DSD will determine when a proposed development project requires a dedication and refer the customer to a Dedication Specialist, who will examine the request and address submittal requirements. All submittals must comply with the Dedication Guidelines and include a Dedication Application, Questionnaire, and Drawing. When the customer is ready to submit their request, they contact the Dedication Specialist, who will review the submittal prior to forwarding it to Central Log-in, who will review it for completeness. If the submittal is incomplete, the customer must make the corrections and return after deficiencies are addressed. If the submittal is meets all requirements, the customer proceeds to Central Log-in and completes the Site Development Civil Engineering Services Submittal Form Staff reviews the application for completeness, accuracy, staff requirements, and verifies related information, such as legal description. If the submittal is incomplete, staff notifies the customer to correct the deficiencies and to resubmit the request (return to Step #2). If the submittal meets all the requirements, documents are routed to the Real Estate Division for review and processing. Real Estate staff prepare the title report and instrument, contact the property owner via certified letter to review and sign the dedication documents. The customer completes the review, signs the necessary documents, and returns them to Real Estate for a final review. If all documents are in order and ready for City Council action, Real Estate notifies DSD, prepares documents for recording, the ordinance of acceptance, and Request for Council Action. The city may now release building permits and water meters, unless a dedication ordinance is required by the Water Services Department. The City Council approves the dedication request, the ordinance is adopted, and recorded documents are sent to the city Clerk’s Office for recording and computer mapping. Since the dedication ordinance is now adopted, Water Services may now release water meters.
