<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Stephanie:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a licensed engineer, who has for the last nine years switched over to the planning side of things, I have perhaps a different perspective on this matter. I have found over my many years in private engineering practice that there tend
to be two types of planners. There are those who view their boards and roles as strictly regulatory (and will only review the projects that are placed in front of them for compliance), and those who more actively offer suggestions and comments throughout
the process. The 53G peer reviewers usually only see the finished project, and that is often all they comment on. There are often multiple ways to design a site, and having an in-house engineering staff, or knowledgeable planner, can often enable discussions prior
to the final submittal. That person usually has a better idea of local problems and issues than an out of town reviewer, and early input usually results in a better final project. I always send projects out for a final review to a 53G consultant, but often
coordinate during the design phase to offer comments on alternatives that arise. Often we get peer review money upfront, before submittal, so that coordination with the reviewer is possible early on. Also, if a project comes in that appears to be poorly
designed, I often refuse to send it out for engineering review until after the public hearing and discussion by the Board. The developers do not usually appreciate that approach, but I don't want to be in a position where the engineering design works, but
the overall project is poorly laid out from a planning perspective. In summary, I would say it doesn't have to be an either-or approach. There is a place for both in house and outside review on most projects. However, I do agree with Valerie that it is
important that the final design be by the project engineer, and any in house reviews are comments only, so as to be careful of raising any liability issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
