D. PLANNING AND ENGINEERING <br /> In 1994 and beyond, it is anticipated that the Public Works <br /> Department will have a distinctly different lock. The recent elimination <br /> of the Public Works Director/City Engineer position has resulted in a <br /> reorganization of the duties and responsibilities of the entire <br /> department. Specifically, the Department has now gone to a <br /> "Divisional" type arrangement with the administrative duties being <br /> handled by the Planning and Engineering Division and, the <br /> Maintenance responsibilities dealt with by the Public Works Division. <br /> The Planning and Engineering Division, currently consisting of the <br /> City Planner, Engineering Aide, Building Inspector, Recycling <br /> Coordinator/Code Enforcement Officer and Department Secretary, has <br /> as its focus the administrative application of land use and building <br /> regulations as adopted by the Municipal Code. The main goal of the <br /> Division is to ensure that development within the City is accomplished <br /> in accordance with the requirements spelled out in various City <br /> Codes as well as providing for a conducive living and working habitat <br /> for Mounds View's resident population. <br /> Services provided by the Division include: <br /> a. Planning and Zoning Review, zoning code enforcement, <br /> development review, planning and zoning code review. <br /> b. Building inspection, fire inspection, housing inspection <br /> and plan review. <br /> c. Recycling coordination and reporting, educational activities <br /> to reduce solid waste disposal problems and incentives for <br /> recycling. <br /> d. Implementation of zoning and sign code regulations including <br /> issuance of permits and enforcement of violations: also <br /> including enforcement of public nuisance codes related to land <br /> use. <br /> 25 <br />
