C-Sheets Icon - A visual emblem representing specialized construction sheets and documentation

C-Sheets

A Civil Engineering plan (designated as “C” Sheets) shall be required for all new development constructing improvements within the public right-of-way. “C” Sheets shall be submitted separately from the Building Permit plan set for review by the Department of Public Works, concurrently with Building Department review.

Erosion Control Plans Icon - A distinctive symbol emphasizing expertise in erosion prevention and soil stabilization strategies

EROSION CONTROL PLANS

Wet Weather Erosion Control Plans show the minimization of the areas of disturbed soils and the duration of exposure during construction. This assures grading work on private or public projects does not result in soils or other material being washed from the construction site onto other properties or into water courses.

Excavation Plans Icon - A representative emblem underscoring specialization in excavation planning and groundwork strategies

EXCAVATION PLANS

Excavation Plans show limits of the excavation (cut slopes, shoring, or a combination of both), adjacent streets and/or alleys with dimensions, and cross sections at various locations to show excavation details.
