Scope. This section defines the general requirements for improvements to be built. The improvements shall include all street improvements in front of all lots and along all dedicated streets to a connection with existing improvements of the same kind or to the boundary of the subdivision nearest existing improvements. Layout must provide for future extension to adjacent development and to be compatible with the contour of the ground for proper drainage. All water lines, sewer lines, storm drains, land drains and any other buried conduit shall be installed to the boundary lines of the subdivision. SPECIAL NOTE: Any items not described by these standards shall be subject to review and approval by the City Public Works Director or their designees. At the City's sole discretion, alternate methods of construction or deviations from these standards may be required or approved by the City Public Works Director or their designees, when such are necessary to meet the best interests ofthe City. B. Geotechnical Report. A geotechnical report shall be prepared by a licensed Geotechnical Engineer for all Commercial Projects and all Residential Subdivisions where new roadways and utility improvements are required. The Geotechnical Report shall include, but is not limited to the following items: (1) Executive Summary (2) Scope of the Report (3) Site conditions during the preparation of the Report (4) Field Study (5) Subsurface conditions on the site (6) Subsurface water and range of the expected heights of the ground water (7) Proposed construction (8)

FAQs

What is covered in Section 1: General Improvement Requirements?

Section 1 defines general requirements for improvements, including street improvements along dedicated streets and in front of lots, layout for future extension, and proper installation of buried conduits to subdivision boundaries. It also states that unaddressed items require review and approval by the Public Works Director or designees.

When is a geotechnical report required and what must it include?

A geotechnical report must be prepared by a licensed Geotechnical Engineer for all Commercial Projects and residential subdivisions requiring new roadways and utility improvements. The report must include, at minimum, an executive summary, site conditions and field study, subsurface and groundwater information, proposed construction and grading, soil and foundation parameters, paving considerations, lateral earth pressures, seismicity and liquefaction concerns, groundwater and subsurface drain pipes, and drawings showing test pit locations and results.

What storm-water study requirements apply to developed or redeveloped properties?

All properties being developed or redeveloped require a storm water study prepared by a licensed Professional Civil Engineer for submittal and approval. The study must include designs for discharge structures, detention/retention basins, emergency spillways, basin berm and cleaning facilities such as oil/water separators, and on-site and off-site piping connections. It must use current approved methods and be based on a 24-hour, 100-year storm event, with discharge limited to pre-development values.
