Here&#8217;s the complete status report on the city&#8217;s Web site:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Development Services, the Greater San Antonio Builders Association, and approximately fifty of its members met today to discuss the need for the public to feel assured retaining walls in San Antonio have been built correctly.  At the meeting, Development Services discussed:<\/p>\n<p>    * The City\u2019s building code requirements to obtain permits for retaining walls.<br \/>\n    * Builders need to (1) identify all retaining walls over four feet and built during the past three years, (2) provide documentation the walls were designed by an engineer and built correctly, and (3) obtain permits for the walls by March 31st.<br \/>\n    * Development Services will use the information to develop a tracking system for retaining walls.<\/p>\n<p>At the meeting, the builders initially expressed that they did not believe all retaining walls require permits.  In addition, since some of the walls were constructed several years ago, they were concerned about the challenges of finding documentation to satisfy the City\u2019s permitting requirements.  Finally, they expressed a need to amend the Unified Development Code to clarify permits are required during the site development stage of construction.   <\/p>\n<p>Development Services responded to the builders\u2019 concerns by reiterating permits are required for retaining walls over four feet.  The department will work in partnership with the builders to issue permits and to obtain documentation that attest to the safety of the walls by the end of the summer.  Finally, Development Services agreed to explore an amendment to the Unified Development Code to reinforce the procedures for permitting retaining walls during all phases of construction; from land development to building development.<\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the meeting, Development Services and the builders agreed it was important to restore the community\u2019s confidence that existing retaining walls built in San Antonio are safe. Development Services will develop information bulletins and new applications to reinforce the procedures for permitting retaining walls related to new construction.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interesting status report was posted online tonight by San Antonio officials who are examining the retaining wall collapse at the Hills of Rivermist.
