Description/Background:
On behalf of the City, the Public Utilities, Public Works, and Community Development Departments are proposing to amend portions of Title 1 – The Code; Ordinances; Ethics, Title 9 – Stormwater, Title 10 – Streets and Public Improvements, and several chapters with Title 21 of the Sandy Municipal Code and update the City’s Standard Specifications and Details for Municipal Construction. The purpose of these amendments is to update our requirements and standards to better address issues related to proper storm water management and management of floodplains. This involves incorporating Low Impact Development (LID) standards throughout these documents. These proposed changes will bring us into alignment with state and federal standards. The proposed amendments to the Standard Specifications would also formally adopt several temporary changes, alterations, and amendments.
The full text of the proposed changes to the Land Development Code is shown in Exhibit “A” (final draft - no redline format) and Exhibit “B” (final draft - redline format). The revisions to the other chapters of the City's Municipal Code are found in Exhibit "C" (final draft - no redline format) and Exhibit “D” (final draft - redline format).
The final proposed text for the Standard Specifications along with the redlines are shown in the City Engineer’s Memo as Exhibit "E".
A full staff report from Community Development is attached hereto relating to the Land Development Code changes. The City Engineer's Memo covers the changes to the Standard Specifications. The memo from Public Utilities covers the overview of all of the proposed changes relating to storm water management and management of floodplains.
