Where permits are generally required by other regulations of the city, they shall
be obtained before installation of improvements begin. In other cases, approval of
plans and specifications by all agencies or officers required to pass thereon by state
or local law shall constitute permission to proceed.
During the preparation of land and the installation of general improvements, inspections
shall be made to insure conformity with the plans, specifications and standards established
by the laws of the city. Except where the nature and timing of such inspections is
set forth generally by other regulations of the city, required inspections shall be
indicated on the approved copy of the plans and specifications returned to the subdivider
or his agent.
Appropriate agencies of the city may make inspections at any time during the progress
of the work, but if a required inspection has not been made by the time the work reaches
the stage where such inspection is called for, the subdivider or his agent shall notify
the agency involved not less than two (2) working days in advance of the time such
inspection is requested, unless the agency involved has previously agreed to a shorter
period for notification. The agency responsible for making the inspection shall not
be required to do so with less than the required notice. These provisions shall not
be construed to require inspection of construction or installation of their own facilities,
by public service corporations that have received franchises from the City of Virginia
Beach.
