esponsibility in verifying and protecting monuments, and how a developer gets approval to
disturb a monument.
The SPU PMED Survey Plan Reviewer performs survey reviews as a service to SDOT. Through
this review, street alignments, rights of way, and horizontal and vertical survey control data are
verified.
The Survey Plan Reviewer uses City Survey records, City quarter section (engineering) maps, City
ordinance records, County records, superior court cause documents, State and County survey
control data bases, and occasionally field verification to confirm that the submitted plan or base
map is a reasonable representation and interpretation of survey control.
The Survey reviewer may also be asked to review new plats, short plats and lot boundary
adjustments submitted to SDOT. In the case of new plats, geometry, ROW, and control of realigned
streets are checked, and ties to control outside of the plat are reviewed.
If the survey is incorrect, inadequate, or unverified, the reviewer may return the plan to the
developer to correct before design review.
Survey review is also performed for SPU and SDOT CIP alignments.
18.4.8 Solid Waste Plan Review
The SPU Solid Waste Division in USM reviews Building Permit plans for larger multi-family,
commercial and industrial projects to assure the following:
Garbage trucks have sufficient access to dumpsters
There is sufficient storage available for solid waste dumpsters
Dumpsters can be safely moved from their storage location to the pickup location
Note: At the time of DSG publication, DPD identifies when Solid Waste should be involved and
routes plans directly to the Solid Waste Division.
18.4.9 Build-overs
SPU may allow a developer to construct a permanent structure over an existing sewer or storm
main located in an easement on private property subject to site specific engineering and
maintenance requirements. If any or all of the requirements can’t be met SPU reserves the right
to reject the proposed build-over. SPU prefers re-routing the existing main around the
proposed build-over if the longitudinal grade allows it to maintain the minimum velocity or less.
Real Property Services (RPS) is the primary point of contact and they work with the Plan
Reviewer to determine that the City’s rights and facilities are adequately protected. The
developer must agree to pay the administrative costs plus excess future costs due to the
project’s construction. For detailed information on build-overs, see CAM 507.
Note: Build-overs are generally only approved for drainage or wastewater mains. Build-overs are
almost never approved for water mains.
