current Title 21 rewrite process and an attempt to solve 'personnel' disagreements by changing ordinances. This is not the purpose of amending ordinances. The Building Board does not have the ability nor technical personnel to enforce subdivision agreements and they should not be given that duty. The enforcement of good design standards and having all permits and studies in place before starting a project is only now reaching the point that has been reached in the more progressive cities 'outside' long ago. Subdivision Agreements is a section of T-21 that is being rewritten in the current rewrite process, and this amendment is an attempt to circumvent the public process so that development can procede with the past poor practices that have given us huge drainage impacts and other poor development. This amendment is a thinly disquired attempt to have 'business as usual' for the developers. If there is a problem with stop work orders and appeals, fix those problems with internal policies at Public Works. Do not use the amendment process to solve potential problems that are not worthy of the procedure. This amendment would be a step backwards in Anchorage's attempt to produce good development. | |
