Through August we have had 87 residential buildings permits for the year. \u00a0This number exceeds the yearly total for each year back to and including 2008.<\/p>\n

FROM TERRE GIFT, BUILDING OFFICIAL –\u00a0<\/strong>While the number of residential inspections remained steady, the number of new residential permits decreased slightly and the number of plans submitted also decreased.\u00a0 Hayden Homes and Vista Homes continued to lead as the busiest residential contractors. \u00a0Hayden Homes has 14 homes scheduled for completion in September and is about to excavate for another block of homes.\u00a0 Vista Homes has slowed their pace somewhat due to 2 other developments underway and not enough sub-contractors.\u00a0 In fact, all the builders have expressed frustration in scheduling sub-contractors due to the high volume of homes being built in the entire region. \u00a0\u00a0Jerry Gravell is more than 50% completed with his last 4 townhomes.\u00a0 Cashatt Construction is nearing completion of his 3rd home on Ichabod. \u00a0Jim Raze construction is nearing completion of\u00a0 his home in Salmon Creek estates. In addition to the new construction, there is about half a \u00a0dozen residential remodels currently underway.<\/p>\n

Commercial activities remained active in September.\u00a0 The Cedars Laundromat has officially opened.\u00a0 \u00a0The establishment boasts all new machines that are the most efficient in the industry and are monitored remotely on line.\u00a0 The place has been very active and is open every day. Three years after opening, the Sandy High School has obtained their Certificate of Occupancy.\u00a0 There had been several small items, and one larger one that needed to be completed.\u00a0 The Fire Department Connection (FDC) for the building is located at the southwest corner of the building.\u00a0 It is a 8 inch pipe with 2 hose connections that normally has red, tamper-resistant covers.\u00a0 The covers had been missing for more than a year.\u00a0 We required that the high school camera the line to verify that nothing had been dropped into the FDC and might block the line in the event of a fire.\u00a0 Upon inspection, sure enough there was a trash bag from someone\u2019s school lunch was at the bottom of the riser, and most surely would have caused a serious problem.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Clackamas County and the City of Sandy has been in discussion to update coordination of permitting and inspections and through inter-governmental agreement.\u00a0 All Electrical permits and inspections are provided by Clackamas County, as authorized by Oregon Building Codes Division.\u00a0 (The Building, Energy, Mechanical, and Plumbing permits and inspections are provided by the City of Sandy Building Department.\u00a0\u00a0 Our goal is to provide all permitting and inspections through the City of Sandy within the next 5 years<\/p>\n
