(A) Access.
(1) All points of access to existing city roads or streets shall meet the standards set forth in the Brigham City Public Works Standards and Technical Specifications, or applicable modifications thereto. The design and construction of turn lanes, merging lanes, traffic signs or signals and other improvements required to make access points conform to city standards shall be the responsibility of the developer.
(2) Development plans shall provide for the dedication of any rights-of-way which are within, but will not serve a development, and which are determined by the Planning Commission or City Council to be necessary to effectively link the proposed development with future major roads or future developments or to prevent the “landlocking” of adjoining properties or to provide the best possible long-term circulation pattern.
(B) Road infrastructure design.
(1) The design and construction of all roads in the North Shore Development shall be in accordance with the Brigham City Public Works Standards and Technical Specifications, as modified for the North Shore Development.
(2) Roads on soils having low bearing strengths, high shrink-swell potentials or high frost heave hazards may be required, upon recommendation of the City Engineer, to be constructed to specifications more demanding than those required on other sites.
(C) Cul-de-sacs.
(1) Cul-de-sacs are discouraged and shall only be permitted where they are identified on the General Development Plan or subsequent development plans.
(2) The maximum length of a cul-de-sac on any non-rural designated road, as designated on the General Development Plan or subsequent development plans shall be 600 feet.
(3) The maximum length of a cul-de-sac on a rural designated road, as designated on the General Development Plan or subsequent development plans shall be as follows, unless the Fire Marshal agrees to other lengths. The length of these cul-de-sacs shall be based on the wildfire hazard rating of the surrounding area.
Wildfire Hazard Rating | Maximum Length |
Moderate | 1,200 feet |
High | 900 feet |
Extreme | 500 feet |
(4) The cul-de-sac shall not be less than 60 feet in diameter, or as required by the Fire Marshal and City Engineer.
(5) A hammerhead cul-de-sac design may be allowed at the discretion of the Fire Marshal.
(6) All cul-de-sacs must include signage indicating that the road is a dead end road within 50 feet of the outlet.
(D) Bridges and culverts. Bridges and culverts shall be constructed to support a gross vehicle weight of 40,000 pounds and shall have vehicle load limits posted. Permanent culverts shall be installed at all intermittent and perennial stream crossings. Specifications for bridges, culverts and other stream crossing devices shall take into account at least the 25-year frequency storm and upstream debris hazard. If the development is within a 100-year floodplain, then 100-year frequency storm shall be used in drainage design.
(E) Traffic control and street signage.
(1) All roads will be designated with road names and signs will be installed at each major road intersection. All lots and/or home sites will be visibly signed with street addresses and numbered as such. Emergency access roads shall be clearly identified.
(2) All roads shall be named or numbered in accordance with the city’s addressing system and road identification signs in accordance with city standards and specifications. All permitted occupied structures shall post addresses prior to occupancy.
(3) The developer shall be responsible for the expense of constructing and placing traffic- control signs, as follows.
(a) Stop signs shall be placed at all intersections of arterials; of collectors and arterials; and when appropriate as determined by the City Engineer, local streets/roads and collectors.
(b) Yield signs shall be required at the intersection of all other streets and roads when determined by the Streets Department.
(F) Snow removal and road maintenance on private roads. Snow removal and road maintenance on private roads will be the responsibility of the respective property owner or homeowners’ association and will be noted as such on the recorded plat of any subdivision which includes private streets. The CC&Rs for the development shall include enforcement language for mandatory budgeting by the association to provide snow removal and road maintenance services. When no homeowners’ association exists, snow removal shall be the responsibility of the owner of the private street.
(G) Pedestrian access.
(1) Sidewalks, pedestrian walkways or non-motorized trails shall be provided for internal pedestrian, bicycle and/or equestrian circulation within developed portions of the North Shore Development.
(2) Sidewalks, walkways, and trails shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the Brigham City Public Works Standards and Technical Specifications, as modified for the North Shore Development.
(H) Public utilities.
(1) All utilities shall be placed underground unless the City Council, following recommendation by the City Planning Commission, with input from the affected utility, determines that special conditions exist, other than cost, which should permit the utility to be installed above ground.
(2) Natural gas service may be installed at the developer’s option. Propane use must conform to all applicable provisions of the Uniform Fire Code.
(3) Rights-of-way or easements shall be provided as required by the utilities serving the proposed development.
(4) Underground utility services shall be installed extending into private property to a distance 15 feet feet from the property line of each lot before roads are surfaced.
(I) Coordination with Box Elder School District. All developments proposing residential uses shall coordinate such development proposals with the Box Elder School District. All residential developments where public maintenance is anticipated shall provide adequate school bus loading and turn-around areas, as evidenced by a written statement from the Box Elder School District.
