(A) Prior to beginning the construction of a new aquatic facility or the extensive remodeling of an existing aquatic facility, the owner shall submit plans and specifications for such construction or remodeling to the City Building Inspections Department for review.
(B) The plans and specifications shall indicate the proposed layout and arrangement of mechanical, plumbing, fencing, electrical, construction materials of work areas, the type, and model of proposed fixed equipment and facilities and all associated buildings or structures.
(C) A licensed professional engineer shall examine the final aquatic facility design/blueprints for all new and extensively remodeled aquatic facilities (including structural, mechanical, plumbing or electrical renovations) and certify by original signature and engineer's seal compliance with state aquatic facility regulations and this chapter.
(D) No work shall begin until regulatory authority has received the engineer's certificate of pre-construction, conducted a plan review, and has communicated with the City Building Inspections Department that a building permit may be issued. Work shall commence and conclude within the time allowed by such permits. Deviations from approved plans shall not be permitted without approval in writing from the regulatory authority and the City Building Inspections Department. If no work has begun within 180 days from the date the regulatory authority has given written notice that work may begin, or if work has begun and is halted more than 60 days, the Director may withdraw approval.
(E) The aquatic facility construction shall pass a pre-gunite inspection, pre-plaster inspection and pre-operational inspection by the regulatory authority prior to issuance of a permit. The completion of these inspections by a regulatory authority does not substitute or replace inspections required by other departments within the city.
(F) It is the responsibility of the person in charge to ensure that the building permit applicant and licensed professional engineer comply with all zoning, building, fire, and health ordinances of the city.
