“On-site”
means utilities on the subject property. Unless otherwise provided by this code, all improvements shall be at the sole cost and expense of the developer, who shall provide, install or cause to be installed, including, but not limited to, the following:
A. 
Water mains and fire hydrants, sanitary sewer mains, storm drain mains and all associated equipment and easements required by the city.
B. 
Electrical, communication, and cable TV conduits or raceways and transformer bases.

(Ord. 89-O-446 § 1. Formerly 16.05.010; Ord. 07-O-596)
“Off-site”
means city utilities not on the subject property.
A. 
New single-family or duplex development on an existing lot may not be required to upgrade existing city water, sanitary sewer, or storm drain mains, unless deemed necessary by the site plan committee. The site plan committee will determine if up-sizing of utility infrastructure is needed to accommodate the proposed development and what funding mechanisms would be employed.
B. 
New multifamily or commercial development will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The site plan committee will determine if up-sizing of utility infrastructure is needed to accommodate the proposed development and what funding mechanisms would be employed. If the site plan committee allows deferment of the up-sizing, the deferred improvement agreement (DIA) process will be as described in BMC § 17.170.070.
C. 
Land divisions will be handled as stated in subsection (B) of this section.
D. 
Conditional use permits will be dealt with as stated in subsection (B) of this section only if the approval of the application will result in more intense use of the subject property.
E. 
The site plan committee’s decision regarding required improvements to existing city infrastructure may be appealed to the planning commission.
F. 
If the original developer is required to install off-site improvements, future reimbursement may be applicable. The public works document, “General Engineering Requirements and Standard Specifications,” contains provisions for the reimbursement process.
(Ord. 07-O-596)
A. 
Public Utility Easements (PUE). All development including partitions, subdivisions, and planned communities shall provide a continuous five-foot PUE adjacent to the right-of-way on street frontages to be utilized for water-related equipment (meters, valves, etc.) and other utilities (electrical pedestals, street lights, telephone and other facilities).
B. 
Unless determined as unnecessary by the city, an easement dedicated to the city shall be placed over all water and sanitary sewer mains and storm drain facilities, including natural water-courses used for engineered drainage, located across private property or common areas. The width of the required easement will be determined at the time of review and approval of construction plans for the facility.
(Ord. 89-O-446 § 1. Formerly 16.05.030; Ord. 94-O-446.U § 4; Ord. 07-O-596)
Primary utility lines, including, but not limited to, electricity, communications, street lighting and cable television, shall be required to be placed underground, whenever possible. Secondary utility lines must be undergrounded. All such service and facilities shall be located in a public utility easement or right-of-way with a junction box. The developer shall confer with each utility company to determine the necessary conduits and equipment, their location and installation requirements. All costs of such equipment and installation shall be at the developer’s cost or as agreed to between the developer and the utility provider.
(Ord. 89-O-446 § 1. Formerly 17.168.120; Ord. 07-O-596)
A. 
Main Extension. Where no city utility mains presently exist, a condition of development permit approval will be provision of basic urban services (water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage and streets) along the full length of all portions of the subject property fronting a public right-of-way. Installation of services shall be according to the provisions of the city’s current edition of the Infrastructure Development Guidelines.
B. 
Lateral Extension. Laterals must be stubbed out to the property lines of any proposed new lots or parcels when mains are extended or street improvements are required and installed. The applicant may request an exemption from this requirement by providing site plan committee with documentation of extraordinary circumstances.
(Ord. 89-O-446 § 1. Formerly 17.168.130; Ord. 07-O-596; Ord. 14-O-741 § 1)
The developer shall cause plans and specifications for all public improvements to be prepared by an engineer registered in the state of Oregon. A security deposit in the amount established by the city ordinance shall be collected by the city to cover the cost of plan review and inspections.
(Ord. 89-O-446 § 1. Formerly 17.168.170; Ord. 07-O-596)
