The Planning and Development Services Division, headed by Deputy Director Mark Loethen, is responsible for utility planning and the permitting/inspection process. The process includes the initial analysis of the availability of public utilities, the planning and design of a new development, the issuance of building permits and ultimately certificates of occupancy. Customers can find assistance within this division for seeking approvals of abandoning public easements and rights of way, construction of new water and/or wastewater lines in public rights of way, obtaining utility commitment letters, storm drainage and storm water quality control requirements, permitting, code enforcement and inspection requirements. The division is divided into five major branches as follows:
