A property owner desiring to encase a street ditch or a swale shall submit a petition concerning these improvements to the city. This petition shall be reviewed by the Engineering Division in order to determine the proper diameter of the pipe required and the appropriate length of ditch to be improved. Street ditch and swale petitions shall be considered in conjunction with the city's annual budget process. In the event the number of petitions exceeds monies available, the City Council shall establish a petition priority order. The city shall not encase a street ditch or swale existing on an unpaved street. The length of existing driveway pipe shall be subtracted from an abutting property owner's frontage when determining storm drainage pipe assessment amounts.
