Lee N. Brennan, Public Works Director
Provide information to the Planning Commission and Applicant {hereinafter referred to as "Developer")
regarding City Public Works Department (PWD) standards, requirements, and conditions to be
included in the design and development of the proposed commercia[lprofessional office facility. Gather
information from the DeveloperlEngineer regarding the proposed development.
Special Requirements
Exis#ing Infrastructure: The Developer shat[ demonstrate that all connections to existing
infrastructure (i.e. streets water, sanitary sewer, storm drain systems; natural drainage
systems; etc.,) will not interfere with or provide for the degradation of the existing effective level
of service or operation of the infrastructure facilities, and that the existing infrastructure facilities
have either adequate capacities to accommodate the flows andlor demands imposed on the
existing infrastructure as the result of the connection of the proposed development's
infrastructure, or wilt be improved by and at the expense of the Developer to accommodate the
additional flows andlor demands; while maintaining or improving the existing level of service of
the affected facility, as approved by {as applicable}, the regulatory agency, utility owner, andlor
property owner involved,
2. Improvements to AIIey. Recommend requirement to financially participate in improvements to
alley. In August of 1998, we required Central Point Florist to construct alley improvements
(including grading, road bed construction [i.e base rock and paving] and storm drainage
improvements), commencing from the northwest corner of the C.P. Florist property to the
connection of the alley onto 4'" street, including removal and replacement of the alley's driveway
connection to 4`" Street, These improvements were never constructed, and the Planning
Director is reportedly trying to initiate a local improvement to complete all of the alley
improvements on this alley from 3rd to 4'" Street. Thus the City's PWD recommendation is that
the Developer be required to proportionately share in the costs to design and construct the
required improvements to the alley., with the improvements to be designed and constructed by
October 2000.

3. Manzanifa Street Driveway Aron: Construct required driveway apron and sidewalk section
for proposed driveway connection onto Manzanita Street in accordance with City PWD
standards. Fence and wall shall make sure that sight-vision triangles are maintained at gated
access from the property.
4. Site Drainage/Storm Drain Plan: It is recommended that the developer design and implement
a site drainagelstorm drain plan that corrects and enhances existing site drainage for the entire
areas noted on the site plan. This will require site drainage improvements to the entire tax lot.
The current sheet flow surface drainage from the properties onto the public rights-af-way or
onto neighboring properties is unacceptable. This can be easily accomplished installing a
continuation of the curbing along the eastern property line to direct surface drainage to the (rant
of the lot. The front of the fot and driveway would need to be graded to direct the majority of
surface drainage to the existing storm drainage collection facilities on the northwest corner of
the lot, and not through the new driveway section. The existing piped outlet at the northwest
corner would have to be modified to include a "lynch box" type area drain that includes a
"petroleum product trap" and which meets current UPC requirements. The PWD will require a
drainage plan which illustrates existing and future surface grades which illustrate surface
drainage flow direction.
The Developer shat[ verify that the roof drains are not connected to the sanitary sewer system,
but which are connected to either discharge at the face of the curb, or into the storm drainage
system. if the roof drains discharge to the sanitary sewer system, than the Developer will be
required to modify the drains so that they discharge to a newly installed collection system that
discharges at the face of the curb. Roof drains shall not discharge across the public rights-of-
way.
~. Drivewa s Access Roads and Parkin Areas: The Developer shad evaluate the strength of
the native soils and determine the access road, parking, and driveway section designs to
handle the expected loads (including fire equipment} to be traveled on these private driveways,
access roads, and parking areas. Need to provide section for review. The driveways, access
roads, and truck parking and turning areas on the proposed development must be designed
and positioned in a manner that will accommodate the turning movements and access of the
anticipated trucks and Fire District Na. 3, as applicable. Ali driveways, access roads, and
parking areas should either have asphalt or cement concrete surfaces.
6. Utilit Easements: A 10-foot wide public utility easement (PUS) will be required along the
subject property's frontages with Manzanita Street.
Cif Water Service Revision/U rode and Backflow Prevenfion Assembl Insfallafion:
As applicable, the Developer shall work with the City PWD on revisinglupgrading the site's
water service connections to comply with current City ordinances regarding water service and
backflow prevention assembly installation. Approved backflaw prevention assembly installation
(at the Developer's expense) may be required directly behind all the City water service meters
that service the proposed developments. Any new connections to the City's water system to
facilitate the proposed development shall be performed by the City at the Developer's expense.

15. Sform Drain Sysfem Design: The Developer's engineer shall provide the City PWD with a
complete set of hydrology and hydraulic calculations and profile plats for sizing the site storm
drain system. The engineer shall use the rainfalllintensity curve obtained from the City PWD for
hydrology calculations, and the negotiated run-off parameters.
Developer's engineer shall provide a site drainage plan designed, at a minimum, to
accommodate a 10 year storm event. The SD system must be designed to adequately drain
the 1Q-year storm event without surcharging the City's existing storm drainage collection and
conveyance system, or must be provided with adequate storage to prevent surcharging; and be
designed to not impact existing public or private storm drainage facilities. Catch basins and
area drains shall be designed for on-site sediment and petroleum hydrocarbon retention. The
private storm drain system shall be designed to directly connect to the public storm drain
system, and shall not be designed to discharge to the street surfaces. Surface drainage from
any fuel storage and dispensing facilities shall not be directly connected to the storm drainage
system without prior approval by the DEQ and City PWD.
Public storm drain pipe materials shall be PVC, HDPE, or reinforced concrete, with water-tight
joints, meeting current City PWD standards. Provide concrete or sand-cement slurry
encasement where required in areas of minimum cover. A maximum 3-inch-diameter pipe size

in the engineering calculations.
16. Clear Vision Areas/Trian_gles. All driveway approaches of the proposed Development
connecting to public roads shall maintain the required sight vision triangles as measured from
the edge of the right-of-way to the center of the driveway. This requirement may be adjusted by
the City PWD, depending on final orientation and lane layout of the adjoining roads, in
accordance with AASHTO clear sight-vision requirements. Adequate clear visors arealtriangles
shall also be maintained at all internal driveway intersections.
