STAFF REPORT
Re: Amendments of Section 18.40.160 of the Subdivision
Ordinance Relating to Secondary Access
The requirements relating to secondary access outside the high
fire hazard zone have not been changed.
Captions have been added to enhance the readability of the
ordinance.
Subsection 1d requires that the secondary access route be
dedicated either to the City or to another public agency; the
administrative burden of obtaining permission from another agency
is on the subdivider, not the City. '
The language in section 1e "based on appropriate traffic
analysis" has been changed to "based on a City approved traffic
study".
The requirement in subsection 1f has been changed to incorporate
the standard for all weather roads from Uniform Fire Code Section
10.207(d). This was done to clarify the definition of all
weather, and to make the subdivision ordinance consistent with
the Uniform Fire Code.
The width requirement in section 19 has been changed to 24 feet
at the request of the Engineering Department, with the
concurrence of the Fire Department; this makes the requirement
consistent with other City development standards.
Subsection 2 gives the Mayor and Common Council the authority to
determine to what standards a secondary access route must be
paved.
