16.16.190: CURB, GUTTER, PARK STRIP AND SIDEWALK:
The following principles and standards shall apply to the design and installation of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, park strips and pedestrianways:
   A.   Curb and gutter as shown on the city's standard detail drawings is required in all subdivisions. Curb and gutter shall be a minimum of 2.5 feet wide and shall be installed on both sides of the paved width portion of street right of way. The planning commission may recommend that sidewalks be omitted in a subdivision, or planned unit development having an internal pedestrian system, if the planning commission finds that the public safety is not substantially jeopardized.
   B.   A park strip is required in all subdivisions, except as otherwise recommended by the planning commission and the city engineer. The park strip shall be located either within the nonpaved portion of the street right of way, or within a dedicated landscaping easement, not less than five and one-half feet (51/2') wide, adjacent to the street. The park strip generally is contiguous with the back of the curb and gutter, but may be located at the back of sidewalk in a landscape easement if the sidewalk is placed at the back of the curb and gutter.
   C.   Sidewalks are generally located contiguous to the edge of the planting strip and are four feet (4') wide. For good cause shown, the sidewalk may be installed at the back of the curb and gutter with a width and in a configuration as required by the city engineer.
