[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §236), 11-2-2004]
In any case in which a developer installs or causes the installation
of water, sewer, electrical power, telephone or cable television facilities
and such facilities shall be owned, operated or maintained by a public
utility or any entity other than the developer, the developer shall
transfer to such utility or entity the necessary ownership or easement
rights to enable the utility or entity to operate and maintain such
facilities.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §237), 11-2-2004]
A. Whenever it is legally possible and practicable in terms of topography
to connect a lot with a public water or sewer line by running a connecting
line not more than three hundred (300) feet (two thousand five hundred
(2,500) feet for new subdivision) from the lot to such line, then
no use requiring water or sewage disposal service may be made of such
lot unless connection is made to such line.
B. Connection to such water or sewer line is not legally possible if,
in order to make connection with such line by a connecting line that
does not exceed three hundred (300) feet in length (two thousand five
hundred (2,500) feet for new subdivision), it is necessary to run
the connecting line over property not owned by the owner of the property
to be served by the connection and, after diligent effort, the easement
necessary to run the connecting line cannot reasonably be obtained.
C. For purposes of this Article, a lot is "served" by a public owned
water or sewer line if connection is required by this Section.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §238), 11-2-2004]
Every principal use and every lot within a subdivision shall
be served by a sewage disposal system that is adequate to accommodate
the reasonable needs of such use or subdivision lot and that complies

[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §239), 11-2-2004]
All plans shall be certified by the City Engineer that the system
is adequate and meets City specifications.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §240), 11-2-2004]
Every principal use and every lot within a subdivision shall
be served by a water supply system that is adequate to accommodate
the reasonable needs of such use or subdivision lot and that complies

A. All public streets, sidewalks and other common areas or facilities
in subdivisions created after the effective date of these regulations
shall be sufficiently illuminated to ensure the security of property
and the safety of persons using such streets, sidewalks and other
common areas or facilities.
B. All roads, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots and other common areas
and facilities in unsubdivided developments created after the effective
date of these regulations shall be sufficiently illuminated to ensure
the security of property and the safety of persons using such roads,
driveways, sidewalks, parking lots and other common areas and facilities.
C. All entrances and exits in substantial buildings used for non-residential
purposes and in two-family or multi-family residential developments
containing more than four (4) dwelling units created after the effective
date of these regulations shall be adequately lighted to ensure the
safety of persons and the security of the buildings.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §243), 11-2-2004]
Lighting within any lot that unnecessarily illuminates any other lot and substantially interferes with the use or enjoyment of such other lot is prohibited. Lighting unnecessarily illuminates another lot if it clearly exceeds the standard set forth in Section
400.770 or if the standard set forth in Section
400.770 could reasonably be achieved in a manner that would not substantially interfere with the use or enjoyment of neighboring properties.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §244), 11-2-2004]
A. Every principal use and every lot within a subdivision shall have
available to it a source of electric power adequate to accommodate
the reasonable needs of such use and every lot within such subdivision.
Compliance with this requirement shall be determined as follows:
1.
If the use is not a subdivision and is located on a lot that
is served by an existing power line and the use can be served by a
simple connection to such power line (as opposed to a more complex
distribution system, such as would be required in an apartment complex
or shopping center), then no further certification is needed.
2.
If the use is a subdivision or is not located on a lot served
by an existing power line or a substantial internal distribution system
will be necessary, then the electric utility service provider must
review the proposed plans and certify to the City that it can provide
service that is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use and
every lot within the proposed subdivision.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §245), 11-2-2004]
A. Every principal use and every lot within a subdivision must have
available to it a telephone service cable adequate to accommodate
the reasonable needs of such use and every lot within such subdivision.
Compliance with this requirement shall be determined as follows:
1.
If the use is not a subdivision and is located on a lot that
is served by an existing telephone line and the use can be served
by a simple connection to such power line (as opposed to a more complex
distribution system, such as would be required in an apartment complex
or shopping center), then no further certification is necessary.
2.
