STAFF REPORT
Page 1 of 2
A proposed revision was recommended by the Public works
Depart.ment to the sections of the Municipal Code relating to
connection of properties to the City I S sewage system. This
revision established a City policy that all new developments
would be required to connect to the Municipal sewage system
with .certain limited exceptions. Provisions were contained in
the revised code sections that a development could be excepted
from this requirement, by a finding by the Planning Commission
that two specified conditions applied.
The proposed revisions also included a prOV1S1.0n that
an owner who was required to extend a sewer main more than 300
feet could file a 'request for reimbursement with the City
Engineer. Whenever the City Engineer finds that certain
criteria are satisfied, then a recommendation wouldbei made
that the City enter into a payback agreement or approve payment
for a portion of the cost.
It has been recognized that further exceptions need to
be allowed to the requirement that new developments be required
to connect to the sewage system. A proposed revision to the
current code sections was prepared, to authorize additional
exeptions. These additional exceptions include in-fill
projects, developments that will ,not generate any sewage and
additions less than 25%. This proposed ordinance was reviewed
bi' the Legislative Review Committee on 12-08-88, and approved
with minor modifications.
Concern was expressed by members of the Legislative
Review Committee that environmental factors be considered in
processing an application for a building permit for a septic
tank. The proposed ordinance has been revised to require that
staff of. the Building and Safety Department consider environ-
mental issues during their processing of an applicatioh for a
building permit. Also, the effective date has been changed
from 10-1-88 to the adoption date of this ordinance.
Other minor revisions have also been made; in
~lct"ordance with a request from the City Attorney's office.
fhese revisions consist of making it clear that exceptions for
being in excess of 1/2 acre and natural obstructions apply only
to residential uses, and commercial/industrial uses that
generate less than 200 gallons of sewage per day, and a
reference included to the definition in the Municipal Code for
in-fill housing. The conditions for lots in excess of 1/2 acre
and a natural obstruction have been combined for clarity.
Other minor editorial changes have also been incorporated into
the fincH draft.
The proposed reV1.S1.on transfers the responsibility for
making a finding, that the listed conditions are satisfied,
horn the Planning Commission to the Director of Public
Works/City Engineer. This transfer is made since the Director
