13.10A.090: IMPROVEMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE:
   A.   General Requirements: All improvements and infrastructure related to a Subdivision shall be installed according to the requirements of the City Code and the Public Works Standards. The Subdivider shall be responsible for extending all utilities and improvements and infrastructure to the Subdivision if they are not already adjacent to or on the site including curb, gutter, and sidewalk on streets operated by the Utah Department of Transportation. When the City is to take ownership of public infrastructure and improvements, the City shall require the Subdivider to install such improvements in a manner that does not cause excessive liability or maintenance costs for the City at the convenience or advantage of the Subdivider.
   B.   Utilities Required: The following utilities are required to be provided by the Subdivider to each lot:
      1.   Culinary Water. The water source shall be provided by applicable water provider unless an alternative permanent source is approved by the City Engineer and the Salt Lake County Health Department.
      2.   Sewer. The sewer service shall be provided by Mount Olympus Improvement District through gravity collection lines. Public sewer lift stations are generally not permitted.
         a.   Public sewer lift stations may be granted by exception by the Administrative Land Use Authority and the City Engineer when a lift station is deemed clearly preferable to the interest of the City and gravity sewer is not feasible.
         b.   Where gravity sewer connections are greater than 500' in distance, septic tanks may be grant upon review and approval of the Salt Lake County Health Department
      3.   Land Drain. The land drain system must be installed in areas with shallow groundwater. If basements are eliminated and the geotechnical report can provide sufficient documentation that groundwater levels (including historical) are deep enough to eliminate the need for the land drain system, the Administrative Land Use Authority and the City Engineer may allow this requirement to be waived.
      4.   Electrical Power. The electrical power will be provided by Rocky Mountain Power (RMP), or their successors and all installations must follow RMP Standards.
      5.   Natural Gas. The natural gas service will be provided by Dominion Energy, or their successors, and all installations must follow Dominion Energy Standards.
   C.   Storm Water: Storm water plans shall meet the requirements of the Title 17 of this code. The City Engineer shall determine the appropriate implementation strategy for meeting the City’s storm water-related standards, using the current Capital Facilities Plan as a guide; this may include decisions regarding ownership and access to storm water ponds, and where and how the water shall flow as part of the City’s overall storm water system.
   D.   Storm Drainage (Canals And Ditches):
      1.   No ditch or canal shall be approved as suitable for the use of storm drainage water without the written permission of the appropriate ditch or canal company or of the water users for such use. No ditch or canal shall be used for stormwater unless adequately improved to handle such water as may be reasonably expected to be conveyed through the canal or ditch including, irrigation water, subdivision runoff water, and other water expected to reach such canal or ditch. Any modification to an existing canal or ditch is also subject to the review and approval of the city engineer. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
      2.   The subdivider shall work with irrigation, drainage or ditch companies as to:
         a.   Methods of covering, realigning or eliminating ditches or canals within or abutting the subdivision;
         b.   The size of pipe and culverts required; and
         c.   The responsibility for the periodic inspection, cleaning and maintenance of such ditches, pipes and culverts. In cases where canals or ditches cross public roads or proposed public roads, specifications and grades for pipe or culvert must be approved by the community development department.
   E.   Canal, Ditch, Irrigation Certification Of Protection: No plats for subdivision improvements shall be approved by the city unless a “certification of protection of existing irrigation and storm drain facilities” has been completed and submitted to the city.
   D.   Inspections: All improvements and infrastructure shall receive inspections by the City Engineer and as necessary to verify conformance with the City Code and the Public Works Standards. Failure to obtain the necessary inspections shall result in a fine as outlined in this Title. Failure to obtain the necessary inspections may also necessitate removal and re-installation of the improvements and infrastructure at the Subdivider’s sole cost, as such removal and re-installation are determined by the City Engineer.
   E.   Fee in lieu of Actual Improvements: Subdivisions adjacent to a rural road or another road where the surrounding area is lacking public improvements and infrastructure may request the option to pay a fee in lieu of constructing the required improvements and infrastructure. The Administrative Land Use Authority and City Engineer may also require payment of the fee in lieu to make improvements as a part of a larger future project. An Agreement approving the payment of the fee in lieu may be approved during the Preliminary Improvement Plans Application phase by the Administrative Land Use Authority and City Engineer. Fee in lieu Agreements should only be approved when it is unreasonable or undesirable for the improvements and infrastructure to be installed with the development. The Agreement should include:
      1.   A calculation of the cost of the improvements not being installed.
      2.   For areas where the future project date is known, inflation costs at a maximum of 3% per year may be used up to the project year. For areas where the future project date is not known, inflation costs may only be included at a maximum of 3% per year for 5 years.
      3.   For areas where off-site improvements have already been constructed and excess capacity exists that was paid for by the city, Subdividers may “buy in” to the existing improvements to meet their requirements. A determination of available excess capacity and cost will be evaluated by the City Engineer.

      4.   Exceptions. The Administrative Land Use Authority for the Preliminary Subdivision Applications may waive these access requirements for more than thirty (30) residential units with one point of improved ingress/egress when unique topographic circumstances or “landlocked” (physically restrained from other access points) from adjacent, existing developments circumstances exist. A waiver of these regulations may require additional development requirements to ensure public safety standards are met.
      5.   Private Rights-Of-Way. Private rights-of-way may be used for development purposes in all zoning districts subject to the following conditions:
         a.   Private rights-of-way shall be designed and built as per the City of Holladay Public Works Standard Drawings.
