Maintenance requirements and responsibility shall be clearly identified for all projects where best management practices are employed, including those for erosion and sedimentation control, storm water management, and fuel modification for wildfire mitigation. When a storm water system is designed to service more than one lot, a maintenance agreement between all parties that benefit from the system must be established, including assurance of adequate funding. Easements across private property for maintenance access to community stormwater systems shall also be required where necessary. All private maintenance agreements and required easements must be executed prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy, recordation of final plat, or similar approvals of the City.
In the event that appropriate maintenance of any stormwater system is not conducted, the City shall have the option of requiring the property owner or association to provide for maintenance, or take other enforcement measures as outlined in section 17.08.955 of this chapter. (Ord. 3091 §12, 2003)