If the use is a subdivision or is not located on a lot served
by an existing telephone line or a substantial internal distribution
system will be necessary, then the telephone utility company must
review the proposed plans and certify to the City that it can provide
service that is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use and
every lot within the proposed subdivision.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §246), 11-2-2004]
A. All electric power lines (not to include transformers or enclosures
containing electrical equipment including, but not limited to, switches,
meters or capacitors which may be pad mounted), telephone, gas distribution
and cable television lines in subdivisions constructed after the effective
date of these regulations shall be placed underground in accordance
with the specifications and policies of the respective utility service
providers and located in accordance with Appendix C to this Chapter,
Standard Drawing No. 6 or 7, when practicable, and in consultation
with the City Engineer.
B. Whenever an unsubdivided development is hereafter constructed on
a lot that is undeveloped on the effective date of these regulations,
then all electric power, telephone, gas distribution and cable television
lines installed to serve the development that are located on the development
site outside of a previously existing public street right-of-way shall
be placed underground in accordance with the specifications and policies
of the respective utility companies.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §247), 11-2-2004]
A. Whenever it can reasonably be anticipated that utility facilities
constructed in one (1) development will be extended to serve other
adjacent or nearby developments, such utility facilities (e.g., water
or sewer lines) shall be located and constructed so that extensions
can be made conveniently and without undue burden or expense or unnecessary
duplication of service.
B. All utility facilities shall be constructed in such a manner as to
minimize interference with pedestrian or vehicular traffic and to
facilitate maintenance without undue damage to improvements or facilities
located within the development.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §248), 11-2-2004]
Whenever a developer installs or causes to be installed any
utility line in any public right-of-way, the developer shall, as soon
as practicable after installation is complete and before acceptance
of any water or sewer line, furnish the City with a copy of a drawing
that shows the exact location of such utility lines. Such drawings
must be verified as accurate by the utility service provider. Compliance
with this requirement shall be a condition of the continued validity
of the permit authorizing such development.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §249), 11-2-2004]
A. Every development (subdivided or unsubdivided) that is served by
a public water system shall include a system of fire hydrants sufficient
to provide adequate fire protection for the buildings located or intended
to be located within such development.
B. The presumption established by this Article is that to satisfy the standard set forth in Subsection
(A), fire hydrants must be located so that all parts of every building within the development may be served by a hydrant by laying not more than three hundred (300) feet of hose connected to such hydrant. However, the Fire Chief may authorize or require a deviation from this standard if in his/her professional opinion another arrangement more satisfactorily complies with the standard set forth in Subsection
(A).
C. In general, fire hydrants shall be placed six (6) feet behind the
curb line of publicly dedicated streets that have curb and gutter.
D. Unless otherwise specified, all hydrants shall have two (2) two and
one-half (2 1/2) inch hose connections and one (1) four and one-half
(4 1/2) inch hose connection. The two and one-half (2 1/2)
inch hose connections shall be located at least twenty-one and one-half
(21 1/2) inches from the ground level. All hydrant threads shall
be national standard threads.
E. Water lines that serve hydrants shall be at least six (6) inch lines
and, unless no other practicable alternative is available, no such
lines shall be dead-end lines.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 15 §250), 11-2-2004]
A. Every development that, under the City's solid waste collection policies,
is or will be required to provide one (1) or more dumpsters for solid
waste collection shall provide sites for such dumpsters that are:
1.
Located so as to facilitate collection and minimize any negative
impact on persons occupying the development site, neighboring properties
or public rights-of-way; and
2.
Constructed according to specifications established by the City
Engineer to allow for collection without damage to the development
site or the collection vehicle.
B. All such dumpsters shall be screened if and to the extent that, in
the absence of screening, they would be clearly visible to:
1.
Persons located within any dwelling unit on residential property
other than that where the dumpster is located.
2.
Occupants, customers or other invitees located within any building
on non-residential property other than that where the dumpster is
located, unless such other property is used primarily for purposes
permitted exclusively in an "M-1" or "M-2" zoning district.
3.
Persons traveling on any public street, sidewalk or other public
way.
C. When dumpster screening is required under this Section, such screening
shall be constructed, installed and located to prevent or remedy the
conditions requiring the screening.
