Comments Requirements

Show the following comments on plans:
The contractor will stamp on face of curb all utility crossings under the curb with the following code letters:

• "S" = Sanitary Sewer
• "W" = Waterlines
• "I" = Irrigation
• "C" = Conduits for Utilities

The marking shall locate the end of the stubbed service at a 90-degree angle to the curb to aid in locating the stub at a future date. At utility crossings that continue beyond the right-of-way; place the marking in curb directly above utility centerline.

Revisions

After review, if necessary, the Public Works Department will mail a letter requesting revisions and a red lined set of mark-ups to the engineer/architect and owner.  The engineering/architectural firm resubmits two modified sets for a second review and approval.
    

Final Notes

• An easement is required for all existing and proposed City facilities and for joint use driveways.
• Owner must agree to maintain current grade and to keep the easement free and clear of any structures, buildings, dwellings or other obstructions (lawful fences excluded).
• If sanitary or storm sewer mains are to be installed, a plan profile is required.
• Trash enclosures required to be outside of city water or sewer easements.

Approval

The Public Works Department approves plans or makes contact by phone or e-mails the applicant as to the corrections needed (this process continues until the plans have signature approval).

Record Drawing & Easement

All projects will have an asbuilt survey done in the field to update the record drawings and provide data for easements.

Record Drawings & Easement Procedure for Private Development

Field Asbuilt Survey

A Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) will do an asbuilt survey of the new project collecting data that is required on the Survey Data Collection Sheet.  This information will be provided to the Engineer and/or Developer to create the Record Drawings and Easements.

Easements

All easements required for this project will be created using the Field Asbuilt Survey Data provided by the PLS.  The City will do a one-time review of the easements prior to being recorded by the County.

Record Drawings:

All projects will require a Record Drawing.  By using the Field Asbuilt Survey Data provided by the PLS along with construction notes and design changes, the record drawings should show proper street names, auditor file numbers for new easements and updated information and location of features.
 

County Auditor's Requirements

The County Auditor's Office has special requirements for all legal documents that need to be recorded against a property. The first sheet must have a 3 inch top margin and 1 inch side and bottom margins. All other sheets of the documents must have 1 inch top, bottom, and side margins. Nothing is to be written or stamped in the margins or the auditor's office will reject the document.

A requirement of acceptance of the utilities and a condition of obtaining a certificate of occupancy, will be that record drawings be provided and that required easement documents be prepared by the owner and submitted, with a recording fee cost of $73.00 for the first page, and $1.00 for every additional page.
