Council Member Sandy Nurse inquires about the most time-consuming part of the bathroom siting process, which can take 10 to 16 months in the pre-design phase. Ya-Ting Liu explains the complexities involved in site preparation.

  • The most time-intensive part of the process is site work, including utilities, sewer, and electrical underground preparations
  • Additional considerations include drainage, sloping, and grading of the site
  • These preparatory steps are necessary before the actual bathroom structure can be installed

One final question.
0:50:39
Sorry.
0:50:40
Two final questions.

I'll be very brief.
0:50:42
In the local law 114 report, it showed that the predesigned phase for bathroom, a bathroom siding process takes about 10 to 16 months.

And we're just wondering at what part of this process what part of this process is is the most time consuming before it gets before we get an actual design for folks.

Yeah.

I I there's colleagues from the Park's department here.
0:51:16
So colleagues definitely jump in if I'm if I'm misrepresenting this in any way.
0:51:21
But my understanding is that at least in the parks department side, there's site work So in other words, all of this utilities and sewer and electrical underground is one massive sort of time intensive process.
0:51:40
And a lot of times, it's not just as simple as sort of putting in this 20 by 20 sort of box, if you will, onto a site.
0:51:47
But it's a site investigation work, drainage, utilities, sloping, grading, all of these other considerations analysis, take a lot of time before you even get to the box part of the structure.
