VAN BUREN CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR JOE HURST AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: WALLY BAILEY, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND MINIMUM
STREET STANDARDS
DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 2020
The City Subdivision Regulations and Minimum Street Standards establish the criteria to follow
when designing and constructing storm drainage street construction. The current regulations do
not acknowledge the Public Works Standard Specifications and the Standard Drawings for
Public Works Construction.
Though it has been understood and implied that the Standard Specifications and Standard
Drawings have existed for the purpose of providing standardization of all public works
construction in the City of Van Buren these documents the Subdivision Regulations and the
Minimum Street Standards have not acknowledged the requirement to utilize these documents in
the design and construction of storm drainage and street improvements.
To remove any doubt or question about the applicability of the Standard Specification and
Standard Drawings, I have proposed amendments within the Subdivision Regulations and
Minimum Street Standards.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on these amendments at the October 6, 2020
Planning Commission meeting. After discussion the Planning Commission voted affirmatively
to recommend the City Council approve an Ordinance making these amendments.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
