<br />Based on the above findings and proposed condition, and with the recommended exceptions <br />as noted, staff concludes that this criterion is met. <br /> <br />(b)EC 9.6500 through EC 9.6505 Public Improvement Standards. <br /> <br />EC 9.6500 Easements <br /> <br />This section authorizes the City to require dedication of easements for public utilities and <br />access under certain circumstances. This section also prohibits obstructions within public <br />easements. <br /> <br />With regard to the public storm drainage system, a 10-foot public utility easement (PUE) is <br />proposed across Lots 1 and 2 which will accommodate public stormwater detention pipes and <br />manholes. For the public wastewater system, public utility easements will be required as a <br />condition of approval under EC 9.6505(2), below. <br /> <br />Otherwise, the applicant does not propose, nor has Public Works staff identified, the need for <br />additional public easements to address stormwater or wastewater needs for present or future <br />development of the area. <br /> <br />As an informational item, pursuant to EC 9.6500(3), if any public utility easements are shown on <br />the final plat, the plat will need to note the following restriction: No building, structure, tree, <br />or other obstruction shall be placed or located on or in a public utility easement. <br /> <br />Based on these findings, the proposed subdivision will comply with EC 9.6500. <br /> <br />EC 9.6505 ImprovementsSpecifications <br /> <br />This section requires all public improvements to be designed and constructed in accordance <br />with adopted plans and policies, the procedures specified in EC Chapter 7, and standards and <br />specifications adopted pursuant to EC Chapter 7. Additionally, all developments are required to <br />be served by and implement infrastructure improvements including water, sewage, streets, <br />street trees, street lights, sidewalks, accessways, and stormwater drainage. The applicant <br />proposes all public improvements to be privately engineered and constructed. <br /> <br />To ensure compliance with EC 9.6505, an Engineering and Construction agreement is required <br />for the private construction of public improvements, which must be submitted when the <br />construction plans are submitted for review and approval. The configuration and size of the <br />public improvements will be subject to approval by the City Engineer upon review of the design <br />permitted prior to plat approval, a bond for the construction of public improvements will be <br />required prior to final plat approval. These future requirements will be further addressed as <br />part of the subsequent subdivision application process. <br /> <br />Based on the above findings and subsequent permit requirements, the development will <br />comply with these standards, as discussed in more detail below. <br /> <br />Capital Hill PUD (PDT 17-1) February 2018 40 <br />Page 40 <br /> <br />
