(a) General Installation Requirements. Utilities shall be installed in rear lot easements except where utility lines already exist. This excludes water, gas and sewer utilities. A total of twelve feet shall be provided at the rear property lines for any utilities required.
(b) Water Supply System. Where, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, the public water supply is reasonably accessible or available to the proposed subdivision, the subdivider shall construct a complete water distribution system which shall adequately serve all lots and which shall include appropriately spaced fire hydrants, and this system shall be properly connected with the public water supply. Where a public water supply is not within a reasonable distance or otherwise available, the subdivider shall normally be required to construct a similar water distribution system and connect it with an alternate supply approved by the County Health Commissioner. Before the Planning Commission approves the use of individual wells, lot sizes shall meet all regulations of the Regional Planning and Health Commission and the same shall be submitted for the approval of the County Health Commissioner.
(c) Sanitary Sewers. Where, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, the public sanitary sewerage system is reasonably accessible or available to the proposed subdivision, the subdivider shall construct a subdivision sewerage system to adequately serve all lots and connect the subdivision system to the public system after the City Engineer or designee has approved the size of the lines. Where lots cannot be served by the extension of an existing public sanitary sewer, the subdivider shall meet the regulations of the General Health District as to lot sizes for individual septic tanks and disposal fields. Plans shall be submitted for approval by the County Health Commissioner or a permit for the use of a neighborhood disposal system shall be obtained from the County Health Commissioner.
(d) Storm Drainage. An adequate drainage system, including underground pipes, manholes, inlets, catch basins and other appurtenances, shall be provided for the proper drainage of all surface water and for the maintenance of any natural drainage courses. All storm sewers shall be designed and constructed in accordance with City standards.
(e) Electric and Telephone Service. In all cases, electric and telephone service shall be installed at the rear property line. Whenever possible, underground cables shall be installed. (Ord. 2005-34. Passed 12-12-05.)
