It is the intent of these design standards to outline the minimum requirements for streets, and related construction, in areas where new development is proposed and for improvements to existing developments.
(Ord. 483 § 2, 1980)
It is recognized that deviations from these standards may be necessary on projects which have special or limiting requirements and it is herein emphasized that each project will be considered on an individual basis. The requirements of these design standards do not relieve a developer, contractor, builder, or private property owner from his responsibility to comply with the requirements of other codes, standards or ordinances applicable to the planning and construction of improvements as agreed upon with the city.
(Ord. 483 § 2, 1980)
This chapter shall apply to improvements on property other than new plats, wherein the property utilizes existing or proposed public right-of-way. Improvements shall include new buildings, remodeling, parking lots, etc., requiring construction of streets and utilities deemed necessary by the city. Necessity shall be determined by the function of the improvement, community safety and welfare, and shall include aesthetics.
(Ord. 483 § 2, 1980)
Minimum requirements for single-family residential buildings shall be installation and/or replacement of sidewalk. Development of three or more contiguous single-family residential buildings will require street construction (half or full section) complete with required utilities.
(Ord. 483 § 2, 1980)
Commercial and multifamily buildings shall construct the necessary streets, sidewalks and utilities, etc., extended beyond the property as deemed necessary by the city. Water mains shall be improved to meet fire flow requirements as established by the fire marshal and the city.
(Ord. 483 § 2, 1980)
