Title 16 SUBDIVISIONS
Chapter 16.56 DESIGN STANDARDS, SANITARY SEWER AND WATER SUPPLY
16.56.010 Design standards, sanitary sewer and water supply.
A. Sanitary Sewer Facilities.
1. There shall be provided a sanitary sewerage system in conformity with
the official map. The design plans for such sewers shall be reviewed and
approved by the city engineer.
2. The subdivider shall make adequate sewage disposal systems available to
each lot within the subdivision or certified survey map parcel.
3. Subdivisions and certified survey map parcels shall be served by public
sewer facilities. The size, type, and installation of any sanitary sewers
proposed to be constructed shall be in accordance with plans and specifications
approved by the city.
4. The subdivider shall assume the cost of installing all sanitary sewers
of a size being adequate to serve the proposed development or a pipe size of ten
inches in diameter or less in size, including the bringing of the sanitary sewer
from where it exists to the land division in question, as well as providing all
sanitary sewer work within the land division. If greater than ten inch diameter
sewers are required to handle the contemplated sewage flows, the costs of such
larger sewers shall be prorated in proportion to the ratio of the total area of
the proposed subdivision or certified survey map to the total drainage area to
be served by such larger sewer and the excess cost either borne by the city or
assessed against the total tributary drainage area.
5. Any and all sanitary sewer improvements shall be extended to the
boundary lines of the tract to be subdivided, unless prevented by topography or
other physical conditions, or unless, in the opinion of the city council, upon
the recommendation of the plan commission, such extension is not necessary or
desirable for the coordination of the layout of the subdivision with the
existing layout or the most advantageous future development of adjacent
tracts.
B. Water Supply Facilities.
1. There shall be provided a water supply system in conformity with the
official map. The design plans for such system shall be reviewed and approved by
the city engineer.
2. The subdivider shall make adequate water supply systems available to
each lot within the subdivision or certified survey map parcel.
3. Subdivisions and certified survey map parcels shall be served by public
water facilities. The size, type, and installation of any water facilities
proposed to be constructed shall be in accordance with plans and specifications
approved by the city.
4. The subdivider shall assume the cost of installing all water mains of
a size being adequate to serve the proposed development or a pipe size of eight
inches in diameter or less in size, including the bringing of the water supply
from where it exists to the land division in question, as well as providing all
water distribution work within the land division. If greater than eight inch
diameter mains are required to handle the contemplated demand, the costs of such
larger pipes shall be prorated in proportion to the ratio of the total area of
the proposed subdivision or certified survey map to the total area to be served
by such larger pipe and the excess cost either borne by the city or assessed
against the larger area.
5. The water pressure service standard for the city is two thousand
(2,000) gallons per minute (GPM) for lots platted for commercial and multifamily
development and one thousand (1,000) gallons per minute (GPM) for lots platted
for single-family and duplex residential development.
6. Any and all water system improvements shall be extended to the boundary
lines of the tract to be subdivided, unless prevented by topography or other
physical conditions, or unless, in the opinion of the city council, upon the
recommendation of the plan commission, such extension is not necessary or
desirable for the coordination of the layout of the subdivision with the
existing layout or the most advantageous future development of adjacent tracts.
