RESOLUTION NO. 609
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ARROYO GRANDE, ESTABLISHING PROCEDURE PRIOR
TO THE INSTALIATION OF CURB, GUTTER AND SIDE-
WALKS ADJACENT TO IMPROVED PROPERTY.
WHEREAS, under the provisions of Ordinance No. 105 of the City
of Arroyo Grande, it was provided that the City Council of the City
of Arroyo Grande was authorized to adopt Rules and Regulations per-
taining to the construction of buildings and structures in the City
of Arroyo Grande by Resolution, and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to adopt Rules and Regulations pertain-
ing to the issuance of permits for the installation of curb, gutter
and sidewalks adjacent to improved property, and
WHEREAS, it is beneficial to the City and to the property owners
to install curb, gutters and sidewalks on existing streets for the
control of drainage and to provide for pedestrian traffic out of
the path of moving vehicles using the roadway, now
THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of i
Arroyo Grande as follows:
1. Applications for grades of curbs will be made to the
Department of Public Works with a brief description of
the property and location of the proposed improvements.
2. The Director of Public Works and/or the City Engineer
shall review the site of the work and determine if there
is any obvious reason why grades would be "incompatable"
in this location.
3. Upon determining that curbs can be installed without
creating a drainage problem (in their best judgement)
the Director of Public Works shall notify the City
Council of the request for grades and ask for authori-
zation to establish official street grades for the work.
4. Upon being authorized by action of the City Council, the
Director of Public Works shall notify the City Er.ginee:c
to make the necessary survey and prepare plans establish-
ing official street grades for the work. In order that
continuity of drainage may be assured, the survey, plans
and designs shall extend to a point of concentration of
storm runoff where it can be disposed of in an existing
channel or drainage facility, or to a point mutually
agreed upon by the Director of Public Works and the City
Engineer where it will not create a public hazard.
5. Completed plans shall be submitted to the Director of
Public Works for his approval prior to setting grades for
construction of the improvements. After the plans have
been approved by the Director of Public Works, the City
Engineer shall have the grades marked for construction
on the site of the work and review them on the site with
the Director of Public Works.
-
6. Following approval of the staking for the work, the
Director of Public Works shall notify the owner that
grades have been set and staked and authorize construc-
tion to be started.
7. The City must expend considerable effort and monies to
establish official street grades; therefore it will be
necessary for the owner to post a surety or cash bond
with the City Clerk in the amount of 100% of the project
to assure that the work will be done after grades have
been established.
8. It is the intent of the City Council to promote orderly
growth of improvements within the City with a minimum
of cost to the City and to the property owners, therefore
official street grades will be established to cause as
little interference as possible with existing facilities,
consistent with sound principles of engineering practice.
Costs of construction of the curb, gutter and sidewalk
facilities and driveway modifications necessary to connect
with the new work shall be paid for by the property owner.
Grading, base material and surfacing required within the
street area shall be installed to the lip of the newly
constructed gutter by the City.
