Site Prep:
• Utility power or host power? If former, then utility field services needs to check the site’s power capacity and needs.• Host power is easier.
• Any utility easements?• Some allow for a variance, others do not.
• Historical district constraints?
Lessons Learned … Planning
Highly variable processing time• Low: 3 days (Durham)• High: 8 weeks (Mecklenburg County)• If easements or historical site constraints are involved,
processing could take 2-3 months…or more
Lessons Learned … Permitting
‘Departments’ often involved in permit application review:
Lessons Learned … Permitting
• Planning• Zoning • Buildings• Engineering• Stormwater
• Public Works• Public Utilities• Fire• Inspections • ADA
Some of these departments are combined; others are not.
Delays commonly due to:• Stormwater review (3-5 days)*• Building permit required in addition to electrical permit (3-5
days)*• ADA review (1-3 days)*• Address assignment for submeter (up to 5 days)*• Multiple jurisdiction reviews needed (1-2 weeks)
*These steps are always or often unnecessary
Lessons Learned … Permitting
• Inspections scheduled via call-in; often the inspections office cannot pinpoint the date/time of inspection
• Contractor must have someone on site when inspector arrives, so they wait…and wait…
• First-time success with the Final Inspection varies
• Sometimes inspector will arrive…and then leave
Lessons Learned … Inspections
- Submit to permitting as soon as site drawings are complete*
- Find the simplest power solution (avoid needing transformer upgrades)
- If utility power is inevitable, bring them out early to assess site power needs … no surprises!
Best Practices
* Even if site agreement not signed yet; may not be possible in all jurisdictions
- Utilize Business Liaison contacts- Find “in” connections in city/county
offices and enlist their help- Visit permitting offices in person to
check status ... Kill them with kindness and persistence
- Consider using a permit expediter if budget allows
