A. It is the purpose of this section to eliminate or reduce the number of paving cuts in established streets for installation of utilities by requiring placement of sleeves under the street surface at the time of paving, or by requiring boring under the surface of existing streets.
1. In new subdivisions, or in street paving projects in existing developed areas, the following provisions shall be made for extension of utilities under the street paving:
a. Water line stubs shall be installed from an existing city water line to the opposite side of the street in a manner that will assure every planned and existing lot has direct access on its property to the water system. These stubs shall be dedicated to and maintained by the city as a part of the water distribution system.
b. Street paving plans shall reflect the need for all potential utilities that will be extended under the street surface. Said plans will provide for the installation of each utility during street construction, including sleeves for future installations, where it has been determined during city review of the paving plans that said installations will provide for utility extension without requiring removal of the pavement.
c. Where utility sleeves do not exist and it is necessary to extend utilities under a street surface, said extension shall be accomplished by boring unless the city council specifically authorizes the removal of paving. (Ord. 1997-12, 8-21-1997)
