In all subdivisions, the streets, alleys, lots and easements
shall be laid out to provide for water lines, sanitary sewers and
drainage facilities in a manner satisfactory to the city engineer.
Permanent improvements such as sewers and laterals, water mains (where
it is necessary that they be built in the streets) and curbs, gutters
and paving conforming to approved standards shall be required on all
streets. All streets and alleys shall be graded to a width and improved
to a grade approved by and in a manner satisfactory to the city engineer
and in conformity with the provisions of this division.
(Prior code § 27-61.01)
A.
The
street grading and improvement shall include the necessary surface
improvements, sewer, water pipes and other public utilities, catchbasins,
pipe culverts, and storm drains.
B.
Drainage
easements shall be improved in such a manner as may be required by
the city engineer for the protection of property against stormwater
damage or erosion.
(Prior code § 27-61.02)
A.
Property
which the advisory agency determines as subject to inundation, overflow
by stormwater, or any conditions which would make such property unsuitable
for residential, commercial or industrial uses shall not be accepted
for subdivision purposes.
B.
Reserve
strips of land controlling ingress and egress from other properties
or having the effect, in the opinion of the advisory agency, of damaging
the adjoining properties or which will not be desirable for taxing
or assessing purposes shall not be permitted.
C.
No
property in hillside areas which cannot be provided with adequate
water pressure and other facilities for firefighting shall be subdivided.
D.
Land
adjacent to public water supply sources and reservoirs shall be strictly
regulated in matters of sewerage and waste disposal so as not to endanger
the health of the people of the city.
(Prior code § 27-61.03)
Where lots back up to a street or highway and where it is intended
that there be no access from such lot to the street or highway against
which they back, a six-foot masonry wall shall be erected on the rear
property line as a physical separation between the lot and the street
or highway.
(Prior code § 27-61.04)
Plans for special blocks, called "super blocks," may be submitted
to the advisory agency for approval when such blocks propose special
design features which will provide for greater amenities than those
set forth in the minimum standard provisions of this chapter and where
no hardship is placed upon the community as a whole by the approval
of such super block plans.
(Prior code § 27-61.05)
Where the subdivision is adjacent to a railroad right-of-way
or an important truck highway and the topography of the country or
the master plan indicates that such property may be used for industrial
purposes, highways aligned in the same direction with the railroad
or truck route will be required to be located as nearly parallel to
such routes of rights-of-way as practicable.
(Prior code § 27-61.06)
The subdivider shall, subject to riparian rights, dedicate a
right-of-way for storm drainage purposes conforming substantially
with the lines of any natural watercourse, channel, stream or creek
that traverses the subdivision or, at the option of the subdivider,
provide by dedication further and sufficient easements or construction,
or both, to dispose of such surface waters and stormwaters.
(Prior code § 27-61.07)
No lot shall be divided by a city boundary line. Each such boundary
line shall be made a lot line.
(Prior code § 27-61.08)
